    @ grootblousmile: I’m going to try my best. That Bokkie game is going to be good to watch. Samoans ran Oz close so can’t expect to just roll them over.

    Ag jong, my span issie goed die jaar gewees nie, ookie verlede seisoen of die ene voor dit nie…

    Maar om mens te verlustig in die Top 6, sonder enige Titels in jou verlede, is maar ‘n hol en embarrassing brag, nê!

    Wat het julle?

    2015 bragging rights….en die vermoe om in NZ en Australia n game te kan wen.
    Hoe vaar julle met dit?

    Wat, al NZ span wat julle kon wen was die Blues… op nuweland.

    Selfs die Bulle sou dit kon doen 😆

    Four Whitelock brothers all played 50 matches of Super Rugby for the Saders! This must be a record of sorts, surely.

    Oh no not a good result. Oh well, well done Rebels.

    I find it disturbing how a guy like jono ross can play in the “all stars” league and still find his team in the finals. While last year he pretty much had so the blame from bulls supporters for everything that is useless in the bulls team.

    There is SERIOUS issues with the bulls management of players as well as the supporters perception of players.

    239 @ MacroPolo:
    Hi Macro, have seen very little of him play but he can’t be so bad if he managed to get a contract in France anyway at quite a big club. It is true what you say about perceptions, once they are established it takes an awful lot to shift them. Have not followed them closely so don’t really know how much influence Jono Ross has had on Stade’s progress, but with players like Parisse there I think he would not have had many starts when Parisse was available. Ross was on the bench for the semi-final and came on in the 45th minute for try scorer Lakafia who believe it or not was at 7…. remembering that up north (and I think almost everywhere else in the world) their no 7 is SA’s no 6 (opensider), so much for all the stick Frans Ludeke got for playing him in the ‘fetcher’ role. Got to get going here, long list to get through.
