167 @ Just For Kicks:
Ok JFK then they won’t meet in league this year as Stranraer are in division above Rangers, Stranraer drew 1 all against Arbroath today. Talking of mighty fallen it seems that there is still some money about there as someone close by reckons the team may have spent the night in one of the city’s expensive hotels last night to break up their journey up to Peterhead.
GBS must be smiling! The Bulls thread could only manage 132 comments! Cheetahs thread did that in the 1st half. Seems the support is shifting south lol
Right, come on Cheetahs, a few more please
Lions 23 / 13 Cheetahs
23-13, we are not out of it yet.
Wonder who is the most cash strapped the Lions or Rangers?
172 @ Spooony:
Yes Spooony their punishment was to drop to Division 3 and they also not allowed to play in Europe (ie Champions league or Uefa cup) for 3 years
182 @ Bullscot:Hahaha, but did they pay their bill?
172 @ Spooony:Brilliant
Nou toe Cheetahs, laat waai julle jagse luipaarde!
183 @ Cheetah4eva:
I’m always smiling when the comments pile up here on R-T!
Thundering tackle to snuff out that movement! Cheetahs looking a tad more focussed, but they need to get some more points on the board
183 @ Cheetah4eva: are there still Bulls supporters on this site?
190 @ Pietman:
Hoe gaat dit met PietRokkies… sy daar naby of is jy by die werk?
Red card?
Strauss lucky, yellow only
Rugby is becoming like tiddley winks.
190 @ Pietman,
Nou praat jy die taal wat ons verstaan lol. Jeez the game is getting soft! Really the rule is being applied pedantically in my opinion.
Andries Strauss cops a yellow card for a tip-tackle on Joshua
Lions 26 / 13 Cheetahs
@ Bullscot:
SARU should take note from that decision. 3rd devision sides don’t belong in elite competitions
189 @ Just For Kicks:
Ah I’m sure they would have a rich man as bought them over, I guess with some long term plan in mind for return on the investment.
Agreed Loosehead, I have no problem if there is danger in that, but what next, farking airbags?
196 @ Just For Kicks: WHAT? It is a tragedy that he was yellowed for that.
Super Sareltjie much better than Piet van Zyl was… and to think the Cheetahs wanted Van Zyl in the Bokke squad…
YESSSSSSSSS TRY!
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant by Rhule
Tryyyyyyyyy Rhule again
Wow, the decision to include Rhule is being rewarded! Brilliant stepping! Whoooooohooooo!
@ Loosehead:
@183
Only GBS and myself….and we are slowly getting a little gatvol with their ‘kick en tjaarts’ style of rugby, soon we will be demonstratink in Kirkness Str again, as in 2001….
Mooi! Haak Vrystaat!!!!!
