Nice one Thompson.
This will be only the 4th run away game with a big margin. Bulls twice, against Cheetahs and the massacre against Reds. Stormers against Blues. Now Landers against Rebels.
Wonder if the Landers can make 50, with 6 minutes to go?

Tjeers eers almal.
Well that was a walk over!!!! Real rabble rousers
110 @ Puma:
Problem is… I don’t have that colour in my cupboard…..
Will borrow some lipstick and some blush… hahaha
Okay I pick up a point for the win. Probably the first points I picked up with the first game of the weekend this S15 season…
I guess my Bru pick was wrong…. flokkie toggie!
