    That’s a relief! I think you would have won on a TKO in the first round!

    @ bdb:
    Do you think HM is still determined to pick your laaitie for the team or have you been able to convince him to drop Stain? I see you have managed to convince Smiles…

    216: iewers gelees HM het gesê hy gaan met FH en MS volhard, of dit net ‘n roomer is, weet ek nie.

    As HM wil volhard met skop wedstrydplan, sal ek Pienaar skrummie speel, met FH as super sub.

    My eie siening: hang af hoe lyk Goosen en of hy reg is, dan sal ek hom kies saam met ‘n ervare Pienaar.

    Jantjes is volgende in die tou, so dink nie Grant sal ‘n kans kry nie, behalwe as daar verdere beserings is.

    Grant is vir my OK, niks flashy nie, maar doen die basics reg, skop goed pale toe.

    Wat HM gaan doen, nie noodwendig my siening nie, is om teen ARG met MS te begin, en dan kom Goosen op na 55 minute en neem oor.

    Sal moet sien, jy weet mos hoe is vrouens, doen net wat hulle wil !

    What a game! Glad I took the morning off to watch. Plenty of niggle. And plenty for the 2 SA teams to ponder.

    Good game, result wasnt what I expected but thats how it goes, deserved winners at the end of the day. For me just a sideshow to the main event tomorrow.
