Score now a bit more reflective of WP’s dominance.

Laaste telling wat ek gehoor het was 22 – 16 vir Pumas.

Ja, maar dit was met so 20 min oor

78

Sharks 23 – 22

Close win.
79

Snoek on 22 July 2011 at 8:59 pm

GBS, what’s your take on the two big games tomorrow.

Test and Bulls/cheetahs.
80

Puma on 22 July 2011 at 9:01 pm

Sharks sneak in a win. 23/22

Was blogging on Sharksworld for updates and the site went blank. So had no idea until looking at SuperSport on tv for the score.

Well done Sharks. That was just far too close
81

Snoek on 22 July 2011 at 9:01 pm

Hey Puma, see you up there.

How are you buddy?

Sharks pulling a one point win, very close.
82

79@ Snoek:
Test: Weather should suit us but I would say it will be an Aussie win
Blue Bulls / Cheetahs: Cheetahs should take it rather comfortably, I’m afraid
83

grootblousmile on 22 July 2011 at 9:02 pm

I went for a Kwas win against the Lions in Kimberley too
84

grootblousmile on 22 July 2011 at 9:03 pm

80@ Puma:
Congrats… a sneaky late win… but a win nonetheless
85

Puma on 22 July 2011 at 9:03 pm

@ Snoek:78 – Howzit Snoek. Long time no talk boet.

Ja, we just sneaked in the win at the death it seems. We were 22/16 down with 14min to go the last I heard on Sharksworld then the site went down.

Just pleased we got that try in and converted it.

Tomorrow think Boks are up against it. But really have a good feeling we will do well. Whether we win or not.
86

Snoek on 22 July 2011 at 9:05 pm

Also said KWAS, and same with other two.
87

Puma on 22 July 2011 at 9:07 pm

@ grootblousmile:84 – Yip, that all that counts right now boeta. Was blogging on Sharksworld to keep up to date with the game. Then with 14min left the site went down. So had no clue. Had to wait for the score on tv SuperSport to see.

Now for the biggie tomorrow. Really hope our youngsters do well. Don’t mind if we lose just hope we play well and fight the fight out there.

See Bekker is out of the world cup with a ankle injury. Needs a op.

Now hope we look after Victor like gold. Without him we in the poo. No one in his class at 5.
88

Snoek on 22 July 2011 at 9:07 pm

Gonna be tough tomorrow for the boks, always is. And i hear muller is out as well. Will still shout my lungs out though.
89

grootblousmile on 22 July 2011 at 9:07 pm

I’m calling it a night… my Handbriekie is home and I think we should maybe spend some time together… catch up on TALKING…. hehehe

grootblousmile on 22 July 2011 at 9:09 pm

87@ Puma:
Yip… it’s bleak if we only have Hargreaves left after Matfield…would then rather play 2 No 4 locks, don’t rate Hargreaves at all.
