@ Just For Kicks:
Nice Pizza last night? 😉
Hey, the Stompies messed up my supaBru!!
269@ Puma:
meant – truely.
Lions penalty, quick tap… then a forward pass, Bulls scrum.
Lions have butchered everything tonight, someone give them a slab of meat, please
@ Puma:
Pumes, it has been weeks since I talked to you, how are you doin’ ? 😉
@ Loosehead:
Wragtag? Ken nie…..n Nigeriese Blou Bul, sal dit graag wil sien.
No, another Lions penalty, on the 5.
Now there’s a Bulls scrum….
Hold them Bulls, my Bru marging is good.
262@ Loosehead:
Bwaaahaaaa.
Lions refuse to try for the points on offer. They are adamant they don’t want the bonus point.
272@ Blue Bird:See so many of the damn things, can’t face them too often any more!!!! I cooked over 60, though!
276@ Blue Bird:
Very well and you BB? How did your Argus go?
Good Bulls scrum and a good touchfinder… time is up!
@ Just For Kicks:
Kak kicker, sorry i have not read the posts, is Morne wearing the boots on the wrong foot or is someone else kicking tonight?
Hooter has gone… the Lions crowd leaving in droves
269@ Puma:On form, I’d like to see Pieterson at 15
@ Blue Bird:
That’s French, darling. i am an italian stallion
Bulle moet Fouche speel teen Brumbies, laat ou Morne bietjie rus en dink oor sy spel.
@ Pietman: Vra vir GBS hy is blybaar moerse groot.
Lions on atttak but going nowhere…
@ Just For Kicks:
Good heavens…well done. 60 wow
The view should make the evening unforgettable though.
Knock…. game over!
Heeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaa
285@ Blue Bird:I think you’ve nailed it on the head, he forgot his boots at home, and all he’s got is his pink ballet shoes
14 diff…close, I had them by 15.
Well played Lions, very well played there at the end.
Final Score: Vodacom Bulls 32 / 18 MTN Lions
Daniel Adongo. Maar ek dink hy is ‘n sewes man, nie 15 man nie, hy haal nie eers die Bulle se VC span nie.
I am afraid, I don’t think the Bulls played that well tonight, yes, they did the hard yards, but it wasn’t a commanding performance
@ Pietman:
I had them by 13, so we shouldn’t be unhappy.
@ Puma:
Puma, last year I breezed the Argus, this year ‘they’ took the temperature up to 40 degrees inplaces….and being a Pommie who has trained in ski gloves and about 8 layers the heat was a bit ‘hot’!!
However I overtook Helen Zille on the Bishopscourt Hill and beat Victor Matifeld!! Hehehehhheh
@ Just For Kicks:
Not well at all, Bulls always scraping through at the death,tough days ahead on tour, me thinks.
