I went and commented on one of Sport24’s articles about Victor Matfield’s return to the Bulls.
Wow, how degenerative the comments there are!
We can be so proud of Rugby-Talk and our community here, about what we’ve achieved and about the way we conduct our business here.
Really looking forward to the Six Nations games today and tomorrow!
@ grootblousmile:
haha ek het gesien, nee kyk. Jy kan nie mense binne die berg va mordor uithaal nie.
2 @ MacroBull:
Moosa, daar is van daai mens wattie lekker is innie koppie nie.
Was interessant.
Wat meer interressant was, ons het nog so paar geregistreerde lede bygekry hier op R-T
nee wat, news24 is maar n plek waar jocks wat skool mis heen gaan om hul daddy issues uit te kry.
Dit werk vir news24, ek dink hulle maak ‘n kaaaak baie geld.
4 @ MacroBull:
Neewat, News24 se websites maak nie baie geld nie.
My vrou het 23 jaar vir hulle gewerk en die probleem vir ‘n groot organisasie is dat hulle groot overheads het, terwyl die websites nie daardie tipe geld kan genereer nie.
Hulle printed publikasies is hul hoofstroom inkomste en die printed media kry wêreldwyd nou swaar. Baaaie rtrenchments en merging en kleiner maak van staff nou.
Hello quick lunch time here, in Polokwane it’s Bulls 19/14 Lions a few minutes into 2nd half. 3 tries for Bulls and 2 for Lions.
Hellooooooooooooo

Ciao a tutti!

17 @ Just For Kicks:
Farking web hosts!
How are you Turky? Good year so far?
@ grootblousmile:yup, the Gator keeps popping up!!!
Fark, I hate this Welsh commentator. Give me Bobby or Bros any day.
Italy really taking to Wales at the moment, Wales need to up their game a lot if they want to win their 3rd 6N in a row, that’s for sure
Wales 10 / 3 Italy
Better by Wales. They really need to assert their authority in the 2nd half
Try Scott Williams, Wales
@ Just For Kicks:
Sorry for taking so long to respond. Site is impossible today. Have been unable to access and post or respond to comments.
Both tries have come from simple Italian mistakes, but Wales have the score on the board and that will give them the confidence they need
Italy really making a game of it. Controversial try, but a very good one and has put them right back in the game
Wales 17 / 8 Italy
48 Minutes gone.
Web hosts better get their act together, they have spoilt this game for us
