@ grootblousmile:
I see the USA speedster Carlin Isles scored against BlitzBoks within a minute of coming on as a substitute, he is fast apparently ran 10.13 in 100m, used to do Athletics short sprints 400m long jump…also played NFL Gridiron and hasnt been playing 7s for long. Have seen some highlights and as well as being quite fast he also looks like he has cottoned onto rugby quickly with good style of play, he is not the biggest player so 7s really works well for him but hey look at what wee Shane Williams achieved
Luke 2nd try , whats it with you people, if you dont like the guy , dont be like him. Keep your perspective and acknowledge great play. It is after all the game we support not the player.
Fark i hate the way people look up too so called icons/heroes, they only deliver a product/service, if its good i like.
@ grootblousmile:
Ja, kinderagtige optrede deur Lukas agter die doellyn, n toneel so reg uit ‘Planets of the Apes’.
87 @ grootblousmile:
What happened there with Watson GBS?
91 @ Bullscot:
Isles has played in a few HSBC Sevens World Series tournaments this 2012 / 2013 season.
He is freegin fast… but still has some to learn and seems to be a bit fragile on defence
@ superBul:
92
OK i am relaxed now, fok Luke en cheeky
94 @ Bullscot:
Arghh, Watson just being demonstratative behind the tryline… the twirp!
@ grootblousmile:
The odds are…..well I don’t have to tell you the odds…..so its a 6 pack….It also gives me a reason to visit you ou’s.
98 @ 4man:
Why did your Sharks lose against these Landers last week?
@ Bullscot:
Luke ran out into the goal area and showed his tonsils to the audience….his throat looks okay now, I had a good loog inside his gob!
@ Bullscot:
2nd half ON!
Met de maat, warmee gij meet, zal u werder gemeten worden.
Kings penalty…. on about the Landers 10m line
102 @ superBul:
Nou moet ons dan nie meet nie, maat!
Hehehe
Kings penalty, and Dwergie almost goes crazy on his whistle….
Kings speel goed vanaand.
Hoop Webster blaas volgende week die game tussen die Bulle en Landers, baie goeie ref ….
@ grootblousmile:
meet net fair,almal maak soms poephole van hulself, Kotser is beslis nie die erste arsehole nie.
Ahgggg vir my is dit makliker want ek was ook al daar deur.
Eendag vertel ek julle.
Een dink is vir seker, dit ontbreek nie aan entoesiasme in die Kings span nie, hulle speel met oorgawe. Skare is ook lekker opgesweep, nice rugby-atmosfeer.
Kyk, as die Bulle nie hierdie Lowlanders afslag volgende week nie.
95 @ grootblousmile:
Yeah GBS that defence may still be an issue with someone so new to the game and perhaps of his size but not really much tackling as the highlights invariably show the running and scoring tries, but still very impressive for someone to be performing at the top level of 7s after such a short time, maybe he shoul get some coaching tips on tackling from Gio Aplon. Anyway seems like you guys are watching a good game here.
107 @ superBul:
Sê my een ding… wat maak jy nou presies anders as om ons hier te meet… wat maak dit reg, maar ons mag nie vir Luke meet en swak bevind nie?
Dis jou opinie… dis ons opinie… dis waar dit kan bly….
Try, Du Preez for the Kings… and the Landers cop a Yellow to boot
Southern Kings 27 / 17 Highlanders
@ grootblousmile:
ja jy is reg meneer. Ek is jammer
Mooi Kings! Hulle kan dalk n bonuspunt kry hier vanaand.
Dalk nie n whitewash-naweek vir SA nie…. Landers n dooierige span teenoor die een wat teen die Sharks gespeel het.
Ontspan kerels, net ‘n game ! 😉
Kings is nou so opgesoup soos ‘n Ford op Jetfeul A1 !
@ grootblousmile:
Cos the played kak and forgot how to defend.
115: dink die Kings gaan nog een van die SA spanne klop, Cheetahs of Stormers.
Baie goeie drie daardie.
Tryyyyyyy Shaun Venter!
Jinne, ek gaan bier skuld… eishhhh
