AAAAGH fark the farkin yellow killed the Pumas off, hell this ended a great contest, the Cheetahs were outplayed untill this bloody fool decided to pull his CARD. Why do refs feel they MUST show a yellow to be the MAN?
Surely i picked the State but in all honesty the smaller teams always get the stick, whether it is CC or WC , just ask a Samoan.
Currie Cup play offs still wide open.
A little birdie has told me that Katrkilis is not 100% fit for tomorrows game but that the WP brains trust insisted he must play!
Lions need a win to try and secure a home semi. Let’s hope the youngster breaks down. Hehehehe.
I picked the Lions for a win on Bru… but when I do they always lose…. flok!
… Just as if they want to make my Bru kak on purpose…
Now for the vanishing act on RT, once the game is over , shoosh all gone.
Hope we can get some to stay after the Sunday Boks game, wishful thinking???
The World Cup games for the weekend are already scheduled…. see you in the morning!
Goodnight all. I’m going to hit the sack. Another long day awaits this member of the working class tomorrow, and with the Rugby as well, I need the rest.
Cheers all.
Go the Oirish and English. Smash those Taffy bastids and garlic eating Frogs!
OK let me greet, i am dead tired after a hard day
Flok, ek is bly ek is nie die enigste ene wat moer hard werk nie…. dit laat my sommer grootblousmile….
Hahaha
Looks like this was a close game pity the Pumas didn’t win. I read its make or break Saturday for us Bulls today, don’t know if will have a chance to get on here later so will say early on GO BULLS!
