@ superBul:
Na ek gesien het hoe bekker ander dag by daai highlanders slot pak gekry het wonder ek of hy ysterman genoeg is vir die bokke en of hy net sterk is as die outjie kleiner as hy is?
Gaaaap!! Sharks game plan! Gee die bal vir Alberts!! As dit nie werk nie, gee die bal weer vir Alberts!!
Well done Stormers!!
Jis Smallies, nee kyk ons pak word nie verniet die Light 5 genoemie, so ammal ken hul plek. Ma wat jy se bekommer my tog wel; as hy net ten koste van kleiner manne begin gewig rondgooi dan begin hy mos al te veel trek na daai anner Bulslot wie se naam my virre oomblik ontglip…. 😉
die sharks het probeer met alberts,dit het nie gewerk nie.
En Alberts was toe sommer Man of the Match ook!!!
Amazing stuff…..

Nice one Fender, die Stormers kan nie vir n beter begin in 2011 gevra het nie. Great vir julle. Wie nog gewonder het kan nou maar notisie neem, julle meen besigheid. Ek dink regtig die is die jaar waar julle al jul bouery se vrugte MOET pluk. Die Groot probleem kan net wees dat die Bulle ook graag iets wil regkry en die Crusaders is weer honger.
So nou raak dit n ou ou vraag kan julle die regte games wen? Sterkte , as dit nie die Bulle is nie dan verdien julle dit die meeste.
OK ouens, ek moet ‘n stage gan warm maak vi Valiant oppie Bos.
Lekker om met julle uit te hang. Vang julle later.
Groente
@ fender:
Sien jou later weer
Blue Bird congrats on your massive points haul on Superbru.
A full 11.5 points , great show, that helped you to 5th spot.Will have to ask you for tips from now on.
Whoow i fell back to 33rd place, i almost understand the Lion feeling now.
Well done Stormers. To all the Stormer supporters here well done to your team. They were the better team today.
Thanks Puma, Super et al for those kind words. Let’s remember that we still have a loooooong Super season ahead of us.
VRYSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORMERS!
Loosehead, first time I see a split decision in rugby….or are you just boxing clever? 😉
@ superBul:
Morning superBul,
I came back late last night and was surprisingly delighted to find a return to form on the superBru. My first yellow cap this season!
I would like to tell you that my success is due to dilligent study of team lists and player strengths and weaknesses, probable playing conditions and altitude considerations…….
However my technique is rather more simple, I am not willing to discuss it here as I am hoping to win the can of condensed milk and the last of GBS biltong when I finally win this competition!!
Bring it on….. 😆
Have a great day super, today in England is Mothering Sunday and I am entertaing ‘The Family’ so I must get my hostess hat on. See Ya
Grootbluesmile –
Hope you enjoyed Neil Diamond last night, I expect you were the youngest person there.
The rattle of zimmer frames must have been deafening.
Hope it was fun anyway……. “Sweet Caroline” Tra La La
Net vir die info…ek so Bekker gestraf het vir die hoogvat op Mcleod, nie geelkaart nie, want Mcleod het try onder die tackle deurkom, maar dis soos Superbul se, as dit Bakkies was… (Kom ek maak die sin klaar) As dit Bakkies was, sou Super gese het, dat rugby besig is om ‘n softie sport te word as mense daaroor kla en vir Bakkies uitwys en hy dit nie meer wil kyk nie (Soos wat hy gese het na Bakkies se laaste uitwysing), maar nou is dit Bekker, so hy is ‘n vuilgat…interresant.
@ Blue Bird:
BB you enjoy my girl.
You must watch out, Jake White started as a annalist, will your hubby let you go if Peter de Villiers hear of you? 😆
@ The Saint:
saint jy sien my punt in , al wil jy dit nog afmaak. Die feit is wie maak van Bakkies n boelie, die spanne wat hom vrees. Nou wees eerlik , ek dink jy het indirek so iets gese, as hulle van die volgende Springbok gevaar , Bekker n boelie TAG maak kan hy ook soos Bakkies maklik n vuil speler gemaak word.
Die feit is so n groot speler kan maklik n boelie gemaak word waneer hy die ARME Miniatuur spelers soos Aplon, jano, dewalt… tackle. Maar niemand op aarde moan as daai miniatuur spelers so groot ou se naam gat maak deur onder hom te “duck” nie. Het ek gese “duck”, ek bedoel regop hardloop onder hom deur.
Rugby is so uniek met reuse en kabouters wat saam speel in een game sonder n handicap soos in golf. Hoop nie die ou GROOTES word uitgefasser weens simpel reels, wat nie deur refs verstaan word nie.
@ The Saint:
77 o so by the way ek hoop dat niemand sien die foto van Bekker se tackle om die nek nie, daai is lelik. 6 week ban minimum.
Kyk net die wreedheid in Bekker se gesig en die pyn van Mcleod op die foto hieronder. Sien my punt. So flokken los vir Bakkies uit.

