Forgettable first half…
My Bru pick is Blues by 8… nicely on their way to it, at present
@ ashley:@51
Waarvoor lag jy ou lang ene?
Of dink jy ook ek moet liewer skryf ‘Doppies Rule’?
2 Nd Half ON!
pieta @ 64
nee oom, ek lag nie vi daai nie oom, ek lag vir die toppies rule-gedeelte oom 😀
@ grootblousmile:
Ek ook met 8, so jy bly een plek bo my oppie leer….tot die volgende game wanneer Jake se manne die Tahs gaan slag.
Terloops,volgens News24 is Sarel Pretorius besig om te probeer loskom by die Tahs, hy kry nie genoeg game time nie, maar hy is vas met n tweejaar kontrak. Klink hy is redelik gatvol daar in Oz…
Ek’t gisteraand ‘n slaappil gedrink… hom seker te stadig gesluk want my een skouer slaap nounog!
67 @ Pietman:
Hy wil mos, hy was op ‘n goeie wicket hier in SA… nou het sy spel kwaai versleg.
@ ashley:
O, OK dan….
pietman @ 67
wie ookal vir hom oortuig het om tahs toe te gaan het hom maar baie k*k raad gegee!!
Napolioni Nalaga almost right through for the Farce… Blues manage to get a defensive scrum on their own 5m line
Flok, daar’s amper so baie mense by die game as by ‘n game by die Coke-Tin
Long half an hour remaining
@ ashley:
Ja, klink so.
Hy was op n goeie kontrak by Cheetahs, lekker huis in Bloem en geborgde BMW’tjie en als, sien ek in Huisgenoot oor die vrou se skouer, en hy sou waarskynlik Bokreserwe gewees het noual. Die outjie het genuine goed gespeel in SA verlede jaar.
Blues 5m out
Try Charles Piutau for the Blues
Blues 20 / 9 Force
Try Ma’a Nonu
Farce se wiele nou mors-af
Is this Van Der Heijden a Saffa chickenrunner?
@ Pietman:
You never know until you try but I think he left a year too soon. He should have given it another year in SA and if he had by then not progressed, he could have considered moving. He should try to come to the Sharks or Stompies.
Blues 27 / 9 Force
80 @ Loosehead:
No, not that I know about
pietman @ 75
“…. sien ek in Huisgenoot oor die vrou se skouer …..”
hahaha, lekker lag ek nou.
nee pieta, erken maar jong, jy lees gereeld die huisgenoot!!
So fellas, what is your predictions for the Stormpoppies / Staat game later?
turk @ 81
he should come to the superrugby champions (read stormers)
gbs @ 85
stoooooooormers!!!!
Good day all from a soggy Scotland, was nice and cheery this nice morning… then saw last night’s rugby score very disapointing, been out of touch this week does this mean us Bulls are out of the running for the play offs? Anyway belated congratulations Sharks!
Morning all/More almal. What a game last night! @ GBS – my condolences, but great for the SA conference overall.
@ ashley:
Ek lees net ‘By die Opsitkers’ innie Landbouweekblad, daar waar al die los ghoesse vannie plase adverteer en mans soek wat aan die Apostoliekerk behoort en wattie rokie….al Afrikaans wat ek nog lees.
En nou en dan die ‘Overberger’ en Paarl Post, en dan ook net die ‘in memoriam’…..
