Was an interesting game… Lions full value.
Did not suit my Bru, but what the hell
Surprised by the outcome of this game, i really thought Cheetahs were much better.
Os and Naka will have to sort the forwards out in a hurry.
270 @ cat66:
So, what do you think of the site, Baie Katte?
@ cat66:
I had the score spot on…but the wrong team!
272 @ Pietman:
Looks like Ackers is building a formidable forwards pack
Butch Brainfart gets the Man Of The Match award
Bitter, bitter weather all over the country it seems.
Dis moer chilly hier in die Panne!
@ grootblousmile:
Ackers up against it, hope the Lions’ Union can pull through these lean times.
This win will be a great morale booster for the Jozi boys.
No way you can put them in the same coral as the ‘Cheeky Kings’, and the Lions proved that today once again.
@ grootblousmile:
I think Butch deserves MOTM.
@ Pietman:
Ja maar ek bly nou onder n hoop poefie na die jonker show wat nou net op was
Ek gaan oor na die nat Kaapse garing…
279 @ Pietman:

Sorry, missed your question, bit early for me to say, looks good and all you guys obviously have known each other for a long time, while I am ‘the new kid’ who no one knows anything about. I did notice there seems to be some kind of personal argument going on, but since I have no idea of the history, I won’t comment, aside from saying no matter who is right or wrong, its a distraction from the rugby chat. As I mentioned to you on the phone I got really tired of all the personal ‘spats’ on sites like Keo, so hopefully you guys will sort it out.
Just a thought, as said I didnt know you had asked the question, and would have missed it entirely. I run a sort of blog/message board (nothing to do with rugby, its US based where they know nothing about rugby) where if anyone replies to a comment of mine I can choose to be notified by email (or not), so I dont miss it. Dont know how you would do it on your site, certainly not feasible for your during game commentary, but maybe give it a thought? On the other hand Darren, you been running your site for years and know what you are doing, so dont want to sound like a smart ass 🙂
