Hellooooooooooooooo
Teams coming out
Hello RT’s.
@ grootblousmile:
Jisja bruvva, jy het my gisteraand gevra oor die Bulle? Ek het pas die wedstryd gekyk, ek dink die Bulle het die beste voorry in die kompetisie, Dean Greyling en Chili het tans nie hulle hul gelyke nie. En agterlangs was Meisiekind n yster, hy gaan weer Springbok speel, anker in die middeveld.
Game ON!

Hello Sultan
Penalty Chiefs and Aaron Cruden slots it
Chiefs 3 / 0 Crusaders
Is there abetter breakfast than last nights curry,warmed up, and served on toast?
Crusaders kicker, Blyendaal, misses a long range penalty
Another easier Saders penalty… Blyendaal slots it
Chiefs 3 / 3 Crusaders
Kiwis whineing about their own ref?
They are playing in Napier, I only noticed it now. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Napier in SA(between Stanford and Bredasdorp), do yourself a favour……also named after Sir George Napier, govn genl in both SA and NZ. The city hall, church and hotel are replicas of those in Napier, NZ.
And be sure to treat yourself to a Birkenhead Lager, the local beer at the pub in main street at the end of town, one of favourite watering holes back home.
10 @ Loosehead:
Hello,
Sounds good!
I’m having coffee and chowing on some lekker Cabannossi.
14 @ Pietman:
Very interesting, Pieta!
Chiefs scrum demolishes the Saders scrum and they get the turnover scrum! Wow!
So moet ‘n Crusader skrum kak.
Penalty Chiefs, Cruden misses to the right.
Chiefs looking good, Saders looking decidedly average.
Little knock by the Chiefs, 10m out…. eishhh
Saders gets a penalty, but their scrum was on the backfoot again
Chiefs steal a Saders lineout
@ Loosehead:
Nope, the best for sure, with a few slices of fresh tomato and a dash of Ms Balls. Last night’s cold braaivleis and roosterbrood a close second though…..washed down with the first beer of the day!
Moralvictory to the Chiefs scrum.
22@ Pietman: It is a little early for the first beer of the day here in Slaapstad.
Chiefs on attack again!
Damn, I picked the Saders to win on Bru…. hehehehe
Chiefs penalty, very kickable.
@ grootblousmile:
Handbriekie sal dit geniet in Napier, talle ou plaaswinkeltjies ens, pragtige deel van ons land, die Overberg. Julle moet eendag n draai daar gaan gooi, so 60 km vanaf Gansbaai. Corne Uys (senter van die Cheetahs) kom daarvandaan.
Cruden misses again!
This might cost them!
Penalty Chiefs, against Dagg for a shoulder charge.
This time Cruden slots it.
Chiefs 6 / 3 Crusaders
26 @ Pietman:
Sal so moet maak!
@ grootblousmile:
Told you, watch out for Chiefs this year…..the only pack who can match the Bulls and Landers this year, imo.