I hope Andries Bekker gets cited as well.

Well, I can think of one or two Sharks that should also be cited. They are getting away with murder all the time and when they play for the boks it is going to cost us – mark my words!

GraemeBB – 3 hours ago Report comment
I think Bismark should be the first one to get cited.

@Lucky Strike. None of the Sharks were dragging a player around by his head with his arm around his throat like Bekker did. That was the most dangerous thing that I have seen on a rugby field in the last year and deserves a very long suspension, but we all know that he won’t get cited, because Freek Burger from WP is the citing comissioner. If that was Bakkies doing the same thing, he would have been supended for life.

At least Andries did not pray before the match! That was not foul play anyway – the John Smith incident was much worse!

@Piet Pompies2. I wa a complete neutral supporter in the Sharks/tormers game but would like to see citing to be applied consistently. No Stormers player will ever get cited in a game played in South Africa, because the citing commisioner is Freek Burger from the WP, the biggest cheating ref this country has ever produced.

@ Durasmart, i agree that was quite a high tackle from Bekker, and he should have had a penalty against him, not citing.
Did anybody hear Kaplan say after the Bekker incident, ‘I’m happy with that’ or did my ears deceive me? So help me here: if the ref sees something and is OK with it, how does that influence the citing process?
Then this whole ‘citing officer is from Cape Town so how can there be justice’ says more about the prejudice of ouens making that statement.
@ fender:
fender the ref was happy about the Bakkies Botha one too. I dont want a citing , dont misunderstand me, i just want Justice4bakkies. 😆 The comments above (81) comes from other websites, i just used them to show that others are also wondering.
Super, so the citing officer can overrule the ref’s specific finding then?
In respect of the other comments: maybe people are just unhappy that the Stormers won….
fender wrote:
Yes , like they did in Bakkies case.
Now look at all comments from the other sites, Stormers not cited because the citing commissioner comes from Cape Town, Stormers win because the referees are biased…I am truly fed up with this shit, firstly Kaplan was born in Durban, he was a hometown ref… secondly, the Stormers beat two of the tournament favourites at home, by playing a brand of rugby the other two couldn’t match, by the way, how many times has Bismarck been cited? Not that I know of, yet week after week he is seen in incidents off the ball, conceding penalty after penalty, without as much as a mention. Has anyone read JJ Harmse’s take on the Bulls in Rapport? Oh my word…suddenly all the Bulls are BOKKE again, that man is pathetic!
@ The Saint:
Klaar afgeblaas??
Nou kyk almal erken Stormers het verdien om te wen, raak maar gewoond daaraan dat julle ook nou as n hoe boom gereken word. Nou kan van die wind bietjie op julle waai. Jy weet mos.
JJ het laasweek die Bulle uitmekaar gehaal, seker maar reg as hy hulle guns weer probeer wen? Waar is Louis de Villiers, hy drool seker nou oor al die Bokke daar in die Kaap.
All is not lost!! The Cheetahs are still fighting on the beaches, and still fighting in the trenches… They have been riddled by injuries, especially amongst the loosies, but they are soldiering on with guts and determination!!
Log (with bye points added pro forma lol)
