@ Scrumdown:
Agree on Franco, pity his lock partner was not up to it.

The Lions 4 lock from last week was injured Piet. They started Willie at 4 lock he plays better at 8.
Fark, 2 draws out of 4 games for Province…. can you believe it!
Aangesien my Leeus teruggekom het van nerens nie, sal ek dit nou met die Kaptein bespreek, gholf kyk, en MISKIEN, so bietjie onder die invloed van alkohol word.
Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot.
How many got thst one right on Superbru?
Cheers all.

Tjorts!
I picked the Lions by 5 on Bru.. so I’m just barely inside the margin points
Lions pick up 3 points from this game. They could have picked up 5 had they not let those easy tries through at the start. Cronje man, he should not have done a quick tap and go on his own. Should have allowed his captain to say what he wanted. Should have take the 3 points there and then as Lions had nothing on the board then. Always need to take the 3 points early in the game.
Anyhow for my Sharkies tomorrow night. Hope we can win that one. Had plenty rain here now and it is forecast for overcast tomorrow. So I doubt any side will be picking up 4 tries. They could just doubt it in this weather.
Okay good night everyone. Going to watch some tv now. Catch up tomorrow.
@ grootblousmile:
@ Pietman:
Britz is not a lock.
Ackermann must stop farting around.
Start with Meyer (or Bondisio when fit) at 9, Britz, or (Whitely when fit) and a real lock.
The rest of the youngsters are developing nicely.
The Lions have to start playing for more than 60 minutes out of 80.
184 @ Scrumdown:
I picked Lions by 9
Cheers everyone. Catch up tomorrow.
wp extremely lucky to get that last penalty.
Vok, nog eenetjie.
