Pity you did not play in our Bru Pool (too late now to join, unfortunately).
As is I’m No 1 in our Rugby-Talk Pool, so I need the result to go my way too!

Thanks, yes, looking forward, but the packing and getting to the airport 120 km away through this traffic are a bit of a schlepp, I tell you. And coming from these parts with Obama in SA at the moment you can expect airport security to be at a premium; think I should board naked to save me the effort of all those body searches…Those Islamic nutjobs in SA did me no favours,Islamic Lawyers Assoc. and that other lot threatening the Prez of the US, eishhh!
@ nortierd:
en ek glo ons behoort hulle te klop. vlok kom ons se ek hoop so, na hierdie seisoen kan n mens niks verseker vat nie as dit kom by die haaie nie. 
Good morning bloubal……. oops ek meen stormpoppie
Lions players running out… and the crowd goes gagga!
More burgermeester,
22 @ Pietman:
Too much info.. scary thought!

Time for the Anthem…
@ Sharks_forever:
Ongelukkig ken ek daai gevoel al te goed die jaar
Ek dink julle spelers gaan se te hel met al die side shows, kom ons wys almal
Ek het die Sharks gekies met n redelike hoe telling, so ek hoop die manne doen dit
@ Pietman:
Good morning old fart , hope you are well and on that plane?
