Exactly MY Bru margin!
well done rudi
i had tahs by 18
. . . just a depressing, nothing second half of rugby by the Waratahs. They are a side going nowhere unless they learn to apply themselves for the entire 80 minutes. I fear a shark attack next week.
I thought the Lions were a little one dimensional. Their tight game is their only real strength. They did their best.
That match has driven me to drink, a nice bottle of Aus red in fact. I’m outta here. Night all.

The 80m is a matter of conjecture. I was told from a VERY RELIABLE source that the actual cash amount received thus far is less than 20% of that, and that the deal was FAR from the best available on the table but was done because it was “right” in terms of BEE / empowerment etc.
The best deal on offer was actually from a member of the Exco who is a wealthy businessman but it was rejected by de Klerk and Reyneke.
As I said, my source is VERY reliable.
Subsequently the deal done has been deemed by SARU to be unconstitutional.
Back into 3rd place. Yeeeeehaaaa

Interesting indeed. The Lions union will never amount to anything with the top structure they have.
Should’ve listened to Oom Louis back in the nineties and built the monster in Midrand he wanted.
Flip, it’s over 15 degrees in London and everyone at the 7’s has taken their shirts off.
On the other hand (Darren), the Lions have lost their shirts. Figuratively and literally.
I think it’s time for a wee bit of the Captain’s nectar and go clean the skoot. Or maybe just watch the golf and get totally sloshed.
Torn between the Heineken Cup final and Sharks / Bulls tonight. Go Bulls and Northampton.
Viva die skuimkop!!!
Englan – USA 14 all at halftime in the sevens.
Cheers for a while all.
Schwartzel 1 up agaionst Fisher on the 18th with b oth having hit gr8 seconds to the par 5. Fisher has about 10 feet for eagle and Schwartzel about 6.
Vark why can’t I hit the goon like that?
130@ KWAGGA ROBERTSE:
Kaptein Skuim!
Fark, my spot-on result has not even moved me up ONE spot on R-T’s pool!
Schwartzel keeps the SA flag flying at the World Matchplay beating Ross Fisher 1 up, with the 18th halved with eagle 3’s.
