Howzit everyone,
fFinallyback from Joburg been a long day somissed the Rugby this morning and the ciricket. Seems we doing well here in the cricket today two wickets that’s great. Come on Proteas.
Using my iPad damn man it is useless to use blogging just thanes what I have typed….haha
Again it does it. Will gio log on my PC in the study.
282, 283 & 284 @ Puma:
Those type of things happen when you use an iStruggle Pad !
Check out the Fotos I’ve put up on this thread.
Okay in my study now. Much easier to blog from my pc here.
See the Chiefs beat the Saders. Never recorded it just read it here quick. See Saders missed 21 points by missed goals. Pity otherwise I would have collected some bru points…lol.
285 @ grootblousmile:
Ja man, I make enough typos on my pc let alone a ipad that changes everything. Not great to use to blog with either.
Just seen those photos and they are brilliant.
Nice start by the Proteas with the new ball, now we just have to keep that noose tight around their proverbial necks
276 @ grumpy:
Go back to where Mikey has left that message on sarugby and tell him to come here. Put up our site address. Rugby-Talk.com
Parnell looks like he’s picked up a yard or two of pace, and a new radar too!
Hell, the Blomme have let 24 runs past them without taking a wicket…. come now Blomme, man!
281 @ gunther:
Howzit Gunther,
Saw you logged on here last night and said welcome here to RT. Think you might have missed my post. So again welcome to this great site and it is good to see you here bud.
@ grootblousmile:
So will not be able to blog during our game or the Stormers/Lions game.
We going out later to dinner so wont blog during the Bulls/Lions game and tomorrow going to a wedding damn man, who gets married here in Durbs when the Sharks are gonna play?
How did the Chiefs and Saders go? See Saders kicker missed 7 penalties. That is a hell of a lot of points missed otherwise they would have won no doubt. Now there goes my bru already and the season has only started…
293 @ Puma:
Correction. Bulls/Cheetahs game.
293 @ Puma:
Tyler Blyendaal missed 5 kicks at goal in a row, did not slot ONE!
Tom Taylor missed 2 from 4.
So yeah, it’s 21 points.
@ Puma:
Yip, good to see Gunther here, looking forward to some of his legendary comments here on RT! Just wait until Katman arrives, he and Gunther in tandem will be a laugh a minute. Great stuff!
Well done to AB and Duminy see they both made a century and saved our butts. Pleased to see Duminy back batting well. Never thought he would when he came on and he proved me wrong.
296 @ Pietman:
For sure. Gunter and Katman together have a brilliant sense of humour. Pity Heavens Game does not register here, he has a really brilliant sense of humour though many of the Stormer supporters and ABs don’t appreciate him, but he is bloody funny.
@ Puma:
Actually Faf and Elgar started the damage, stabilized the innings when we were down and out on 11/2.
295 @ grootblousmile:
Well that is a lot of missed kicks and missing 21 points then they don’t deserve to win I suppose. Was hoping as I had them on bru.
