Jy gaan dit mos nou nie regkry om jou view op ons af te forseer nie, SuperBees.
Jy weet hoe ons voel, ons weet hoe jy voel….
Dis mos nou maar so!

@ grootblousmile:
nou moet ek maar my bek hou oor die storie? Magtie man julle gaan so aan oor BduP mens sou sweer hy kan man aleen SA red.
Try Lloyd Burns
@ superBul:
The point is “when is the right time to go”! The older players don’t suddenly become useless, they steadily just don’t produce their best form as regularly. There is occasionally flashes of brilliance but those occur less and less. JS may even retain the WC with this Bok team. He is experienced enough to mask his weaknesses and good enough to put in a workmanlike performance.
This is not an argument that anyone can win. It’s based on feelings and sentiment. You are not yet ready to let go, while most of us already have.
Time to get moving lekker dag almal
Wales 74 / 7

Se my net het jy FP en GB so gesien soos ek daar in #85 gese het?
97 @ superBul:
Wie gaan aan en aan?
Jy beskuldig ons van haat…. kyk bietjie in die spieël.
@ superBul:
I for one respect your right to voice your opinion. Just pointing out that it’s mainly based on sentiment.
End it now! My Bru needs it. Shit Whales scores.
Try to Alun Wyn Jones… converted
Wales 81 / 7
Game over
Final Score: Wales 81 / 7 Namibia
@ The_Young_Turk:
Funny enough i was never really a JS man. But this guy wont cost us games by playing bad, he will walk into many International teams right now. Funny enough i am a Chillieboy man.

you are right , only time will tell, i will drop my argument for now. Maybe prepare for some egg eating.
Pool D, our Pool… Bokke will have to get a win against Samoa to end tops….. if they lose they could be going home….
Both Samoa and Wales could go to 15 Log points, with Bokke still on 14 at the moment.
Wales will play Fiji and the Bokke play Samoa in the last 2 Pool Matches of this Pool.
Wales should get a full 5 Log points from the Fiji game.
Wales have set a team record for points scored (81) in a Rugby World Cup match and have also scored their record number of tries (12) in a Rugby World Cup match
