12@ fender:
Sorry man, het daai ene gemis… moes ‘n draai deur die natuur gaan loop
More almal.
Ek wou nog vra dat die Lions ten minste die bonuspunt sal keer, maar die 5 minute wat ek nou gekyk het, lyk die Lions se verdediging nie goed nie. Dink die Landers gaan hul slag in die 2de helfte.
14@ fender:
Net jammer die Lions speel net met sulke rukke en stote…
Lyk my die Leeus se voorry se timing chain hette reset nodig..
Leeus is glad nie in getalle by die afbreekpunte nie, die Landers steel balle met gemak.
Ja Gbs, amper sose ou Peugeot oppe koue wintersoggend…
18@ fender:
Ja, sê ek ook mos!
19@ bdb:
Ek sien ook daai ding
Arghhh, penalty Landers
Landers 13 / 9
Dink nie die Carlos Spencer plan om uit jou kwartgebied te hardloop is ‘n goeie een nie, dit werk gewoonlik net vir spanne met baie selfvertroue.
20@ fender:
Miskien is hulle choke nie mooi oop nie….. hehehe
1: dit gaan deel van ‘n wonderwerk wees as die Leeus keer dat die Landers nie nog ‘n drie druk in die eerste helfte nie ! Go Lions !
23@ bdb:
Jy ken seker die storie van die jong bul en die ou bul wat op die heuweltjie staan en afkyk op die klomp koeie daar onder…
Die oorgretige jong bulletjie sê “Kom is hardloop af en dek elkeen ‘n koei!
Die ou wyse bul sê “Nee, kom ons loop af en dek die hele lot!”
Die Lions is daai jong, dom ene
Penalty by Sapoaga
Landers 16 / 9
morning everyone
..
and goooooooooo lions!!
Lemoenetyd
26: heheehe, ja dit is waar.
As Leeus enigsins in die wedstryd wil bly, moet hul Whiteley opstuur vir meer spoed by die afbreekpunte.
Die AB kommentators soveel beter as die Aussie gepeupel.
