56
i understand now that i have a honest job too
59 @ superBul:
The attacking team seems to have most of the rights in the modern game, that’s how it is…
Lions penalty, binding at the scrum…
Pumas had the upper hand in that scrum though…
Lions 23 / 17 Pumas
Pumas penalty… hooter has long gone
Lions 23 / 20 Pumas

i feel they MUST find a fairer interpretation
67 @ superBul:
That’s why I advocate ball in hand, possession rugby in this modern game, because you simply have more rights, more rights at the tackle, more rights at the maul, more rights regarding the offside lines… more rights at the breakdown points.
It’s almost as if you have extra players on hand when you go forward with ball in hand… that’s the nett effect of the rules as they are now.
@ grootblousmile:
dis seker piss koud daar in die panne, hier is dit bleddie winderig met n kouerige gevoel
69 @ superBul:
Die weer is plain flokken onaangenaam hier van laatmiddag af… die wind waai die blare rond, dis koud en mistroostig!
@ grootblousmile:
68
die reels maak rugby al minder n krag spel, stoei en veg vir n bal was altyd deel van die game, nou staan heeltemal te veel rond
2nd Half ON!
71 @ superBul:
Ja, dis gewis…. en dan maak hulle die tekkels nog sagter en sagter ook.
Nou gaan die scrums se hit ook mider belangrik word met die feit dat die voorrye gaan moet bind, vooraf… soos skole freegin rugby
@ grootblousmile:
op die ou end kyk ons sewes met meer as 7 in n kant
74 @ superBul:
Ja… of behoede ons… soos League
ek sien die Stormers het weer verloor , was hulle darem beter op die aanval? Het Jantjes goed gespeel?
76 @ superBul:
Hulle was sommer teleurstellend… en Jantjies was vir my maar bra kak
@ grootblousmile:
hulle leef nou seker net om die Bulls te bedonner
maar as ons in elk geval iewers wil kom sal ons maar net eenvoudig wen, wen , wen. Geen gunsie aanvaar nie
78 @ superBul:
Janee, ons moet net anhou wen, met ons toekoms in ons eie hande.
Wil bittergraag hê ons moet 1ste of 2de eindig op die Combined Log!
Pumas defensive scrum
Lions penalty… on about the 10m line…. bit further… shot at goal
Lions 26 / 20 Pumas
So, who’s going to walk away with the Pronutro Cup here tonight?
There is a nice surprise for some of these Pumas players in action in the Vodacom Cup final tonight. Here is the story…http://www.sarugby.co.za/article.aspx?category=sarugby&id=1931694
lousy for them to announce the team before this final
The SA President’s XV squad, chosen by the national selectors, includes 11 players from the Steval Pumas, who topped the log in the North Section and subsequently progressed to the Vodacom Cup final. There are also five players from the Regent Boland Cavaliers, four from the Leopards and Border Bulldogs respectively, two from the SWD Eagles and one each from the Down Touch Griffons and Valke.
20 Minutes to go… only 6 points in it
Lions penalty again… again on the 10m line, this one smack bang in front
I am not impressed by the discipline showed by the Pumas tonight, maybe some stage fright
Pumas penalty… deep in the Lions 22
Lions 29 / 20, by the way
