    @ grootblousmile:

    As I just said we got beaten fair and square but to suggest none of the players were suffering from something is a bit stupid when you could see them puking on the sideline.

    I also know some of them, Hendricks, Mulder, Hannes, Johan …but they were in the green and gold doing the victory round while you guys were in the crapper Happy-Grin

    @ BrumbiesBoy:

    Yip quite a few were struck down by it but still managed to play, unfortunately then they had to listen to Luyt and they all puked again.

    Not sure where the Suzy story came from think it was in Laurie Mains head that one… Happy-Grin

    It was definitely only 5 of them that ventured outside their hotel to eat and picked up a bug from the seafood they ate at Village Walk on the Thursday night and must have past it on eventually to the rest of the team.

    211 @ NZINCHINA:
    I’m not saying some did not have a bug.

    At least we fairly blame a ref for 2011, whereas you guys blame a mistery girl called Suzie… hehehe

    Forget about it, it’s history.. just “Looks at the Score Board”, as Boy Louw used to say!

    Yes, some of them sick the morning already, I heard.

    How do you pass food poisoning on – human centipede? 😆

  • 218

    @ grootblousmile:

    Nobody blames Suzie in NZ, it was a case of mild to moderate food posioning hence the vomitting on the sideline.

    OK, that game “Bugs” you… we get it!

    Over to the Tahs / Canes thread

    The Slut, Suzie von Dronkelaar, was The Executor, but not the real Villain.

    SA Rugby, with Louis Leyt as it’s Fuhrer. These were the Villains.
    Gone were the days when a Home Town Referee could guarantee a Home Town win……………………………………so they got low, real low.

    The Lions were p1sspoor and have failed to learn from earlier errors in the competition.

    It is well known that the Chiefs play VERY intense Rugby for 10 minutes either side of half time and for the last 10 minutes of the game.

    The Lions failed to react at those times and paid the penalty.

    The Lions have regressed since the beginning of the season and can no longer use the excuse that the players are “young” or “inexperienced”.

    At some stage the Union has to admit that they are just not at the required level in this competition and haven’t been for at least 10 years.

    At least the Kings last year played with fire in EVERY game.

    I was utterly p1ssed off with Minnie’s attempt at a tackle for the first(?) Chiefs try.

    50 games se moer. with that attitude I’d rather you weren’t on the pitch.

    OK. Off the soapbox. Time to get ready for golf.

    Enjoy the 7’s everyone.
