@ bdb:
Wat dink JY is fout daar?
57@ superBul:
Helloooooooooooo my vrind…. sorry man, kyk wat seg ek in #59
My prediction for this game was Chiefs by 23…. it’s 15 now
@ superBul:
Jisja ou bees, daai hoofpawiljoen op Ellispark lyk darem droewig so leeg….Bulle sal moet vingertrek anders lyk Loftus ook binnekort so.
Die Leeus het die wedstryd weggegee met daardie goeie breek … en toe skop Taute die bal, terwyl hy op aanval is. En, dit som ongelukkig ons SA rugby op, ons wil nie met bal in hand speel nie. Lyk nie goed nie.
Penalty Chiefs, after a big scrum by them…. easy one for Donald
@ grootblousmile:
Aai jy , Pietman en Boel … wat so geld jaag, julle moet relax jong. Hahahaha
Gmpfff… Donald hooks it badly… miss
Saffa players think rugby is about Moering the man and not about using the ball. They think the game is somekind of personal battle between the players while the opposition is all about moving the ball and trying to avoid confrontation where necessary. That’s why our players miss so many tackles – they expect the opposition to try to run over them and that it’s not manly to be elusive.
Ek sien nou eers ouboet Pietman Pietiepedia ok hier…. hello jong!
61: hoeveel tyd het jy ?
67@ superBul:
Ek het die seun se kar se geld om op te maak…. hehehe
Eintlik is ek maar net TOE onder die werk gewees die week… en met my nuwe werksbanke hier stoom ek tussen moerse klomp PC’s
Try Moses… I mean Josh Strauss
@ Pietman:
Pietman nadat die Bulle genul is het ons kwaai begin raas oral op blogs, die Bul ondersteuners wag nie tot die Bees dood is voordat hulle uotopsies doen nie ons probeer daai siek bees red, maar die Unie dink mos ons is voortydig. Tyd vir hard praat die week.
Chiefs 31 / 23
Lions needed Straus much earlier. Good try there. Fially no turn over, but as is so predictable it comes too late to win the match.
69: spot on
En dit is een van die redes waarom Bulle soveel balle in kontak verloor.
Die lions is pateties!houtlepel wink weer die jaar vir hulle.hoe mense nog petrol uitry na ou ellispark weet ek nie.
Ek het een seer middel-oor…. het gisteraand omtrent nie geslaap nie…. voel kompleet of daar vloeistof in my oor rondborrel, kon net op een kant slaap….

@bdb Do you think it is a cultural thing and is it possible to coach it out of the players?
Penalty Lions, very kickable… they MUST take the shot man…
@ grootblousmile:
Dit is flokken ongemaklik
Try by Baywatch Grobbelaar
Chiefs 31 / 30
Kom Leeus doen dit !
Straus has made an enormous difference. It is sad that we can only play iron man rugby. If we don’t have exceptionally strong players that can physically dominate, we are lost….
Penalty Chiefs, from the 22…
Donald goes for posts
Chiefs 34 / 30
3 min left…. 4 points in it
