58 @ grootblousmile:
So they say boet. This time pleased it worked out that way…..hahaha.
Going to grab a cup of strong coffee.
COME ON LANDERS…… Damn if I don’t pick up points today, may as well stop playing bru.
Landers sit with a great scrummie in Aaron Smith, then a kak flyhalf, then 2 great centres in Emery and Nonu and a great finisher in Gear on the wing, yet their backline does not click… must be that Slade is the broken link
61 @ Puma:
I had a great Bru week last weekend…. but it goes pear-shaped so quickly
@ Puma:
Hello Bru Big Cat, alls well this side, you?
Nice game this, but Landers’ big five should come to the party now, they have been seriously MIA thusfar.
2nd Half ON!
Pypers is n kuk ref, kyk daai vorentoe aangee reg voor hom!
Surfer Dude slots a penalty for the Reds.
Reds 24 / 16 Highlanders
66 @ Pietman:
Blind soos ‘n mol!
Handling mistakes, basic stuff, killing any Landers’ momentum.
Brumbies & Waratahs Team sheets are up for this weekend, only the Force still outstanding… go see at the Teams Thread!
@ grootblousmile:
Vlieg om die aardbol om daar te gaan blaas, en dan gaan maak hy droog…..
71 @ Pietman:
Ek rook so versigtig vanoggend, Kameeltjies amper klaar… moet netnou gaan koop dat ek kan losbars… hehehe
As Reds nou score is dit game over….
Reds much the stronger side today, that’s for sure
Try Will Genia, bonus point
@ grootblousmile:
Ek het gister paar kartonne gekoop vir die pad, gaan more padvat hier na Oman, Kuwait en Dubai, rookgoed duur daar.
So, ek het sommer n karton oop hier langs my voor die TV, ek is op Gauloises Blondes deedae….
The Reds sea just parted for Genia….
Reds 31 / 16 Highlanders
Genia makes all the difference in this Reds side. Great try there by him. Landers are just really poor, to think they have some really good players in their side and playing this poor!
76 @ Pietman:
Nou rook jy soos ‘n Franse Ysterbyter… hahahaha
64 @ Pietman:
Am well Piet. Just still struggling with the damn knee I knocked a few weeks back, otherwise I am always well.
When you back in the beautiful Cape?
Ai, ek moes kon langer slaap vanoggend, ek werk deesdae veels te hard en te lank tot laataand.
Landers penalty on the Reds 22, quick tap and go… and they fluff it
@ Puma:
Yup, on paper Landers look good, on grass they are shyte, those big names apart from Thorne are just plodding along.
Good morning everyone, home atlast.
Try Hosea Gear…
TMO
@ Puma:
What happened to Adam Thompson, still with Landers?
Good try… awarded
87 @ Pietman:
No, overseas!
Nou check Pypers! Vir wat? Duidelike drie man…
