147 @ Gobble_BokJan:
Was nice, but it is not over just yet…. I have someone waiting for me inside the house…. hehehe
What hurts is how we made an awful Wobblie team grow in confidence with our predictable, pedantic approach. The players don’t play with passion and commitment anymore either. I think the players confidence is shot and they are questioning themselves. JdV looks close to a breakdown.
147 @ Gobble_BokJan:They are being made scapegoats, and it’s not their fault, they shouldn’t be there, and that is precisely why I blame HM so. They are not bad players, just not good enough to be playing for the Boks. Old boys club and all that. I also feel for HM with the captaincy issue, but you HAVE to choose your best players first, then the Captain.
@ grootblouBokJan:
Hey, did you kidnap my Russian by any chance?
Do Cheetahs go for posts if penalty is given, or do they do a Bulls effort?
Cheetahs penalty…. already 5 minutes after the hooter
Game over….
What a finish! Brilliant effort by the Cheetahs at the end.
Final Score: DHL Western Province 29 / 22 Toyota Free State Cheetahs
And they do. Greed. They should have secured the bonus point, and that could well count later with this tight competition. So WP go clear at the top. Good for them Well done WP. I like this style of play (kicking excluded!!!)
Nouja toe… dit was nou lekker… maar nou is dit klaar
@ Just For Kicks:
They have the bonus – 29 less 22 = 7
GBS, enjoy the rest of your evening, hope it ends better than it began, hehehe
@ Gobble_BokJan:So they do, thank you, I take back what I said.
Thanks guys. Enjoy the rest of your b/day GBS.

@ grootblouBokJan:
Have a bit of Russian tart to go with that cake.
Cheers guys.
…. and remember… Gooooooooi Mielies!
Die lewe is ‘n lied, sing hom uit volle bors!
@ Gobble_BokJan:
Ditto.
You only need to look at Frans Steyn’s body language out there, he looks really pissed mostly…..?

Ok all I am going to watch a movie and cry myself to sleep. It’s going to be a kuk rugby season for me. Nothing to look forward to.
Ciao a tutti.
Brache MOTM, well deserved. Great match. I thought Elstadt had an outstanding second half as well. Best I have seen him play this whole season.
Cheers all, see you on the reverse side – unless someone wants to stay up and slag off the Boks with me – don’t know if it will make me feel any better though!
Yip, nite all, I am going to read some of your comments on the Sharks’ thread over dinner, missed the game.
A bit of a kuk day this was for SA rugby, BUT we must just get back into it somehow, no use crying now….
Tjorts.
@ Piet-Springbok-Jan:I see the wife has the yellow cap. Congrats. Up 39 places. Good choosing. Perhaps she could help out HM for a while!
@ Just For Kicks:
She has? Wow!
Let me go wake her and explain what yellow cap means, hehehehe!
