@29 Howzit Kicker.
Wife passed through your valley an hour ago on her way to Gansbay, she says it is a scorcher in the Overberg today, wish I was down there at Seaview Bar watching the game, eish!!!
Sharks 15 / 3 Blues
Gonna, but the Blues can shoot themselves in the foot, they went to the Cheetahs school of gifting the ball on attack, except, they do it with more panache! Just pass it to a Shark player in space!!
Blues is reg om geslag te word, Sharks moet die druk hou.
32@ grootblousmile:Hows the head
41 @ Cheetah4eva:
Hellooooooooo Mr Nelspruit!
43 @ Just For Kicks:
Nice and fresh this morning… took 2 pain pills last night, worked a charm
Bigggggg mistake by Viljoen, bad, bad knock near his own line… Blues hard on attack
Sharks get a relieving penalty… and out of jail… great touchfinder
What’s with all these charged down kicks by the Sharks?
39@ Pietman:Hi Pietman, Yup, going to be a warm one today, the calm between storms – literally. They are talking about 35deg plus, highly unusual this time of year. Luckily I am working in the bowels of the cellar at the moment, pressing red wine, so lovely and cool!!!
Not straight into the lineout by Burden
Blues looking terrible….
Blues steal the Sharks lineout… but then knock as they take it wide
Blues a miss-firing team of star players….
Riaan Viljoen kicks directly into touch… taken back into their 22… another bad mistake by him
Eish, altwee spanne kyk wie die slegste kan speel.
Knock by Nonu as the line beckones
55 @ bdb:
Hello BiDiBiDi.
Ja, swak spel beide kante
Stanley#13 looks like ‘Smoking Joe’ Stanley, legendary Aucland (Ponsoby club) All Black centre of the 70’s, must be his grandson?
wat gaan aan met Riaan Viljoen…..good grief!!!
Tighthead by the Blues… oi vei!
