so stamp jy meisiekind se bekkie vir hom bloed
Kwas 48 / 39
WP have to even the playing field by dishing out players to other provinces. Read : Blue Bulls Allstars!
Flok my met ‘n aartappel skyfie. Kwas score again and go 7 points ahead
Make that 9 points ahead.
or should we say pretoria, skuus Tshwane, has a rugby team competing in the CC called WP AllStars!
🙂
Kwas are milking these Cows now.
WP deserve to be in semi’s after losing Boks and all those injuries. BB have no excuses, they at least got some Boks back!
Neewat….
6 minutes left…
Ag no is this us out of the Currie Cup surely won’t have enough time to come back and win now. Come on Bulls!!
Good afternoon all.
Can’t for the life of me remember who I chose in Superbru, but WTF, common you Peacock blues!
Take these Bulls OU of the CC!
YeeeeHaaaaa
@ Scrumdown:
Maybe even OUT of the CC.
Seems I have PUMAITIS.
Komaan Griekwas!!!!!!!
Bulls 5m scrum… there is far too little time though
Sadly Bulls are deservedly out of the CC. Kwas deserve this victory.
Dean Greyling knocks…. overs cadovers
98@ Rugbyprof:
Not going to debate number of players lost to injury or World Cup, but one thing you can’t underestimate is the benefit of having coaching consistency.
TRYYYYYYYYYY Bulllllllllllllllsssssssssss!
Try Jacques Potgieter…. too late though
valid point Bullscot
Final Score: GWK Griquas 48 / 44 Vodacom Blue Bulls
Well, that’s the Bulls out of the running….
Even though I have a terrible dislike in them and as they are my ultimate rugby-nemeis (I even support the Brumbies vs them!), I do take my hat off and applaud the Tshwaniers for their fighting spirit in this year’s CC. They really looked attrocious at times, but played some brilliant rugby in the end. Better luck next year – there is some awesome talent already plus some very good buys (except JJ slaptjips!).
This is turning into a great rugby-weekend. 1st Wales moering those Cathoholics this morning and then the Pommies got battered. Hope WP can do the impossible, and then tomorrow the Boks. Maybe even an Argentine surprise? 🙂
Hmmm. I see I had Griquas by 13 on Superbru!
Miracles never cease to happen.
@ Scrumdown:102 – hahahahaha. It is catchy so watch it……..hehe.
Forgot about this game.
Jeez think I had Bulls to win this one on bru.
Think all my picks today have been wrong. All the wc picks and this one.
Let’s mosey on over to the Lions / WP thread…. mooooo
So looks like Bulls are out of the semi then. Or are they. Will have to check the log.
Ag no disappointing end but credit where its due well done Griquas, must have played very well to come from 8 points behind at some point in the 2nd half and end up winning by 4.
118 @ Puma:
Basically if the WP lose to the Lions and the Pumas somehow beat the WP the next week, only then do the Bulls have a chance
