2 @ xkreniwp:
Mooi!
Laat die Super Rugby ding gebeur!
Oh hell i aint even gonna play SB lol, but i am ready, an Aussie team will win today, but rugby will be the loser.
4 @ Sharks_forever:
Pissie!
Hell, who does not have the balls to play Bru?
Let me go fetch a broken PC from a Dentist client quickly… be back in 40 minutes… or sooner.
@ grootblousmile: Sien superbru is lekker oorlaai!! Kry konstant ‘n “SQL Deadlock victim” bootskap… Hahaha
7 @ xkreniwp:
Ja, dit gebeur maar net voor afskop van ‘n rondte en ook net na elke game wanner elke liewe Bru flokker will kyk waar hy of sy nou staan.
Wat lekker is, is dat ons Tugby-Talk poelle almal Super Pools is, wat vir ons die Leaderboard Widgets gee om hier aan die Regter SideBar te vertoon (sidebar regs verdwyn gedurende Live Game tyd, maar is agterna weer op… en is nou op die Home Page verkrygbaar)
More almal. My picks are in! Looking froward to another season of wrestling with my heart and head.
OMG too flucking funny, I go make my picks on SB amd Rudi and i have exactly the same picks and scores lol. that damn Brakkenjanoanner was reading my mind 😆
My picks vir die kings is klaar vooruit gedoen tot en met die laaste game… Op average verloor hulle met 21 punte

Morning everyone.
Finally Super Rugby is here…………..heeeeehaaaaaaa….
Also just watched the repeat of Boots as I missed it last night. Man I laughed my butt off now….hahaha. Who the heck got the Bulls to sing? hehehehehe D. Potgieter was a scream 🙂 looked like he wanted to cry and probably should have as he was totally out of tune the whole team were out of tune…hehehehe. Crikey cant remember last I laughed so much…. hahahahaha.
@ Puma: Hahaha! What dit you expect? They’re Rugby players, not Pretoria Boys High School Choir…
13 @ Puma:
Jealousy will get you nowhere…
14 @ xkreniwp:
I know but really who made them do that? Bloody hell it was funny but cringe worthy too. Doubt they will live that down this season….hahahaha. Looked like they all wanted to laugh the whole time too, poor buggers standing there looking daft… 🙂 🙂 Who thought of that it never worked. If I am laughing I can tell you the whole country are as well.
yes yes YES, it’s game time
May our spouses life happily ever after
15 @ grootblousmile:
Jinne boeta, I am not jealous of that……. hehehe.
Fark, a busy day for me today…
But first I am ready for lekker Super Rugby.
Then I have to go to Benoni Municipality to pick up our Ccompliance Certificate… then to Pretoria to go open a Stationery and Books account for my son, fix someone’s ADSL and to another client to fix some stuff.
Then I drive back at break-neck, low-flying speed, to get into my one suit, because we have a freegin Beeld-Kinderfonds Valentynsdans Dinee at Union Caterers back in Pretoria at 19:00, where Cobus Wiese will be Master of Ceremonies.
@ Puma: Hahaha! Ok-ok, I agree, it is funny… but brilliant! Because the marketing team achieved what set out to achieve, and that is to get everyone in the country talking about the Bulls.
18 @ Puma:
My wife, who is actually evertything else but a Bulls supporter, saw it last night on Boots and All… and actually liked it… and thought it was pretty cool by the Bulls.
As you know, she is in Marketing, and thought it a very clever idea by the Bulls to show their supporters that the support is returned and appreciated….
So, scoff at it Engelsman… we are not worried, we back our team, who backs us in return.
Apart from “We are Black, we are White, we shit our pants because of Cryptonite”, the Sharks have no songs…
OK!
Force takes to the field
@ grootblousmile:
I hope it’s not a buffet. You know they always let the Special guests eat first don’t you??

Amen broeder!
Game ON!
YEAY!!! Game on!!!
23 @ Stormersboy:
One of the last Beeld functions we will have to attend…
Force misses a penalty at goal
Force on fire, as the get a sitter chance at goal…
21 @ grootblousmile:
Doubt very much any other team will copy that though. Look it is good if they are reaching to their supporters that way, but really I felt embarrassed for them.
