89 @ McLook:
Hello McLook hope you doin well, its 7 minutes past 10 this side
87 @ Bullscot:
Hello BullyBeef!
6 minutes. Reckon the Blues are relatively safe now.
@ grootblousmile:
Is reg, jy moet kom. Besig om die huis op die dorp te verf en reg te kry, gaan twee maande daar wees, sommer stapafstand vanaf die saloon, so die spietkoppe sal ons nie pla nie, hehehehe!
Maar ek staan lank oor in JHB, sal jou laat weet van die vlugtye, kan ons dalk n ‘versie saamsing’ daar oppie lughawe.
94 @ Pietman:
Vir-steek-seker!
3 minutes to go. Blues got this one.
McLook are you still busy with coaching over there?
1 Minute to go… Blues will definately win
Last Rebels penalty at the scrum
@ grootblousmile:
Hello GBS looks a bit chilly your side, of course for us it would be a nice mild day
Try Jason Woodward, Rebels
Wow rebels scoring a great set piece try after the final whistle.
100 @ Bullscot:
Hehehehe
Yip, a bit cold here.
Final Score: Blues 36 / 32 Melbourne Rebels
@ grootblousmile:
Vrou pronk nou, sy het die Blues met 3 en die bonus gevat…..
NOU vir die Stormers!
Gosh that was a good finish by Rebels then, seems like this was a nice game to watch especially for neutrals
Morning all
enthralling encounter, except them faarking Blues cost me bonus points with their sloppy defending in the last play! I can seriously dislike them for that.
Go Stormers!
@ Pietman:
I had Blues by 10, but thanks to faaarking Ranger, I have only 1 measly point to show for my efforts lol
108 @ 4man:
Hello Sammajoor, jou blikswerkater!
I’m just, just inside the bonus point limit on Bru with my pick of Blues by 8…
@ Cheetah4eva:
Hello Cheetah hows it going pal? Long time since we been online here same time it seems, you must be real pleased with your Cheetahs performance so far.
Let’s mosey on over to the Tahs / Stormers thread….
109 @ Cheetah4eva:
Hello buddy… commisserations with the Cheetahs loss last night.
@ 4man:
Sammajoor, hoekom het jy default?
Ek is Julie daar onder, jy op Kwaggasdrift? Indien wel, dan bring ek weer gou vir jou en Antonie n paar ‘pearly lemons’ en n kan wyn plaastoe…
@ grootblousmile:
Good and you GBS, Jip, was dissapointing, but they were flat, and they didn’t play it smart, trying to run from your own 22 was dumb. They also should have kept Piet van zyl on, sarel’s defence was fragile.
We have a tough game next week, which could derail our season, if they don’t get their shit together pronto. Bulls looking ominous!
@ Cheetah4eva:
Daniller en Francis was poor.They broke the momentum that Coenie and those built up so well…
Daniller was shyte for the first time in a while, I meant to say….
@ Pietman:
Jip, agree with you there, I also thought Brüssow had a blinder. Wrong game plan employed. Kick to the corners and maul them canes to death would have been the better option.
Francis was woeful, and they sure missed a player like Goosen last night.
