@ grootblousmile:
Sien jou more, ek dien hulle saai dit 08:00 hier uit
To the English speaking folk… sorry, we maybe got a bit carried away with the Afrikaans… but it was nice to have a good old reunion with Victoriabok.
Promise tomorrow during the game we will do the English thing a bit more… hehehe
63 @ grootblousmile:
Ahhh that’s ok then, have just had a quick glance through some of the days proceedings and started wondering whether you were rebranding as rugby-gesels 🙂
Hellllooooooooooo friends, muppits, moepels & mopkoppe!
What a fine day… and how wonderful to live this life!
You ready for the rugby?
Gooooooooo Landers!
(Think the Saders will easily win though)
Goooooooooo Lions!
(Although I’ve picked the Wallabies on SuperBru)
Goooooooooooo Sharks!
Goooooooooooooooo Bulls!
Goooo Cheetahs!
… and of course, Gooooooooooo Blitzbokke!
64 @ Bullscot:
Howzit Bully!
Sorry man… for all the Afrikaans, but you know what, we mostly blog in English here… and that bit of Afrikaans conversation just shows that we have diversity here and that we’re not afraid to use our mother tongues here either.
You’ll find that as soon as a few English bloggers arrive, most of the Afrikaans dudes will accommodate and switch over to English, even when responding to a fellow Afrikaans oke… so that EVERYBODY is in on the conversation…
Talking about Rugby-Gesels…. flows easily off the tongue, does’nt it… Maybe we should coin that phrase, capture it, make it our own here on RT and also use it in addition to what we already have…
Crusaders players coming out onto the pitch
Morning all, morning GBS,top of the morning to you, here’s to a great day of sport – canceled everything except breakfast and lunch in preparation!
Hosea Gear comes out for his 100th Super Rugby match….and then the Landers come out.
I want the Landers to win this, simply because I do not want the Crusaders high on the Logs!
Game ON!
68 @ Just For Kicks:
Top of the morn, Kickers…
Lovely day here in Gauteng… no wind, no clouds… sun is happy…
Great day for rugby!
Saders penalty and a shot at goal by Dan Carter.
@ grootblousmile: The promise of rain here has evaporated, and we could be in for a nice day too – Bully is that high looking good?

Ciao a tutti!
75 @ nortierd:

@ grootblousmile:
yep, spoke to VB yesterday via mail
Skoppie was going ballistic last night about the people coming over to this site
I’ve hardly had time to log on anywhere this week
Stuck at Waterkloof all week, but at least the man has landed yesterday
Got today off, no movement there, tomorrow it’s back and then it’s going to be a long day
Slade misses… eish!
@ Just For Kicks:
yep, the team may be weak, but the supporters are still strong
tonight we stuff the Cheetah’s up
