    Your Cheetahs must have played well this morning boeta. Looks like a good game to have got up early for. Going to watch the 2nd half now.

    Good to hear you having good weather mate. Normally this time of year it can be still really cold and wet there.

    Here we have had such dry and hot weather, but this morning it is raining so kinda nice for a change.

    Pity you going to miss the big game tonight.

    Staat knock again, 10m out

    Fark, these crucial knocks and turn-overs a couple of metres out have farked them over this game!

    92@ Just For Kicks:
    Know its a bit off topic here but thought that your missus would be please to hear that Glasgow thumped Cardiff last night in the Pro 12 with a bonus point for 4 tries 31-3 win in Glasgow! At the start of the game was concerned Cardiff would be too strong but had only seen the starting lineup and not benches, Glasgow brought Moray Low, Barclay, Ruaridh Jackson and Richie Grey off the bench at stages in the game – not shabby hey – and were way too strong, Cardiff were way below what I expected from them their stars in the backs Sweeny, Roberts, Cuthbert and Halfpenny were just shut out of the game. All round a really nice performance by Glasgow, only downers nasty leg injury to Graeme Morrison and Barclay got stretchered off not sure what for but it looked serious, Roberts also went off with what looks like a bad knee injury I think. Anyway enjoy the game at Newlands later… but not too much GO BULLLS!

    Why didn’t Van Zyk pass, guaranteed try gone a-begging

  • 107

    Damn! Just keep attacking Cheetahs!

  • 108

    Piet van Zyl off injured… Matewis takes over at scrummie.

    Sorry, but that might just lose the Staat the game!

  • 109

    92@ Bullscot:Nice uplifting stuff, then you sneak in the killer blow with your Bulls comment – just joking. Great to see the Scots get something right after the 6N debacle – they have the talent, thats for sure, just wish they could make the step up.

    110@ Bullscot:
