@ Puma:Hiyas good brudda , you well??. BB is always going against our Sharks, :angry:
@ grootblousmile:
GM rudi, how you doing??
@ Puma:
What will be will be!
22@ Blue Bird:Yup, big excitement in our household too! Have wiped the television down, to make sure we miss nothing, got the gin in, and borrowed a couple of corgi’s from next door for the party
@ Blue Bird:GM Aunty BB
@ Puma:
I thought the Sharks would ‘stuff up’ as you Saffas say last week!!
I have picked them to win by 25 today!! Is that enough do you think?
Flok, where did all you guys and gals pop out the woodwork from? Too many for my little bird brain to handle…
@ bean1:
Just call him ‘Sat Nav’….as GBS does use a sort of GPS to home in on his ‘viewers’ !!
22@ Blue Bird:
Celebrations there sound great, pity you having bad weather right now. You want some of Umhlanga’s awesome weather? Okay will send you some…hehehe.
We have the most brilliant weather this time of year. Has to be the best in the world. Can’t beat our winter weather. 26 today with full blue sky, not one cloud about and no wind either. Will even have a swim later, and that is our winter… 😛
@ Blue Bird:
lol BB, now you should have more faith in my Sharkies, they could still top our log this year, it was never gonna be over till that fat lady starts to sing 😆
As for today?? hell who knows, we should win that far but these local derbies never just pan out like that
28@ Puma:No one left in the Stormers side, so only nerves I have is just hoping the empty bus will make it to the stadium with out breaking down!
@ Just For Kicks:I told you – NO CORGIS
Gooooooooooo Bullssssssss!
Today the whole family goes to Loftus… BonzaiGBS and myself going to the Press Box, Handbriekie & BonzaiHandbriekie going to Beeld’s Box, which she’s fully in charge of for the year at Loftus…
@ Just For Kicks:
Thats what is missing for my party, ‘Rent a corgi’…… I must up my game.
You should see all our flags and bunting though!! We have a union jack from VE Day after WWII !!
@ Blue Bird:Haha
32@ bean1:
For sure, but really it is not a forgone conclusion that Bulls will win, Stormers could win this. I have Bulls to win purely because of their injury woes.
Blues looking good so far
@ sharky_forever:
Not always against ths Sharks! They did surprise me last week tho!! 🙂
@ Puma:we have enough of those ourselves
Blues not playing badly, some old stalwarts back in the team.
5m away from the Chiefs line
@ The_Young_Turk:
Hold on, it might be quite a ride!!
try blues
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Saili… for the Blues
Come on Blues, and they score
39@ sharky_forever:
Yip, BB fell off the pace in our bru pool going against our Sharkie..hehe. Now she is paying the price…lol.
You know I am a bit nervous for our game later, we always let our guard down when playing a team not in the race. Just hope we win and with a bonus point, because we need it.
Blues 7 / 3 Chiefs
Wow, Graham Henry scores and takes the lead!
heeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaa. COME ON BLUES. 🙂
@ Puma:
Can I please forward order a hot, bright dry day on Monday 4th at about 3pm…..
We are situated between Jeremy Clarkson and David Cameron!! You can’t miss us!!
A light breeze too, if that option is available!
Try Chiefs, Tikoroituma
