Pieta & Myself urgently need a Farce try!
89 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Thanks for the condolences…. eish was bad!
88 @ Bullscot:
No, we’re not out of the running but it certainly means at leat away play-off’s!
@ Bullscot:
Bulls still in with a chance, according to bdb’s account post match on the other threat. But I fear idfthe Bulls have to play Down Under they will get butchered…playing the way they do now, especially the line-outs and at number 8, 9, 10, as Ashley said earlier.
Hulle is hondkuk in daai departemente…
89 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
wasn’t too confident about the game before it but I hoped for a narrow victory for the Bulls or at least a bonus point for close loss, but from that score it looks like it was a hiding we got, pity.
Hello there how you doing, its not long since I seen the result of last night so am bit grumpy still
Try Luke Braid… bonus point
Blues 32 / 9 Force
7 Long minutes left in the match
Thanks GBS and Pietman, sounds like a bad day at the office for Bulls but as long as we still in with a play-off chance who knows, if a few of the players lift their then its possible, but guess just need to focus on trying to beat the Lions (think thats our last game) with a bonus point first and then see what happens.
Penalty Farce, right in front
@ Pietman:
What happened to the line outs? I thought Juandre had been dominating previously. Has he lost form? As far as 8 and 10 are concerned, they are the illegitimate children of an unholy, incestuous union between Gbs and Bidibi, so unfortunately remain untouchable.
98 @ Bullscot:
Yip!

@ Bullscot:
I enjoyed the game as a totally neutral spectator. Sharks just seemed to lift themselves. Think Kanko and Mvovo had really good games. I was also looking at Bismarck to see if he gives away as many penalties as people seem to think, and I think his value outweighs any potential disciplinary issues.
Chiefs vs Crusadres was also a good game to watch.
102 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Sharks were very good!
Sharks scrums were strong, Bissie had a monster game, so too the 3 Sharks loosies and almost the entire Sharks backline.
Chiefs / Saders game was excellent!
@ The_Young_Turk:
@ The_Young_Turk: GBS and BdB, bwahahahaha!!!
104 @ Pietman:
Flok, hierdie Gobble-gobble Fruit is ‘n skurwe Italiaanse donner… eish!
Hehehehe
Final Score: Blues 32 / 9 Western Force
Ok thanks for the updates guys, must get back to holiday things, enjoy rest of weekend’s rugby, cheers vir eers.
107 @ Bullscot:
