Rebels very indecisive….

Driven back by the Stormers…. and the Stormers get a penalty on top of it all

Howzit GBS all doing good thanks, hope same on your side. Bonzai is sleeping in pram outside enjoying the fresh air 🙂 I will really have to get on the Bulls site and order some Blue Bull gear for the wee ones. Talking of supporters gear do you know where I can get hold on the Boks 7’s jersey I have liked since first saw it at start of season but not been able to find a site thats selling.

Looking good for Stormers, hopefully that try kick starts better things for Habana

Luckily for the Stormers it does not look like Earl Rose will be needed in this game
44

grootblousmile on 3 June 2011 at 12:15 pm

Almost intercepted by Habana… in stead he obliges with the now usual knock

43@ grootblousmile:
Watch him come on early in the second half, have an absolute blinder and cement his place in the WC squad.

Irony?

grootblousmile on 3 June 2011 at 12:18 pm

I picked the Stormers by 19 on Bru…. it’s now already 13… think I was too conservative!
55

Bullscot on 3 June 2011 at 12:27 pm

49@ Scrumdown:
Thanks Scrumdown will check them out sometime then, maybe if they have the old ones now then this seasons one will come on sale in few months time. Hope they don’t charge a fortune to ship out this side.

The_Young_Turk on 3 June 2011 at 12:31 pm

Will Stormpoppies be able to score 3 tries in one half?? That is the big mountain they will have to overcome.
57

grootblousmile on 3 June 2011 at 12:34 pm

Anybody have an Mp3 of the song by Amanda, The Story (I was made for you)?

I am desperately looking for the song…. it is simply awesome!

I know it was sung by Brandi Carlile as well… that one will do fine as well.

Stompies have to be sure to score first or else the Rubbles tails will be up!
