@ Scrumdown:
As far as I know I have never been rude to you or yours – We Scots are VERY patriotic – Pasop!
Stompies losing their lineouts now…
Poppies have lost it now. Card in the not to near future
Skop vir die hoekie !
Bulls winning the maul battle/contest
Pinks starting to dominate now.
The Poppies refuse to commit men to the maul, Bulls using this to their advantage every time
151@ bean1:
No offence meant. Scots are wonderful people. Just dislike theyr dram intently.
Poppies service so slow, men not committing, we’re going back every time
Defense has been massive on both sides.
@ Scrumdown:
lol
I think if the Pinks score next, they will take this match.
Kolisi has been massive.
Scrims are an intense affair and a bit of a mess
Fark, lost my Internet Connection for a while.
Bulls 14 / 9 Stormers
Too much riding on this game for it to be a spectacle?
Arghhhh forward pass by the Bulls….. looked dangerous there
Time for Quin to take the game.
166 @ Scrumdown:
I’d be happy if the Bulls just won… even if by 1 point
Now lets see what Quinn can do!
Not sure that pass was forward; drifting. I saw worse ones this weekend leading to tries.
Only 5 points in the game…. anything can happen.
Both sides need full concentration for the remainder of the game.
Good that Eben has been taken off. Won’t mind if he doesn’t play for the Boks as he seems to have been overplayed and needs the rest.
Too much pink; giving me a headache.
171@ McLook:
We see FAR TOO MANY every week.
That the pass must be sidewards or backwards is the basis on which Rugby is built. It should be voraciously policed IMO.
174 @ McLook:
Sorry… it’s for CANSA…
Moes JDV nie tackle release nie ?
174@ McLook:
Must be early morning there. Is there much interest in the SA derbies in NZ?
Bulls dominating the tackle ball collisions. Stormers game resolve around front foot ball at the collisions so they are not getting into he game.
Bryan Bill Habana just doesn’t have the same ring to it, I’m afraid
