    172 @ Pietman:

    Is Goosen going to Racing Metro?

    Jeez we losing all our young talent. Then he has struggled with injury so while heis not injured and playing probably good to take a offer and go play there. He has not played well this year really struggling to find that good form he had before all the injuries.

    Staat forward pass, another Force scrum, just outside their 22

    Johnny du Ploy lol…. he was not too bad.. quite a natural but sadly he liked the brandy and klippies a bit too much, just like old Kallie Knoetzee.

    Time is fast running out for the Staat

    The Problem with the Cheetahs is that when Goosen plays they want him to be the attacking player to take the cheetahs forward and dont make enough use of Willie le roux

    Very interesting that, yes, good observation mb!

    Maybe they wanted a fair contest?

  • 193

    Of course the Force scrum goes down for a reset to eat up time

  • 194

    Seconds to go… all the Force need do is get their scrum ball… they do

  • 195

    @ robzim:
    Yep, not that lethal I would say but stir clear
    remember drinking with him at the 4 Seasons veranda in Durb before a fight against Pierre Cotzier(?)

    @ robzim:
    Not only the Klippies, Johnny also sniffed a bit…not Singletons Mentol, the Omo version…

    “Johnny and Pierre Coetzer at Sun City! That was one moerse fight”

    That was the good old days…nowadays our best heavyweights wont even last 3 rounds against a decent middleweight.

  • 202

    Cheetahs did ok here, just couldn’t finish off their driving mauls.

  • 203

    @ nortierd:
    I took the Cheetahs by 7 with Peyper and Shawn Valdsman in control
    Where that Chris Pollock popped up without any warning? any idea

  • 204

    Npt a grat bru picks for me. Think I had Cheetahs also oourse had Sharks by two. Damn if we got all our kicks over wcould have been spot on there… 😎

    not sure
    maybe the Force appealed against him officiating?
    although we know he is a Shark supporter, I’m sure he would have “helped” the Cheetahs today, we know they are the feeder team of the Sharks, so he must have a kinship with them as well
