Bulle goed op aanval na ‘n paar fases, nader aan doellyn, net een probleem … daar is nie ‘n skrummie om die bal verder te vat nie. Naam van die skrummie: Rudy Paige.

Met so ‘n skakelpaar het elke blou bul ondersteuner ‘n …huis vol geduld nodig.

En, toe mis Fouche ‘n skop voor die pale ook.

29 @ Scrumdown:

Yes understand its a large stadium just that Joburg is the largest city in the country and have plenty Lions supporters as we saw with the relegation game against the Kings. In that game it was just about fullhouse and now they sitting very well up on the log just thought there would be more supporters there.

So far this season Faf is SA best scrumhalf.

Oh dear Reds in for a try.
