    @ Ben:
    NIe terwyl dit Strompies of BUlle is nie lol, hardloop rugby is nie in hul afrigtings boekie nie :mrgreen: 😆

    Nou watter sport sielkundige gaan vir ons ‘n boek skryf,

    HOE OM NIE TE CHOKE IN DIE LAASTE 10 MINUTE NIE !

    @ Ben: Ben glo my dis eintlik n grrot problem in ons sport, Ek glo vas dat vir die meeste woprd ons spelers in sport nie reg mentally voorberei nie.

    @ Sharks_forever: Jou ou spannetjie speel ook nou nie die wêreld aan die brand nie. My span het dit darem al so 3 keer die ding gedoen, en baie driee gedruk. Jou span moet dit nog doen, so kom ons kyk wat gebeur. 😉

    @ Ben:
    Ja ons kak spannetjie is darem gereeld onder die top drie drukkers in die kompetisie Happy-Grin

    @Pietman
    Ongelooflike wedstryd gewees, fantastiese laaste 10 minute.
    Oor die gemis skoppery, ek se jou, dis nie net 5 meter Peter wat so vrot skop nie, Gary van Aswegen het in die Vodacom Cup Saterdag 1 uit 7 driee in die eerste helfte verdoel. Die tweede helfde het hy nog mis geskop.
    Lyk nie goed nie, ek het vir CharlesM die naweek gevra wie ons skop afrigter in die Kaap is, lyk my nie ons het eers een nie

    Hy is amper so n groot waste of money soos Taute.
    Verlede jaar het hy van Japan af gekom met sakke vol yen om op die beseringsbank te sit en ballas bak.
    Wragtig kry hulle hom die jaar weer.
    Daar is regtig nie pille vir sulke domgeit nie.

    Die Pukke 9 was die beter scrummie vir my, maar weet jy, na so n comeback moet n man maar hoed af haal vir al 23 Ikeys.
    Dis nou guts en glory daai

    Cheers vir eers almal
    Ek gaan nou lekker slaap, goeie einde vir die dag gewees

    What a good advert for Rugby.

    Two totally contrasting styles of play, both highly effective when executed well, and both attractive to most spectators.

    Poor Johnny Welthagen must be sick to the pit of hi stomach. It certainly looked that way immediately after the game.

    Armand vd Merwe had agreat game and for me was probably my MOTM. (Don’t know who actually got it.)

    The Lions need to grab both vd Merwe and Luther Obie post haste and get them involved at a higher level.

    Well done Ikey’s. A never say die attitude won the day, even though a brain implosion handed it to you guys.

    Having said the positives above, I thought that ONCE AGAIN, the officials were ABSOLUTELY CRAP beyond belief.

    Something has to be done about the total stuff up that is Rugby officiating in this country.

    Next we’ll have a player tripping over his boot laces and the nearest opposition player getting yellow card.

    TMO should stand for “Too Much Opium”, ’cause I’m sure that they’re all on something.

    Had house guests arrive during the rugby! What a blindside… Anyways popped on with 8 minutes remaining and saw my alma mater was down and out 31 – 15 or something like that. When they left and I decided to check the final score, I was stunned with what I saw. I will read the comments to see what I missed. WELL DONE IKEYS!!!!

    @ Gumboots:

    i’m sure he can source the last 8 minutes or so… I studied there in the 1800’s so I’m sure he will make a plan Overjoy
