Ask around who this “Tannie” is… hehehe
Maybe the Lions offered her a fortune to appear here instead of going down to Outdshoorn for the KKNK where she may have played to sell out audiences!
@ Scrumdown:

Her voice ain’t too k@k but I just don’t know! Maybe she’s someone at the Union’s wife or sister.
She’s now replaced by 3 black dudes comically dress all in red (of course) playing penny whistles to a Mango Groove number!
@ grootblousmile:
Soos die Bulle weet ons hoe om ons te pace.
Stormers moet eintlik wen , hul bubble moet nog groter word, dink net die Storm(ers) as hy dan bars.
Ek moet net gou deur ‘n stort en in ‘n paar klere gaan inspring… daasie tyd na die Lions game voor ons ry nie.
