Snap! 🙂
@ Puma:
Scotland only has 2 seasons… Winter and July!
24 @ Lol, my bad!
All cappies are Boet’s by default
@ The_Young_Turk:
@ Puma:Yup, been standing out in it in an old mac and holey wellies, trying to get used to it!
@ The_Young_Turk:They say, that if you can’t see the Isle of Skye from mainland Scotland, its raining. If you can see the Isle of Skye from mainland Scotland, it’s going to rain!!!!
Kickers, appreciate you update the article score for me, I am on the tablet? I will keep the banter going? c
@ Cheetah4eva:
Sh’e not a capie, she’s a scottish lassie.
36 @ Cheetah4eva: No problem
34 @ Just For Kicks:
You will be so used to it living there, will be like normal… 🙂
Jeez the rain came down here yesterday, torrential. Today just big blue sky and not much wind. Strange weather we having, normally there is plenty rain this time of year, but never that heavy like last night and when we played WP. Wish our game was on this afternoon, we just may have got our 4 tries. If we picked up two in that bad weather who knows we just may have.
Rain letting both sides down now in the handling department
38 @ JFK!
Much obliged
@ Puma:Yeah, saw the match last night, we also had some torrential downpours yesterday
@ Puma:
BigCat, when are you moving the sharks over to the new stadium. Why are you still sticking to that old crappy swampland?
WP really are a yo-yo team, awesome one week, atrocious the next!
Banana’s.
WP 3/6 Lions
This is a game that started with great potential, and has withered to an insignificant slop
42 @ Just For Kicks:
Terrible weather to play a good game of rugby in. Rain started around 4.30pm and just never let up, just kept coming down. Today all clear and we not playing, damn…hehe.
Should be good weather for our Boks later in Pretora. Though I will be disappoited if we don’t thrash the Wallabies. That is a very weak Oz side. Boks should at the very least beat them by 12 if not not going to be that happy.
Yo-yo is just what I was thinking too – Get your act together WP
@ Puma:
I think the Wobblies may just receive a record thrashing. I’ve gone for the Boks by 41 on Bru!
@ Puma:I will be too mad to be heart sore if we don’t thrash the Wobblies today. With all respect to them, they really are a ragtag side, having been decimated by retirements and injury. They are there for the taking. Even the Ostrich can’t stuff this one up – surely?
43 @ The_Young_Turk:
Look I love KP and have great memories going there, but I am one that has said for a long time now we should be using the modern stadium across the road. Just that we are dept free at KP if we move over think it will cost Sharks a lot. Also there is only 135 suites there as at KP there are 400 suites. That is where most stadiums make their money is the suites. Much like Newlands too should be moving over to CT Stadium, but doubt they will because of so few suites built there too.
@ The_Young_Turk: Dang, I’m impressed – I went with the Boks around 25, I think!
51 @ Puma:
dept = debt
@ Just For Kicks:I wouldn’t be too sure – I’m sure he won’t mean to, but…….
52 @ Just For Kicks:
I went with Boks by 10. Only because I am always conservative when picking margins. The reason I am wearing the yellow cap for two weeks………hahaha. That does not happen often for me that I can tell you.
Boks should win by 18. I would love us to put a score like that past the ABs next week…haha. Wishful thinking, but ABs are not that great right now either. We should have beaten them in Dunedin too.
@ Puma:Agree, WP should move to CT stadium. Newlands has become a truly awful place now. As Loskop said, he wouldn’t dare take his wife there any more. The corridors are a stinking mess, the bar is disgusting, the toilets leave much to be desired, and access is always going to be a nightmare, but as you say, a move is unlikely.
2nd half on
Penalty Lions, kickable, and James steps up
….and he slots it
WP 3/9 Lions
Now a penalty the other end, and the Cat steps up this time
