Tjorts!
Gooooooi Mielies, my vriend.
I think the Southern Kings have now scored as many tries as the Stormers, if not more….
Hell no, the Kings lead by far… 21 Tries for, as opposed to the Stormers only 17 tries for. Sharks have scored 1 solitary try more than the Kings.
@ grootblousmile:
190
some respect creeping in for the Kings team effort?
Luke s 1st start and he scores half the teams tries, eishhhh imagine he was fit all season.
Dam the Sharks complain about injuries…..
GBS your wrap of the weekend must have this heading. “Cheeky Kings led by Prince Luke save SA face” this weekend.
The Baby Boks scored 14 tries in their 92-27 victory over the senior Namibia side in Stellenbosch.
Last year at the exact same stage the top of the log was the Stormers with 49 points and bottom of the log was the Lions with 14
Now it is Brumbies 45 and Highlanders 14
