VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Goooooooooooooo Rugby!
Goaaaaaaaaats
Go the mighty Mountain Gods! Tremble Pussycats, tremble!
Ashwin with a lecture on pressure, its all too much
@ Just For Kicks:
Too much pressure or too much lecture or too much for you?
His lecturing
OK, back from the shops…
Stocks re-supplied….
Predictions for the match??
@ grootblousmile:
Pussycats to get an ass whooping of massive proportions!
Seems very unfair the the poor old Lions have had to graft away all season, only to meet the Goats who have a sudden boost from their Boks. Too Bad, I say!!!!
Kittens to miaauw for their mamas!
@ Just For Kicks:
Let them quake before the onslaught of the players from the holy mountain!
@ The_Young_Turk:Let them bow down before their masters, I say!
I’m relatively unsure about the outcome… but it does not phase me much who wins either.
My Bru says WP by 6…. but 2 weeks ago they were put to the slaugter here, without their Bokke.
se my vinnig voor Die game begin, as n speler soos in die Cheetah game die bal uitklap voor n aamvalende speler wat se die reel?
Daar praat ek van McLeod naby sy doellyn.
@ grootblousmile:
GBS@8
Hang af watter Leeuwens span vandag opdaag…..hulle is of moosa goed of erg sleg, amper soos die Franse.
@ Just For Kicks:
They should grovel in the dust at our feet!
15 @ superBul:
Hoffmann, nie McLeod nie.
Dit is strafbaar, verseker, met ‘n penalty…. was nie raakgesien nie, maar die Staat het buitendien ‘n 5m lineout gekry.
Players coming out…
Wie gaan choke?
@ grootblousmile:
14
think it will be WP
With the Boks back it is totally a different game.
A few years back the Bulls were (kry nie die Ingelse woord nie, gekastreer) because they used their Boks when they became available, now it is the excepted norm, rightfully so but no peep of a moan.
Game ON!
link not working yet, dammit!

ek dink weer dit was n strafdrie onder die pale? Maar ek is mos altyd extreme.
Ball bobbling around perilously after kick-off….
@ superBul:
It’s not allowed to moan at your superiors
23 @ superBul:
Dis net ‘n STRAFDRIE as daar GEEN twyfel is dat ‘n drie gedruk sou wees nie.
Pussy cats have come out like fighting tigers
Penalty Lions, about 50m on the angle… Taute going for posts
@ superBul:
You are not extreme. It’s not your fault that you were born with one eye.
@ The_Young_Turk:
We will see how the incident fans out in the coming days. Maybe a no show.
