Hello, have not been able to be on Rugby-Talk for 2 DAYS!
Longest absense for me conce inception, I think!
Will go finetune a few Articles just now… update some more.. then back here!
Ja, thought you’d left us – headed off to some hippie happening on the hill!
Players out on the pitch
2 @ Just For Kicks:
Was just freegin busy… from sparrow-fart to the small hours every day… eyes feel like they belong to someone else!
Game ON!
Was in a bit of doubt who to pick for this one… initial thought was Landers… then saw the injury situation PLUS the fact that the Rebels got 2 stars back (Beale & O’Connor).
So picked the Rebels by 5 eventually….
Still undecided though, flok!
Hello almal.
Maak ek dit net, flippit……… was vasgevang in een moosa stofstorm oppad terug na n wegweek.
@ grootblousmile:
Sien jou picks is darem in…..jou ge-mail n uur gelede.
@ grootblousmile:
Thought you ran away in shame after Ashley made so much “gat” of the Bull-erinas!
O’Connor going for goal…. it’s over
Rebels 3 / 0 Landers
7 @ Pietman:
Wou eintlik al gisterannd gepick het, maar toe werk ek nog kliphard tot na middernag…
Wou toe 06:00 opstaan vanoggend, maar verslaap toe tot hier rondom 07:00….
Was ook maar net-net in tyd om te pick jong!
8 @ The_Young_Turk:
Saw nothing, will go have a look later what he babbled about….
Penalty again to the Rebels… kickable again too!
O’Connor makes it!
Rebels 6 / 0 Landers
Went with the Landers by 11. Reckon they should be too strong against the Rubbles at home… or so I hope.
Town in the background looks a bit like Gansbaai, rugby pavilion too…
Now a kickable penalty to the Landers… and they will go for goal
Missed
Handbags… well almost!
Rebels Shaun Treeby cops a yellow for a tip-tackle… and there’s a White card referral too
Smith misses this time…
Thank goodness Rubbles have had a player sent off. It was looking tough to win this game against 15 Rubbles.
Bit of a nothing game this, poor rugby, Beale looking dangerous. But Landers should take this one.
Rubbles 14 still more than a match for the landers 15
Much better by Rebels now.
Rebels hard on attack
Morning everyone.
Jeez once again I have picked damn well wrong on bru. Best thing for me is to pick the opposite to who I think will win. Seems to be that way…hahaha.
Come on Landers… lol.
Penalty Rebels, easy one… O’Connor slots it.
Rebels 9 / 0 Landers
25 @ Puma:
Hello Oubaas Rickety Knees!
Landers steal the Rebels lineout… hard on attack…. then a knock
@ Puma:
Howzit!
No worries, Landers will win this easily.
Try Ben Smith for the Landers
