Does that mean Disco Rassie is also now an undercover Bull?
……and thats farking the horizon – both from a scrummie, and a captains pov. As I say, he has to win all his matches, or there will be a resounding backlash
61@ grootblousmile:Why, is he also playing scrummie?
Lions hanging on in defence, warming to see it
@ Just For Kicks:
Stop kicking Smiles when he is down, mate. Have some mercy!
C’mon Lions
65 @ The_Young_Turk:
No, I’m not down… just fighting injustice, prejudice, callous impertinance and pure blindness.
65@ The_Young_Turk: He’s not down at all, yet! But if you’re going to pick a retired has been, you’d better know what you are doing!
Lemoenetyd
45@ Just For Kicks:
hehe. Yip and snap as we posted the samething at the same time. I read it in the papers here and then came to the pc to check rugby-blogland. It is everywhere. So must be true. I don’t rate him as captain but he was a magnificent player a few years back, after the shoulder op he was not the same at the wc. Hougie should have started everygame there he was brilliant. Now FdP keeps him out again. Eish!!!
Okay now this is my 6th attempt at posting, it just bombs my posts out again. Must be a conspircasy against me from the webmaster here gbs……………hahahahaha. Don’t want us to talk about his Bully Boys…..hehehe.
67@ grootblousmile:Fark, sorry, didn’t realise you used the same sunglasses shop as HM
70@ Puma: If its a conspiracy, then I’m next!
@ Puma:
No matter how hard he tries, don’t give in Bigcat!
71 @ Just For Kicks:
Wish I had Blue glasses, to go with my Blue Jeans, Blue Onderbroekke, Blue Socks, Blue Bulls shirts, Blue Bulls Windbreaker and Blue Tekkies
Julle kan ALMAl gaan kak… hell, I need new friends….
Hehehe
I tell you what though, jokes aside, I reckon Kirchner played himself into that green jersey last night. Had an awesome game
@ grootblousmile:
But they would clash awfully with your pink bloomers, slip, high heels and purse.
74@ grootblousmile:…..and black t-shirt!!!!!!
Back…good to see the Lions still ahead
77@ The_Young_Turk: HE’S BACK – thank god for that, thought we’d lost you forever!!!!!!!
77 @ The_Young_Turk:
True… hehehe
75 @ grootblousmile:
You need some blue friends. How about those smurfs on the tv?
