    When SA beat Argentina later on this weekend.

    They will lead the points Table of the RC.

    How unnatural is that?

    You Okes better download the table/print it off/enlarge x 20 and tape it to your bedroom ceilings.

    Because the shit will hit the fan soon enough.

    We will be on 5 log points, 3 more than you, and we will have more tries
    Life is good and natural balance restored Wink

    was the same last year

  • 34

    Caner the Abstainer!

  • 35

    Great defence by vd Walt stopped a certain try but in doing so gave away the penalty which BA now use to get a try

  • 36

    Half time BB 7/5 BA (poor conversion attempt)

  • 37

    Meyer has not said “Amazing” once!

    Hello Mainstay Cane!

    Buddie, come support the Bokke with us now man… for this game, you know you’re a Half-Honourable Saffa by now after blogging with us all these years!

    So, what do you say… fair request, hey?

    I’ll make you a deal, I will support the All Blacks every time against Argentina and against the Wallabies, if you support the Springboks every time against Argentina and against the Wallabies. That is a totally fair swop, not so?

    Come… do it!

  • 39

    Ah no BA score under the posts must be the winning score with only a few minutes left

  • 40

    Cheetahs 29 – 15 Griquas

  • 41

    @ Snoek:

    Thank you Snoek.
    No commiserations necessary.
    A Draw was a fair result.
    In fact we, (NZ), MAY have been VERY lucky to get a draw.

    Both Teams will get better from here.
    This was and extremely tough and physical Test Match. Not pretty, not even mildly attractive. But if you had a Team in this Test………………… it was enthralling.

    BB 7/12 BA – 90 seconds left

  • 43

    Another try for the Argentines – today just not going our way 🙁

    Damn, only went Cheetahs by 5, hope Griquas get a try back

  • 45

    Yet another try for BA super take out of the air from the restart by them!

  • 46

    Full time BB 7/26 BA – in the end BA were just too strong (physically) for the Blue Bulls and ran away with things scoring 4 tries to 1

  • 47

    Beunos Aires 26/7 Blue Bulls – 7’s. Doesn’t get any better for the Bulls, I am afraid

  • 48

    @ Snoek:
    Cheetahs now 34-15

    Same here, not even close, expected more from the Bulls, only picked Province by 8, Lions by 18 way to low and thought the Griquas would push the Cheetahs close

    @ 54 @ nortierd:

    …next year might be their year… Oh no it is the Sharks year… Sorry Bulls 😉

  • 58

    Rain in SnorCity, sparse crowd, lots of blue spaces..

  • 59

    I don’t think this game will be pretty.

    54 @ nortierd:
    No, you MUST kick us when we’re down and when our team needs to be kicked.

    We must be able to take it, to be able to make it better, simple as that!
