Great to see A. Coetzee back. Just hope he stays injury free because think he is one of our best fb in SA?
@ nga puhi:
Hehehe
Lions penalty inside their own 22, a relieving one I would say
@ Puma:
good coaching Pooms, they have found a bit of structure imho,
good game so far, enjoying it… such is life at the moment, first game of super rugby I have seen this weekend.

You have to pay your subscriptions mate…
Saders are lacking a decent 2nd five.
too much shovelling and not enough straight running.

Fark, I gave Fern warnings and warnings and warnings… and no Yellows.
I work very sparingly with my Cards… but when I eventually give them, it is a straight Red, forever!
Remember Stan, that knuckleheaded and abrasive soldier who supports the Bulls?
… I kicked him out on his gat, one time!
@ Gumboots:
got the foxtel boet, watching this game now. cant turn down work at the moment, might have to move to SA and take up reffing, hear it pays bloody well 😀
as Bulls supporters go, GBS is alright
I think.

@ Puma:
will catch the replay on tuesday mate.
tackled without the ball surely?
Lions come within 5m… then give away a penalty!
Someone please bring Berry on
@ nortierd:
😆 how they dump the best ref is mind boggling…
@ Gumboots: 🙂 strapping young man mate (should keep the card in the pocket for a few moments at least) lol
@ grootblousmile: my opregte verskoning meneer

Apology accepted, in Afrikkans nogal too!

beating me on bru last year was an anomaly then?
eish, seems this Marius knows how bad his contemporaries have been and is trying to even things up
or does he just not like the Leeus?

@Pietman and Gummi
I spoke to Mrs. Berry snr and she assured me young Stuart is a fine upstanding churchgoing citizen with not a nary a crooked bone in his body
@ nga puhi:
the first sentence was meant for Nortie Gummy, still not used to the changes on the site
@ nortierd:
same congregation as Steve and Bryce? 😀
