    Eish, my span het hulself in ‘n lelike diepgat gegrawe, en hierdie wen van die Landers is verdere slegte nuus vir die Bulle.

    As Bulle more 5 punte kry, dan is hul op 36 en Landers op 39. In die 3 weke wat daarna volg, het Landers ‘n bye (4 punte) en dan tuiswedstryde teen Force en Lions. Minimum van 13 punte, wat hul op 52 gaan bring. Dalk kan die Force verras, maar nie sommer nie.

    Bulle daarenteen moet na hierdie naweek, Sharks weg en dan Cheetahs en Tahs tuis speel, nie een van die wedstryde is ‘maklik’ nie, en al wen hul al drie sonder bonuspunte, dan eindig hul na die volgende 3 weke op 48, vier agter Landers. Die groot heuwel om uit te klim word al groter, so sal hom maar wedstryd vat en hoop van die ander spanne begin nou te ‘choke’. 😉

    Sterkte aan die Reds en die Blues, mag die beste span wen.

    Bulle sal eenvoudig alles moet wen en veral die Sharks target

    OK, I got the Reds by a handful here but think I may be a bit light.

    Waarvoor is daardie nr.10 op Cooper se rug …. is dit hoeveel tattoos hy het ! Flippen, die manne paint hulself al meer.

    5: Sal wonderlik wees as die slapende Leeu kan wakker word en ‘n paar spanne KAN wen vir “ons vir jou SA!”

    @ superBul:
    Just had a look at some of your photo’s as I’ve got a bit of spare time. Amazing.

    Now that you’ve joined the ranks of the mass unemployed are you going to spend more time in the bush. (Or have I got it wrong again?)

    My wife’s the same. Hundreds of thousands of pictures spread across 2 pc’s and an external drive and she hasn’t got a clue how to file it or find anything.

    So deurmekaar soos ‘n poep in ‘n borrelbad!

    17@ superBul:
    Don’t ask silly questions.

    She’s from the Karoo! She phones me to ask me how to Google information.

    She just downloads everything from the camera onto the nearest hard drive then makes a half hearted attempt to sort it out which invariably causes more confusion than she started with.

    Not too IT minded, but she can cook a mean Skaap Boud.
