@ Just For Kicks:
LOLZ…..amazing tries!!!! (no< didn't actually fall for it, but wouldn't have mind) 🙂
2Nd Half ON!
@ Just For Kicks:
Smiles must be very busy. i wonder what he’s doing and who he is doing it with
Bulls immediately on attack
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy CJ Stander!
Visionnnnnnnn, Great work by the Bulls
I fear this could be the opening of the floodgates
Nice work by Ndugane! One more needed.
Bulls 25 / 10 Lions
That was the bonus point try, by the way
Bulls showing class……go boys!!!!
@ Just For Kicks:
Don’t fear the floodgates, especially when you’re on the safe side…
Morne skop nie goed nie, sal maar met driee moet wen.
Bulls by 30.
153@ The_Young_Turk:He’s been sucking on a camel, apparently!
161 @ bdb:
3 Van die driee was in die regterhoekie… moeilike skoppe gewees
Blaas die eindfluitjie, dis presies op my pick nou!!!!
Howzit RT’s? Just got in, missed all the action so far, but got the Stormers’ pick spot on.
163 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, I call them all Kameeltjie…. hehehehe
161@ bdb: If Morne isn’t kicking well, who is the Bulls kicker?
@ grootblousmile:
Already? In that case, the Lions can pack up and go home now.
Bad Bulls knock, on attack
Eish! Just back from the binkel shop, and the poor cubs are taking a pasting! Harsh when you try to get up, from injuries, and you just get hammered mercilessly!
That said, the Lions season is probably shot to smithereens, so best let the Bully Boys pick up the points! Lions can smash all the Kiwi, and Aus teams!
@ grootblousmile:
Clever, clever
A lion injured right here in front of us… can’t see who….
Stretcher cart on
Spies, hou die manne bymekaar, moenie nou staan en oorgerus raak nie. Bly by die strukture en basics.
Kirchner should cut his hair, perhaps then it wouldn’t get in his eyes, and he might catch the ball. Either that, or go and live in Australia, and we don’t want that!
163@ Just For Kicks: GBS is at The Bronx?
@ Pietman:
Ciao peterman, see you’ve gone past me again. Just can’t keep you blue creatures down, it seems.
172@ grootblousmile:Greef
Stefan Greeff apparently the injured oke.
Sitting here next to a chap from SuperSport…
175@ Loosehead:Yup, and his breath is going to smell!
167: Dean Greyling, maar hy is ook af.
Nee jong, Bulle dink MS gaan nooit seerkry nie. Bulle kort nog ‘n agterspeler in die begin 15 wat goed pale toe kan skop. Stormers het Grant, JP en Duvenhage.
Zane sal seker pale toe skop as dit moet.
