Willie KOd!
Rugby in weather like this is a lottery!
Halftime all players better screw in 6 inch studs!
Gosh Habana still as fast as ever

I suppose the WP Brokie players in the team will misunderstand you and ask for 6 inch studs to screw them?
Players all fighting for the cake of soap… the oval one
Middag almal.
A Tjarks supporter sitting behind me wanted to know the price of tickets for this Toets, can anybody help the lost-fart-in-a-bottle please?

True
Elke game in hierdie reeks is soos ‘n finaal, verloor een dan is jy basies uit. Jammer vir die reen, ons moet net sorg dat ons wen.
@ BrumbiesBoy:
R25 round, R550 including an umbrella
@ MacroBok:
157
scavengers has to be fast
Nice tackle, Pollard!
@ Hondo:
has=have 😉
so xlose. The boks clearly don’t care about the rain
Years ago, the pitch would have been a mud bath by now… not Loftus specifically, any pitch.
Ref needs to watch off sides
Nog ‘n fout Pollard
Pollard not having a good match, AB’s and Wallabies are going to give him trouble
Speel nie reg nie, moet balle in hoekies sit en dan pressure opbou, nie elke bal in reenweer probeer hardloop nie.
Hope the rain abates
Bokke penalty after the lineout, obstruction
I wonder if the Boks (read HM and JdV) didn’t hype Pollard up too much in the press this week, and he is feeling the pressure now?

geez nortie that’s dramatic. de allende also dropped a ball. doesnt make him suddenly not good enough
Habana knocks the cake of soap
