61 @ Sharks_forever:
Why?
And a good morning everyone else,
@ Pietman:
Donner dis warm. Mrs Stormersboy would be one grump lady.
We installed air con at our home a while back. The improved mood is well worth the monthly bill!
Canes penalty on the Saders 10m line and they can re-take the lead here as Barrett lines up
@ grootblousmile:
I have indeed, it’s gonna be real tough bro, 1st game on tour, against a Blues team, that have found their mojo. I wouldn’t mind a bulls win, I just can’t see it on form and history. That said, rugby is a funny old game.
Hurricanes 9 / 7 Crusaders
Why not?? lol
Wife keeps me busy lol
67 @ Cheetah4eva:
Bulls have won 5 of the last 6 first games when going on tour…
Yet another Canes penalty… Barrett attempting a long one this time
This fantasy league thing is vexing me big time. As far as I can tell you need to pick players who will score tries or be on a winning team with regularity.
So I started off picking players from teams who are likely to win most of their games, such as the Crusaders (not really working out as planned yet) and then within that team, to pick the players that are most likely to get over the line with some regularity. Like Fruean, one of my (max) 3 picks for the ‘Saders. That’s working out about as well as my Superbru is at the moment.
Over.
Hurricanes 12 / 7 Crusaders
@ leon:
Sien jy ook, hierdie ouens is veel meer ingestel op aanval met bal in hand, hulle verdediging is egter vrotsig in vergelyking met ons spanne. die Stormers bv druk min driee, maar hulle gee bokkerol weg ook….
Jy sal onthou afrigters soos Kitch Christie en ook Jake het vas geglo verdediging wen toetse, soos bewysin beide wereldbeker-finale wat ons gewen het. Ons het nie in een van hulle n enkele drie gedruk nie, so….?
@ Sharks_forever:
Morning uncle.
Lemoenetyd
Question; what happened to the invasion by the Sharks supporters? At a stage there were plenty of them on this site? Right now they are about as exciting as the Stormers attack.
@ Stormersboy:
Good morning Junior lol, hows the Mayor of Durbanville?? lol
More more kerels het julle nie werk om te doen nie?
Nice to see the referees decided this year to ruin games with guessing at a scrum. Change the scenery from guessing at the rucks
@ Stormersboy:
On the other hand, 55C over here in the dry heat is more bearable than 35C in Cape Town!
@ Loosehead:
We got tired of you crying all the time after losing
Joking boet, just busy, not sure anout Pooms, maybe Pooms has knee_moania again
@ Pietman:
Jip sien dit. Ek het vanoggend ‘n interresante program op tv gesien. Volgens die program is die span wat die meeste met die bal hardloop gewoonlik die span wat verloor. Die span wat die meeste skop wen gewoonlik. Soos hulle dit noem, met rugby is dit ‘foot over hand’
@ Loosehead:
and you are predictable as Kaplans whistle
@ Pietman:
Gm to our local desert rat on a camel 😆 gaat dit goed pieta??
Ek onthou, op Karasburg het ons aan die begin van die rugbyseisoen by die jaarliks landbouskou in Maart altyd koue Hansa gedrink halftyd, nog moosa warm hierdie tyd van die jaar daar in die suide van Nam!
@ grootblousmile:
That may be, but how many of them were against their bogey team the Blues?
And hiyas Bliksem, Leon, and Cheetah for never.
@ Sharks_forever:
I’m good thanks, looking forward to the Rugga. Enjoying the coolness. You?
@ Sharks_forever:
Yoh ou Haaibal, gaan dit ok?
