Hosea Gear is a superb wing
Stronggggg Blues scrum and they EARN a scrum penalty.. kickable
60@ Pietman: What does the ‘almost’, at those prices, I want to get in on the act!!!
Tony Woodcock lyk vir my bietjie klein vir ‘n stut, wonder of hy baie gewig verloor het ?
Anscombe’s not superhuman after all!
Tony Houtvoël en Charlie Faumuina really got the better of the Landers props there.
Kick missed to the left.
Lemoenetyd
Did Anscombe say “fark”?
Tight game, as I initially expected it to be….for a moment there though I thought the Landers would run away with it.

@63
Talk to you soon out there in your valley!
Btw, terrible Shark attack on the other side of your place, near Wemmershoek river mouth (Kogelbaai), place crawling with great whites all of a sudden, 50 meters from the beach….did you see today’s papers/video?
69 @ Pietman:
Victim of the Shark attack is BonzaiGBS’s 2nd Cousin…. David Lillienfeld
2Nd Half ON!
@ grootblousmile:
Aag no man!
69@ Pietman:
70@ grootblousmile:
Saw it, terrible. Convinced it’s all that chumming. I dived all these waters 20 years ago, day in and day out – was a scuba instructor, and we never had the same problems back then
Ciao a tutti and also bidibi
Sal baie goed vir SA wees as Blues in die tweede helfte van die reeks vorm kry, dit kan die NZ konferensie deur mekaar krap en Blues speel ook nog Aussie spanne. SA se topspanne het hul klaar gespeel.
Lyk na ‘n strafskop wedstryd, wonder wie gaan die laaste strafskop kry ?
@ The_Young_Turk:Hows it hanging?
74: Hallo YT, gaan ons saam die Stormers ondersteun teen die Aussies ?
Blues 20 / 19 Landers
78: pragtige telling daardie, laat my terugdink aan die S14 finaal in 2007.
Morning all looks like a very close game here…
@ Just For Kicks:
just a little to the left
@ bdb:
Only us unbiased saffers
72 @ Pietman:
73 @ Just For Kicks:
The Lillianfeld’s are “Aangetroude Familie” of CJ Langenhoven
My Ex’s granny, was a Lillianfeld, her mother married CJ Langenhoven.
Landers slot a penalty, then the Blues score through Ranger
Went for Landers on bru, but wouldn’t mind if Blues pull this one off. Would be better for the top saffer teams if Landers and Chiefs can lose some games.
Blues 27 / Landers 22
Ranger just made me swallow my words…but I am still unhappy with him after that tackle on Basson at Loftus.
@ grootblousmile:
@82 Well, I never! Interesting.
@ grootblousmile:
No wonder she’s now your ex
Highlanders going backwards.
Ranger van sy voete af en Andre P. Brink hou die bal vas, wie moet jy straf ?
