Good morning all, Rugby starts in less than 40 minutes, did anybody watched Boots & All last night or now?
@ superBul:
Good morning super hows it going man? See you’re on the job nice and early this morning. Going to be a nail biting game for the Bulls tomorrow 🙂
@ Bullscot:
Hard fought 4 pointer 😀
How are you scot, i am going to my mother just after the 2nd game, so i will miss all rugby from the Cheetah/Lions game
@ superBul:
Yeah pity we will just miss out on the bonus point 🙂 Must say I think its a silly idea they have of getting points for not playing. Doing well here man. Thats good for you to be able to see your mom, there will be loads more rugby at least you can watch most of them, I never get to watch the games anyway just occasionally see the highlights on the Bulls site. If they keep the mistakes down the Cheetahs/Lions game could be quite entertaining, who will win? Now I think you have soft spot for Cheetahs, but maybe you like Lions too…
Blues doing really well this year, hopefully they can keep it up and win their conference, make the mighty Crusaders do the travelling. So here’s to a Blues win over the Hurricanes today!
Game on
Penalty – Blues Lachie Munro 3-0

Lemoene tyd
Hello fellas,
I’m here in Pretoria, still busy with house renovations…. 2 sanders blaring in the background…. wood dust EVERYWHERE!
Am on a very shitty EDGE Connection here…. so just popped in whilst getting mail and organising the last things for 2 geysers which had burst and needs to be replaced PLUS one ceiling….. eish…. under my comprehensive insurance policy for this house.
How’s the rugby… no TV in sight!
@ grootblousmile:
Not at all impressed by this game, there are other players who knocks the ball just like PS in contact. Lot of handling errors and the Blues lineout is not functioning well, they lost a lot of ball.
2nd half started , let us see if one of the teams can copy the Bulls half time turnaround
Hi ouens,
Back at work after a great few days on the Wild Coast, so heavy reliant on the updates. Thanks Super.

super @ 13
didnt watch boots & all
but
had a look at reunion this morning … they were covering that penalties not given against sbwilliams and (i think) the crusaders hooker at the end of the force/crusaders game. funny thing is, they when showed the clip of the force player being penalised for the same offence and went on about not releasing in the tackle etc etc etc
when they looked at sbwilliams etc doing the same thing they changed to 50/50 calls, not held in the tackle (although it was obvious that he was) etc etc etc … bloody laughable!!
@ Ashley:
B&A was broadcast from Arabella , think near Hermanus. Frik du Preez was also there amongst the whole who is who from WP. Frik is so calm end decisive in his opinions, will tell you more later. He is really a GREAT
