Tuks right back on attack… good work, Tuks
Shimlas hold yet another maul up… Orie a bit light in the pants for a lock… no enforcer quality…
What were your SuperBru picks for this game, mine was Tuks by 5, I think
Jean Cook is a busy fella…. lots of potential there.
Shimlas cop a Yellow Card, Astle
55 @ grootblousmile:
Gosh so thats both of you working for youselves, brave stuff. Hope things take off really well then gbs.
Tuks flyhalf Schoeman kicks it out, 5m from the line.
Jean Cook over for his 2nd try!
Whoop!
Yeah Tuks!
65 @ Bullscot:
Well, I’ve been working for myself for 23 years, so my business is settled…
Handbriekie could only do 3 times better… she has a wealth of business accumen and heaps of the right contacts… and not at all afraid to work hard.
57 @ grootblousmile:
Ok thanks man thats fewer than thought, is Pollard not there yet, also thought maybe Jean Cook as well but guess numbers are limited, when will the final squad be announced surely should be sorted by now?
Tuks 18 / 4 Shimlas
Great stuff Jean Cook!
67 @ grootblousmile:
Sounds like your Handbriekie is very switched on you lucky man
68 @ Bullscot:
Final Squad has been sorted for a while… and the only real hope for inclusion is when injuries occur.
Pollard is on the Tuks bench… probably closest to the Super Rugby squad…
@ grootblousmile:
Ok thanks man gotta go cheers vir eers
71 @ Bullscot:
She was with Media24 for 22 years, 1 month and 6 days when she resigned… in one of the most influential advertising money generating positions in the newspaper industry… so yeah, she knows business and she knows people… the right people
Tuks 23 / 4 Shimlas, as Clayton Blommetjies also went over for a try.

Tuks penalty, 8m out
Tuks knock at their own lineout…. Orie
5 Minutes to play in the match
