    The mighty god of RT superbru, also known as Tapper, has been having a bad week, by his standards, so far. He’s got the Landers to win here by 11. Are we witnessing the end of the Tapper era or will he make an astonishing come back???

    Jake looks like he’s done some good work with the Brumbies

    Penalty Brumbies, just before halftime… Lealiifano going for posts

    @ Blouste,

    Soms moet jy jou fights mooi pick. Makliker om teen die Rebels te druk, van net binne jou helfte, as om vanaf jou doel lyn teen die Crusaders te gaan druk. Maar valid point. Net so vinnig uitgewerk, as ons die punte vir a loslooitjie inreken, dan het die bonus punt, in effek beteken die Cheetahs skyf op na 11, in plaas van 13!

    En belangriker nog, kan hulle bo die leeus op die log wees, solank die leeus nie onverwags wen nie. selfs een punt sal nie die leeus dan bo die Cheetahs hou nie. Sorry tjom, ek weet almal sou ook graag wou hê die Cheetahs moes hol, en ek ook, maar ons fight hier vir ons survival!!

    Brumbies get 3 back to lead by 7 at halftime

  • 67

    @ Cheetah4eva:You’re quite right, the bonus point was important, but wish, after one of the best games of rugby this season so far, it was such an anti-climax.

  • 68

    @ Cheetah4eva:
    Don’t pay attention to these Bulls supporters mate. They won’t concede. Cheatahs did the wise thing. You know it and the log knows it and fark these Bluenuts. The Kiwi commentators were disappointed because they were desperately hoping for a Saders intercept try to get the bonus.

    @ Just For Kicks:wish=eish

  • 70

    Mmmm… is this the Cheetahs game thread???

    Just wondering….

  • 71

    @ Cheetah4eva:

    Aag boet, all spilled milk now.

    In any case you guys are far away from ending last if you can keep up this level of play.
    Well done !!!

    There are some very pretty dancing girls at the HK7’s

  • 73

    In the meantime, the big question is, how much is the mighty Blue Bovines going to klap the pathetic Reds by? Haven’t made my pick yet. Not sure if I should go big for the Pink Bulls or if they are just going to scrape it???

    @ The_Young_Turk:

    Hey, wie het jou hok geskud ? 🙂

  • 75

    Lol, GBS, we are having a nice debate here, seeing as you moved the thread, before we could straighten the Bulls clan! Not saying you okes are “skeef” mind! Just we haven’t finished debating yet!

    A sparkling run would hav ebeen nice to see, and commendable, but I would have been super pissed off, if it cost us a log point!

  • 76

    Brumbies playing a whole lot better this year under Jake.

  • 77

    @ Blouste:
    A stampede of Blue Bulls maybe…

  • 78

    68/73: Bulle is die underdogs, maar dankie vir julle ondersteuning, onthou, SA eerste !

  • 79

    @ The_Young_Turk:

    At least you know we are going to win, your foundation is right…

  • 80

    I’m apprehensive of later this afternoon… nervous

  • 81

    Nah! Bulle should win pretty handsomely, even if they are “rebuilding” lol. Bulls by 13! Anything less and they should be tarred and feathered!

    lets hope it doesn’t come to a run in the last minute hey! Whistling

  • 82

    74: lyk my hulle vergeet gou van daardie pakslae so paar weke terug. 😉

  • 83

    Bulls are going to slaughter the Reds today, mark my words – You remember that saying – “red rag to a bull”?…..

  • 85

    @ Blouste:
    My Bloed is reenboog blou Wink

  • 86

    81: nee wat, ons gaan soos die Cheetahs net speel vir een logpunt, die res is ‘n bonus.

  • 87

    Ok you guys have conviced me, I’m going with the Bulls by 19!

  • 88

    I’ve got the Bulls by 18, and think I may have been a tad light!!!

  • 89

    @ The_Young_Turk:
    convinced
