Somehow i believe the Blues will come back from this humiliating season. They had hard words and a lot of mental coaching this week. The best way to show they are still a proud team is by beating the front runners, i picked them for this game. I know it is a gamble but lets see if my gut feeling is right or just a call to go to the loo.
@ superBul:
Naah, I can’t see them winning this. They will probably beat the Rebels and The Lions.
Hellooooooooooooooooo
@ grootblousmile:
O, jy is darem wakker, ek het jou al vroegdag ge-mail.
Jy al ge-pick?
Ek het Landers met 5 vir hierdie een.
Bekhuis en Tietjens, seker ‘Dutchies’…..ek wonder of die Kiwi’s weet wat dit in Hollands beken, hehehehehe!
4 @ Pietman:
Hello Pieta, ja jou teruggemail ook.
Was dit nie vir jou mails nie, het ek nie Bru gepick nie!
Players out on the pitch
@ grootblousmile:
Ek het al Dinsdag ge-pick.
Hoop alle SA spanne wen vandag!
What are the odes and silence for?
Morning all, just closing up cellar – work done for the day, and off home to watch both matches. See you all in a bit
OK, my Bru pick for this one was easy, Landers by 11
Flok, Pieta and Kickers are having weekend already… and here I am working like a galley slave inbetween the rugby!
Game ON!
9 @ Pietman:
Also wondered… seems like it was the Anzac war commemmoration stuff
12@ grootblousmile: wine makers and brothel keepers must have an easy life hey?
Try Hadleigh Parkes for the Blues out wide right.
Highlanders mistake led to it
Blues 5 / Highlanders
15 @ Loosehead:
Yip… they have an easy life… must be good to be so comfortable…. hehehe
I backed the Clan, so expect the Blues to win.
@ grootblousmile:
@12
Ek werk more! Nog nie gewoond aan hierdie mense se naweke nie, sommer n klomp tos man.
Maar nouja, dis hulle land en geloof….
Come on people… some speed blogging required… don’t just sit back, flok!
Must say the Landers are looking shaky while the Blues suddenly look composed…
Fark, strange competition, this!
@ grootblousmile:
Sonskyn, rugby, braaivleis en Chevrolet! Met n ligte Kaapse witwyntjie soos Klipdrif daarby……!
@ grootblousmile:
Jy en Loosie moes nie van werk gepraat het nie….RT’s voel nou almal skuldig en skaam om te blog.
If one looks purely at the names on the Team Sheets, Blues should win… and this week they had Graham Henry helping..
Tryyyyyyyyy Landers in the right hand corner, Shaun Treeby!
Pragtige drie, kyk daai binne-aangee!
Landers 7 / 5 Blues
Landers suddenly spring to light…
Penalty Landers, right in front
Landers 10 / 5 Blues
Daai skiewie Ranger is eintlik n kuk speler, gee baie strafskoppe weg.
