SuperBees, wat is jou gedagtenis oor die Ierland / Wallis game more?
Flok, die poephols by XSInet (@lantic) het nou nog nie hulle flippen mail servers aan die gang nie….
Good evening old regulars.
Pumas giving the staat a torrid time I see. This could really screw Superbru if they can hold on.
15 Minutes of play left…
63 @ Scrumdown:
Hello,
My Currie Cup Bru is screwed anyway… hehehe
The Pumas can really get the “big” teams on the back foot if they lull their opposition into playing thr wrong type of game.
Penalty Staat…. offside
65@ grootblousmile:
Had to rush to site in Orkney and only got back at 19h00. I’m absolutely knackerred. Wprking far too hard lately.
Ciao a tutti. Why are the Pumas moering the Cheaters???
Staat only 6 points behind…. and over the line, but held up
What odds another draw for the FS? 3rd one this season if they do.
Ek like die Wallis voorry hulle is wild
Penalty Staat again… offiside by the Pumas, 5m out
Pumas defending like Trojans. Can they hold out? Doubt it.
Penalty staat again, they tap
Pumas are going to by Carded… Card for the lock Van der Walt
Ashley Johnson over… held up
Pumas down to 14 till the end of the game. Staat must surely take it now.
Old Jimmy Stonehouse is a varking shrewd coach. Bringing on loosies for front rankers due to uncontested scrums.
al het ek lankal gese ek haat geel kaarte en laaaanlaas gemoan was die een nou wragtie onnodig
Staat forward pass and a knock…
Pumas breathe a bit…. only a bit

Staat attack again… 20m out
Try Sias Ebersohn… difficult conversion to come
Gee what a kick from the youngster.
Can the Pumas come back with 14 men? Unlikely.
Staat 24 / 23
Good Cheetahs, but sadly the Pumas was hurt badly by that yellow card. Fark they did not deserve it
2 Minutes left
Pumas have to attack from deep… and they do… but they knock
Less than a minute left
Staat attack, looks like they want the 4th try
