no try
Cheetahs looking ominous now
I wish someone would take me for sundowners and Dinner, then I wouldn’t be forced to sit and watch this sh1t Lions performance.
143@ Just For Kicks:
Huh? Was just saying………that I have indulged in most of them. Look forward to sharing a few you okes.
153@ Scrumdown:I really think a lot of it is a mind thing with the Lions, they are so nearly there in some games, then just seem to lose the plot in others. And they are going that way again now. Its as if, as soon as they are on the back foot, they have no confidence in themselves, and crumble
154@ Loosehead:Good
nice run Benji!!
155@ Just For Kicks:Maybe they just need a small change, a la Gary Kirsten management style to get the confidence.
Wie de flok skreeu soos n maer farking fark daar langs die veld…..verdomde vroumens
155@ Just For Kicks:
Yeah, so maybe 2 years out of Super Rugby would give them time to get their mental approach sorted out.
156@ Just For Kicks: do you have a date in mind?
Cummon Cheetahs….we need that 4 try BP
The Lions definitely have the ability, that last phase, before they lost the ball showed it
Another turn over. Bliksem donner.
En al die tyd het ek gedink ‘n speler moet sy eie gewig ondersteun by die losskrums, Lawrence meen dit is nie nodig nie.
161@ Loosehead:Waiting to find out when Pietman is here, then we can set something up
160@ Scrumdown:No, I don’t believe that
TRY? Coetzee in the corner. TMO. Looks out to me.
Out. No try.
Try looks good to me
Jammer Leeus, ook nie bietjie geluk nie.
167@ Just For Kicks:
There are no rights to participate.
Everyone said that the Rebels would never make an impact, but they seem to play better Rugger than the Lions most weeks.
Try not given.
Helloooooooooo
You guys behaved yourselves??
Mu ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Sjoe! No try.
Looks like a good match
Ok, try to Lions.
Damn, my Bru on this one not so lekker.. I picked the Staat but only by 9
Mooi Leeus, aanhouer wen. Goeie drie, Bondesio maak ‘n verskil.
176@ grootblousmile: ja it has been fun.
