Just For Kicks will be your Captain for this game…. I’ll be here for about the first 20 minutes of it before I leave to Pretoria on other matters.

EP Kings levelled the scores 2 minutes into the 2nd Half… now 13 / 13
EP Kings lead 16 / 13

Gooooooooo Pumas!
Kings 23 / 13 Pumas
12 Minutes to play
EP Kings 23 / 18 Pumas

EP Kings 26 / 18 Pumas

Howzit, GBS – Finally finished cooking! Time to put my feet up. Puma’s leaving it just a tad too late, I fear
7 @ Just For Kicks:
Yeah, too late…. 8 points the deficit, 3 minutes to go
Try Pumas…. just more than a minute left
A minute to win it!
Still time for the kick-off
EP Kings 26 / 25 Pumas
Well done Kings. Welcome to the big world.
Final Score: EP Kings 26 / 25 Pumas
EP Kings hold the Currie Cup First Division title
I suppose I better go get dressed for the shindig tonight… then come and watch the first 20 minutes of the WP / Cheetahs match, before we go.
PS! I really enjoyed the HSBC Gold Coast Sevens game between the Blitzbokke and the All Blacks.
Blitzbokke going into a heavy lead to start and eventually winning by 31 / 21
Yup, was a good game. Saw up to a couple of minutes before the final whistle, and the boys looked polished.
Whoever loses here, is out of the semi’s… the winner into the semi’s.
Gooooooooo Vrystaaaaaatttt!
Will be difficult for the Cheetahs to win this one, but hey, who knows…
Go Cheeeeeeeeeetahs! Fark the Kings anyway! Sorry Puma’s! No doubt Jafta did his duty to the puppet masters!
Cheetahs have their work cut out tonight. A four try, less than seven loss will do the trick, but what the heck, why not a four try bonus point victory!
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Staat players coming out onto the field of play
Evening JFK ala el Capitano, fellow Cheetah sopporters and minnions!
WP running out, their big guns all back
Big game – Go the better team!!!!!
Game ON!
Penalty advantage to WP…. and eventually given
@ Cheetah4eva:Howzit C4E. At last a decent day for playing rugby, and I’m not even there! A bit narked, to say the least!!!
Early nerves lead to a high tackle, no intent
WP 3 / 0 Cheetahs
The Cat sinks it. WP 3/0 FS Cheetahs
Lol, well lets hope it’s a good match (read a Cheetahs victory) lol
