@ grootblousmile:Did you see BB’s comment – Percy Montgomery to make a comeback in Japanese rugby. Now I thought Victors was bad enough, But Percy???? Hahaha
Kickers… everybody else is either still sleeping or getting ready for church… and only us 2 sinners sitting here watching the rugby… hehehehe
31 @ Just For Kicks:
I saw that, yes…
Percy has never been known for having a lot of brains.
I’ve got the Crusaders by 16 on this one. Whens Sir Lancelot the parrot coming on, I need the points?
….although, he’s a doctor now!
I see Butch James copped a 4-week ban… he should just bloody retire
35 @ Just For Kicks:
Fark, I almost thought you said Percy was a DOCTOR now… I wanted to say… IM-FARKING-POSSIBLE… hehehe
35@ grootblousmile:This is church – for me, anyway. It’s a religion in my household!
38 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, church for me too… hahaha
I see Goosen is injured… hope he is OK!
Brain-farts and Butch James are synonymous, He has never learnt his entire career, and agree, should just go to Japan – I mean retire, sorry
Tahs 5m scrum…
They are playing well
40@ grootblousmile:Yup, looked like his shoulder, hope it’s not too bad
41 @ Just For Kicks:
Man, he’ll be up for murder soon in Japan…. against those little okes.
He must just leave rugby!
Tahs penalty, smack bang in front of the sticks
Waratahs 10 / 7 Crusaders
Goosens out for 4 months with a dislocated shoulder
Wonder when Loosehead will be released from Falkenburg Mental Hospital… maybe we should send some flowers… hahahaha

Rugbyweek.com –
Cheetahs fly half Johan Goosen has been ruled out of rugby for four months so he will miss the rest of the Super Rugby season due to injury.
Goosen injured his shoulder playing against the Highlanders in Bloemfontein and injured his shoulder whilst scoring a Cheetahs try.
The fly half was stretchered off in the match when the Cheetahs were leading 30-9 and had to sit on the sidelines and watch on as the Cheetahs allowed the Highlanders comeback and win the match 33-36.
Goosen confirmed via Facebook that he will miss the rest of the Super Rugby season , “Thanks for all the messages, appreciate it! ”
“I am out for four months,” said Goosen.
55@ grootblousmile:Hahaha, he obviously follows Goosen on FB too!!!
