Goooooooooo Bokke!
GO BOKKE!
Really hope we win today and stop the ABs from getting 17 in a row. Today even if we win by one will be enough. Against the ABs just don’t worry too much about our game plan, just want to see us win it.
Hope that Soccer City is full house, Loftus had far too many empty seats last week.
Time for nog eenetjie before he game starts.
GBS, why are ou not posting from the stadium?
Moer hulle stukkend Bokke!!!

Went to the Blue Bulls match last night… and have been busy with rugby so much that I’ve not spent much time with my wife…. so chose not to…
Scrumdown would have gone for us… but that was canned too
Made myself a cheese platter now….
Die lewe is ‘n Lied, sing hom uit volle bors
If Langbek has a great game and plays to his potential and dominates the air in conjunction with EE, If Beast and Jannie can come to the party for a change, If the loose trio can continue their form, If the golden Goose can live up to our expectations and be over his injury, If Ruan can stop farking around at the base of the scrum, If JdV can discover his form of old and Taute can have a blinder, if Habs can make amends for his disaster of 2 years ago….. This could be a record win and the worst loss the All Blacks have ever suffered in their history.
I say, why not, it’s got to happen someday and today everything’s in place for it to happen. Go Bokke, go the Green and Gold!
Lekker…go bokke!!!! Klap hulle!!!

Hello Balle!
Mmmmmm, Aswin Willemse says Jean de Villiers is a brilliant distributor of the ball…… pfffrrrrtttt
The distributors in our backline are Pienaar, Goosen, Taute, Hougie & Habana.
De Villiers & Kirchner often fail to pass…. and that will have to change
You guys getting nervous, like I am getting?
12 @ grootblousmile: you also have a hard on?
Jeeeez, Ruan Pienaar’s box kicking has to improve 100 fold…
13 @ Loosehead:
Always do have one of those, but fark man, that’s not the issue here… hehehe
Ahhh, my Tin of Condensed milk has arrived from the shops…
Life can’t be sweeter!
7 @ The_Young_Turk:
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
‘ Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!………..Then we will win
Great tribute to Jooste.
Tribute to Joost on TV… he was good as a youngster… but not as good as Fourie du Preez
Hello GBS!!! Dit is lanklaas wat ek so uitgesien het en positief is vir ‘n bokke game teen NZ. I like NZ f…l
20 @ rugbybal:
Hoe gaan dit in Skrefiesogieland?
Tjom, ek sien ook uit… hoop net die Bokke doen die ding vir ons teen die aartsvyand!
16th Springbok Test that Alain Rolland will referee.
Wonder if him reffing last week for our Test will help… players should be used to his interpretations… fully!
Jeeez, Joost looks old and drawn…
Our locks should be superior…
Wooried about our front row.
That is one awesome AB team
We MUST cut the ball off at source, so gunning Aaron Smith and cutting him off from the rest is vital!
Is there time for another dop before kick off?
All Blacks coming out onto the pitch
Evening All. Go Bookkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Go Cheetahs!!! After the Griquas demolition derby on the Lions we need a damn win, with bonus point! Tall order I know.
@ Just For Kicks:
Mooi! Can see that private school education paid off.
