    Wales to win tomorrow, you heard it here first

    Peyper was IMHO ABSOLUTELY ABYSMAL tonight.

    Lions didn’t deserve to win, but player 24 made a difference for the home team.

    Dirty Peyper and Jakes underhanded climax. A movie by Hustler Productions?

  • 128

    Skielike geelkaart aan die einde = bonuspunt vir Sharks aan die einde, wonder hoe kry hul dit elke keer reg so aan die einde, het seker ‘n geheime wapen ? 😉

    Ha ha
    For sure, photo of Jannie on the cover of the DVD………no, that’s for the playboy edition of the big tit collection

    Certain crickets say they wish that they could roll up a pitch and take it with them, I think the Sharks wish they can roll up Peyper in their luggage and travel all over with him
    No chance of a slip up with him in their corner

  • 131

    At least Mallet and the studio is showing the world Peyper is a cheat

    Congratulations to the Sharks and their fans on a solid win… Your team is looking unstoppable.

    Have to say that call by Pyper on the Mvov tackle was extremely poor reffing… All the law says is that

    e) Dangerous Tackling

    point 4) “A player must tackle an opponent whose feet are off the ground.”

    It says nothing about being in the air first or the second player having any responsibility to ensure safety of anything…

    An absolutely rubbish call… which ended the late fighting surge by the Lions…

    Not saying the Sharks shouldn’t have won… They were clearly the better team… but that shouldn’t stop us calling a spade a $%^& shovel on bad reefing…

  • 133

    eish… sorry guys…

    point 4) “A player must NOT tackle an opponent whose feet are off the ground.”

    Scrumdown… you should really read your mail!

    Are you out of Edit Mode so I can tidy up, please!

    Peyper is ‘n Sharks bonuspunt masjien.

  • 136

    Goeie wenne vir Bulle en Sharks, Stormers ongelukkig, Leeus en Cheetahs nie so gelukkig nie.

    Ahhhhh, I’ve re-taken my TOP spot on the SuperBru Rugby-Talk Super Rugby 2014 pool…

    Still 2 Geldenhuys in the 2 top positions… me (No 1) and cousin Atta (No 2)!!

    Whoop, whoop!

    I had the margin for this game Spot-ON!
    Had 3 other matches where I got the margin point within 5
    Had one further game’s winner correct
    Only had one result completely wrong as I picked the Rebels and the Force won comfortably.

    So, 5 out of 6 correct picks of which 1 was spot-on, 3 within good margins and another correct result… I call that a good Bru weekend!

    It’s nothing personal with Peiper, he just carried out his instructions from SARU
    And he has done so for years, add Joubert, Jonker Juftha and Pro Legota to that list, what would you get?
    🙂

    @ Hondo:
    The hyped up team, the team who is the press favorite and the buzz around a team always sway the Refs preconceived idea of how they play. Not sure if my statement makes sense in English , but i really get so upset when a ref blows two sets of rules.

    Crusaders/McCaw was like that, it seems that without Carter and McCaw they dont get that same recognition.

    I hope i never end up in court with a rugby ref as the Judge.

    Mvovo also milked that incident nicely for Pratt Peyper.

    The same Peyper who awarded the Kinks three or four penalties on our tryline after the hooter in Canberra last year…

    He certainly appears to have his favorites.

    Geluk, on that points GBS, I see more than 90 players are registered and in the pool, yet we never see the majority post or take part in discussions.
    It’s usually the same people who participate in the threads, waar is al die mense?

    Dis jammer dat hulle nie ook saam praat nie.
    Ek het ook met die Rebels die pot heeltemal mis gesit, en met beide die Bulls en Sharks se driee in die laaste second es het ek my margin punte op daai games verloor. Ek is so ver agter, ek het gehoop vir n GSp en al 6 wenne en margins net om bietjie spoed op te tel

    @ superBul:
    There was no doubt of Peiper swinging it for the Shark yesterday!
    The Bulls (and and so the Stormers) will go stronger this season because the re-instating of the Neutral Referees system means they have to rely on themselves ONLY to win their home games

    @ BrumbiesBoy:
    Certain players are ‘protected species’, in that situation any SA referee would have blew the whistle regardless 😉

    @ Hondo:

    You are tripping yourself up and have just fallen flat on your face.

    @ Hondo:

    “Certain players are ‘protected species’.”

    Name them!
