New Zealand rugby must be in a seriously good place at the moment if the general consesus is that its going to be a tough one for the Bulls to win as there a lot of unknown players to me in that Blues team, know have not been following Super rugby too closely but even so there are less than a handful of names on that Blues team sheet that I recognize. Big question is will it be worth getting up well before the crack of dawn to follow this one, mmmm decisions decisions. GO BULLS!
3 @ Bullscot:
You will get up yes….
You have to get to know these unknown Blues players… hehehe
My BLOU span het klaar gewen hierdie naweek, 40-32 teen die Griekwas in Kimberley. Maar sterkte vir die Pienkes, gaan nie kyk nie. Sterkte ook vir almal wat opstaan vir die Pink Panther Show.
