233@ Just For Kicks:
For sure. Remember this tourney was only 4 months long. We are in week 7 and still have another 4 months of SuperRugby. Then the tests between that and after. Crazy. Players are gonna face burnout much younger with all this rugby played. We need much bigger squads and plenty rotation. Players will have to be managed far better than they are.
Where is the Nigerean that signed fot the Bulls?
Penalty Lions, on halfay, they kick for touch
Evening Gents
All the internet feeds are down. Just come back on!
Kaptein Baardman subbed too

Lions scrum, inside the Bulls 22.

Owen is the scrum specialist, he says that CJ is a big tighthead, yet CJ is playing loosehead.
Idiot!
@ The_Young_Turk:

259 @ Pietman:
Yip, Halfway line… outside press box benches… prime spot!
256@ Blue Bird:Too cocky tonight, they thought it was going to be too easy. Oh yes, and they have a kak kicker!!!
@ Pietman: Dis hy daai.
Less than 3 minutes to go!
CJ having a stormer of a game! Bulls still in the pickle here….they miss Stander.
225@ Just For Kicks:
Goosen at 10 and Lambie at 15. Need both those two turely gifted players to be in the team. Together with Hougie at 9 Fransie at 12 not sure who at 13 yet. 11 Habs 14 JPP. De Jongh or Whitehead at 13
Boks are going be cooking hot this year. If we select the best players. We are covered and really more than covered in every position. Only thing that could cost us is injuries that will happen in this tourney have no doubt about it.
Eben at 4. Heck he is sublime. What a super, super talent he is?
Lions probably deserve the bonus point because the Bulls have gone too sleep.
