Bokke NEED 2 more tries… we want 5 from this one
Boks look firmly in control here. Let’s hope it continues in the second half and we get our bonus point. On this performance, Pumas are not going to be competitive in this competition.
180 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:
Yes, loosies are doing well.
Loosies have impressed, as have Bekker and Etzebeth
Both Biff and Alviro Petersen is out… 52 / 2
No criticisms about any of the Bok players or game plan so far. Everything ticking over like a well oiled machine.
So far okay, we must get 2 more tries in the next half.
Hope Bissie is okay. Looked like his knee was done there.
Go Bokke.
Always appreciate Victor’s insight. Nice to listen to someone who really knows what he’s talking about.
Howzit Loosehead?
Still in Tygerberg or somewhere else now?
185: nog 2 paaltjies vanaand dan is ons in die moeilikheid. Die twee manne voor die paaltjies nou moet tot 150 kolf.
185 @ grootblouBokJan:
Damn just what I was worried about. Now we in trouble in the cricket.
Have not watched any since the rugby started.
@ Gobble_BokJan:
Yip, team gelling well, happy for HM
Our Sharks pack really good…
188 @ Gobble_BokJan:
Bulls know what they’re talking about… hehehe
Bokke need an equally good 2nd Half, none of this stuff of only one good half….
Come on Heyneke… work that magic
@ PumaSpringbokJan:
Checked the replay, nobody near when he got injured?
Just a bad knee twist, Shark boys feeling the hard rugby played over the last two months.
@ grootblouBokJan:
Geez, you’re on top form today bru. Nothing getting past you, your quips are coming thick and fast.
@ Piet-Springbok-Jan:
Well Bissie will have a solid month to recover if it’s not serious.
196 @ Gobble_BokJan:
Yip good night last night and a Snap-Crackle-and-pop morning!
2 nd Half On!
Ek’t so n uur voor die rugby gaan skyns le. Skielik skrik ek wakker en dit is 10 minute te gaan in die eerste helfde. Heeltemaal deur die kak. Ek’t nou net gou die kole gaan ingooi en nou is ek wakker my n yskoue Carlsberg Export in my hand.
Pumas penalty, high tackle by Alberts
Gobble-Bok Jan looks like a bit of a turkey to me!
Bosch misses to the right
Good Bokke clearance kick
Penalty advantage to the Pumas, against Daniel
@ fender:
Howzit Obelix?
Durbanville my good man.
We’re slipping far too many tackle at the moment – I think it was 8 in the first half, and already a couple in this half
Penalty given….
Ref again being his useless self
Missed left by Hernandez
