@ Just For Kicks:
Oh dear JFK….not you too!!
Relieving Lions penalty
29 @ bos_otter:
Hello Os_Botter!
This time the Blues get a relieving penalty… Daniel Braid earning it for the Blues
@ bos_otter:
Sorry to hear about your loss. Bad business that, maak n man hood de moer in as jou goed gesteel word.
Gelukkig hier los ek my huis oop, selfs as ek SA toe gaan, hulle goete word getjop as hulle hier steel!
Braid Bros giving Jantjies another shot.
Lions defence good at the moment
Blues have penalty advantage… hard on attack… try Michael Hobbs
30@ Pietman:Mary had to go over the mountain yesterday, said the violence had spilt onto the N@, police looking like armadillo’s in their safety gear, and rubber bullets flying everywhere. It really is deteriorating into a mess at the moment.
The biggest thing that pisses you off, is the cost of repairing the doors/windows that they smash up whilst breaking in.
Damn, easy try, like a knife through butter. If the SARU meeting is anything to go by, Lions not helping themselves like this
Alles begin Taute se kuk skop, net daar verloor Leeus momentum na n goeie begin.
Blues 7 / 3 Lions
@ Pietman:
Pietman, helfte van die mense in SA sal met missing goete rondloop as hulle daai wet inbring in SA….wens hulle wou 🙂
Blues right back on attack
Are the Lions going to take another hammering here?
Blues rumble it over…
TMO
@ Just For Kicks:
Wife has to go to Bellville tomorrow, told here to go via Franschhoek, avoid CFM. Eissshhh….western Cape being inundated by these Ciskeiens.
Kuk die Leeus, en my bru, alweer…
Inconclusive, scrum 5, Blues ball
Forward pass…. Lions escape.
Lions scrum on their own 5m line
45@ Pietman:Tell her to drive carefully, they’re forecasting heavy mist over the w/e, and you know what the F/hoek pass is like in mist!
Lions’ tight five must come to the party here….hulle hang bal op die oomblik.
Blues looking good on attack, hey
Blues put Ross Cronje under pressure… and turn the ball over.
Blues scrum, 5m out
@ Just For Kicks:
Thx, will do….or else she must go Monday, but this is also a Mother’s Day thing, I think. Will check.
Lions defending well. Jantjies solid, tackling like crazy!
Sunday is Mother’s day… right?
Too easy for the Blues at the moment.
Blues penalty, Anscombe going for goal.
Easy one
Blues 10 / 3 Lions
@ grootblousmile:
52@ Pietman:Just had my partners son here, who has come over the pass this morning, and all clear now. Also, this lot of rioters don’t work on weekends, so road should be ok!
58 @ Pietman:
