@ grootblousmile:
Banjos. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy their music, but it’s more “Sunday afternoon mellow” than “Rugby match adrenaline”.
England getting desperate in the cricket.
Got Trott turning his arm over now.
Once again Bezuidenhout in then backline Varks it up.
Geez he’s had a ‘mare of a game.
Both these sides obviously believe in helter skelter hell
@ Stormersboy:
Yeah great fighting music they play in downtown Joeys.
Lovely try
Try Johann Sadie… Staat bonuspoint up
Nice, Sadie finished well.
I dispair of this F’ing Lions side at times.
When will this c#nting union employ a defensive coach?
Cheetahs 27 / 19 Lions
Great conversion kick.
Bonus point for the Cheaters. Nice conversion by Watts.
“…Daar’s ‘n lelike ding wat sy kop uitsteek……in Ellis Park…”
135 @ Stormersboy:
Ja, daar’s ‘n hele paar lelike koppe & poppe ook…. hehehe
134 @ Stormersboy:
Is that spelling of the Cheetahs a Freudian slip?
20 Minutes to go in the match
Tiaan Meyer on for Two Step.
139 @ Scrumdown:
Should go better now…
Immediately Meyer seems to give crisper service.
Not straight into the scrum by Piet van Zyl, Free Kick Lions… tap and go
Lions penalty on about the Staat 22
Players slipping all over the place.
Surely last night’s rain couldn’t still be lingering?
Stokkies broken… he’s now twiggs Hanekom
Try to Mustaph…. Er Willie Britz.
Another good try
Try Willie Britz!
@ Scrumdown:
No just being a bit Ironic.
@ grootblousmile:
LOL yes I was referring to the Cheaters Tight Head.
Getting popped and then scoring a penalty for it.
145 @ grootblousmile:
Bwahahaha.
If he’s not careful they’ll make Rooibos out of him!
