@ grootblousmile:
Vogel en Jan Schlebusch (sy pa was Alwyn, op n stadium Staatspresident gewees na Viljoen, dink ek) was soms die Vrystaatse senterpaar in die middel-sewentigerjare, die dag toe Pierre Spies die wendrie gedruk het in die CC, was dit juis hulle op senter as ek reg onthou.
It is as if these 2 sides are tentative and just cannot get going….
nee kyk hierdie Samoane is hard die Bokke gaan weet hulle is in n wedstryd teen hulle

Samoa penalty, a relieving one, they don’t manage to kick it out.

Die wedstryd was vir my teleurstelent glad nie soos ek Fiji verwag het nie
