@ grootblousmile:
LOL Rudi NP boet
@ Puma:
GM brudda,
Is it just me or was the reffing very poor in our match? Rob Louw was saying the ref was pathetic on twitter and that the Sharks were being nailed?
I am of the opinion after watching games where SA refs blow and games where Australasian refs blow that the policing of rucks and mauls are being blown very differently? that’s besides plain mistakes being made by refs
OK, now I can concentrate on the rugby and talk lekker to you okes…
@ grootblousmile:
Did you get my sms last night?
Tahs scrum, 5m from their own line under their sticks… as Force knock on attack
Tahs carry the ball over…. Force 5m scrum
Ok I am off, RT page just open and then closes all the time, so becoming a pain in my rear end. catch up when it gets better
Good morning guys
34 @ Sharks_forever:
Yes I did, was busy fighting the web hosts at the time, so could not reply.
32 @ Sharks_forever:
Most definitely as my neighbor who was at the game come to watch with me this morning asI was at a wedding yesterday. Thought the ref was not great nothing like our refs. Thought we misses 3 chances as well to score another 3 tries. But hey bro we won the, game and very pleased just feel we could have got the bonus point again. So far so very good for us this year. Also think Lweis (sp) is goin to be top class. Frans Steyn will push Jean very hard for his 12 jersey at the Boks as Fransie is playing dome great rugby. His defense was HUGE yesterday. Pleased Pat’s kicking was very good as well. Just wish we only had a bye after another couple of weeks. Hope we font lose this great momentum we have going.
Force penalty, slotted by Holmes.
Waratahs 22 / 14 Force

What a nightmare, stuff-up start to a rugby season.
The Stormers lose – to the Lions of all people.
2 from 7 on bru in Super Rugby.

Thank god the Proteas are on top in the cricket.

It was ok, but I feel we still miss something. Not sure what, we don’t look great, just good. But still winning with big margins. Maybe the sign of a good team.
Daft daft ipad
I said I am outside doing some things 
Great try!
Another try to Nick Cummins for the Force.
Waratahs 29 / 21 Force
That fullback of the force has some speed.
Hat trick for Israel Folau, Tahs!
Bad defence leads to a Waratahs try
