@ grootblousmile:
ja nee boetie die is super rugby nie tweede liga currie cup nie ou seun
Jeez, Luke Wakson received a kots-inducing elbow in the throat… looked quite painfull
SP Marais quite nippy, hey!
Heelagter van Kings speel goed.
Force 70% possession and almost all the territory
@ ben-die-bul:
ek dink hulle gaan baie beter vaar nou dat her highness af is
59: goed, goed los die Leeusk, sal vir die Kings lag hierdie jaar.
Force gets a relieving penalty
@ ben-die-bul:
Right nou verstaan jy darem
Hierdie is eintlik die finaal vir die houtlepel hierdie jaar ?
Knock by Sergeal Petersen and a Kings player plays it from an offside position.
Force penalty… and they kick out just on the Kings side of halfway.
Queens throw so many wild passes that the Farce are bound to get some intercepts.
Venter kicks directly out… lineout all the way back
Lemoenetyd
Nou hoekom mag die Kings tradisionele wapens op hul truie dra (assegaaie), maar die Bulle kan nie sannas op hul truie dra nie ?
@ ben-die-bul:
dit sal die vuutwapenwet oortee
So, what do you guys make of the 1st 40 minutes of Kings play?
Good defence, good committment, no possession.
I just think the clinical sides will murder them.
So sad the comments here, one would swear the loyalty belongs to a AUSTRALIAN Team, sick man sick and they complain about Capetonians shouting for the great game the ALL BLACKS Play Pathetic , double standards…………
@ grootblousmile:
They don’t look like they are going to trouble any of the other teams.
@ superBul:
Don’t upset yourself so Super, this goes deep and won’t change at least for this generation. It’s sad but there is nothing you can say that can sway emotion.
79 @ The_Young_Turk:
They would have to do miracles on their scrums somehow… and on their breakdowns, so they can get more possession at least.
Game is not over, 40 minutes to play, just scared the Kings dam wall bursts, having had to put in too much defence, it must be severely tiring having to defend the whole time.
76: gaan ons hul saam aankla, met Watson die hoof beskuldigde ?
78: ontspan my ou Bulmaat, ons grap net so bietjie.
@ grootblousmile:
77 in light of where they are rated, BRILLINT. remember they dont deserve to be here, they are 2nd division CC quality and they sneaked the 2nd league against the Pumas. They are dis-pissed, die muishonde ens…
Hoeveel is daar in die staduim so by the way?
83 @ superBul:
Weetie hoeveel toekouers is daar nie

i know but remember i am a Cheeky supporter, i would have done the same if i had the guts. At least i never went to the Force
2Nd Half ON!
@ ben-die-bul:
nee man die bulle moet hulle blommetjie dra groot tradiesie daai
Force steal a Kings lineout… because of a wayward Maku throw
85: en al hierdie tyd dink ek jy is ‘n Bul ? Maar nou is jy superKing ? 😉
Wat gaan jy en YT volgende sê, die Kings en julle is slagoffers van apartheid ? hehe
Kings kickable penalty… shot at goal
