1/2: nou wat nou, ek dog jy het jou rug gedraai op SA rugby ? Lekker mooiweer ondersteuner, en onthou, die Leeus moet nog die CB wen. Hopelik gaan ou Bossie nie weer choke nie ?

Not going.

Too many things happening at home. 3 Birthdays this weekend, plus the Bokke game.

Gave my parking ticket to a client and will watch ON MY OWN away from everyone.

Won’t even invite the Captain until after the Currie Cup has found its NEW home for the next year.

Just watching the under 20 finals… Brandon Thomson is such a good number 10 and should play for the Stormers next year..same goes for scrumhalf Justin Phillips and one or two others.

I see the EP Kings Under 19s just beat the Blue Bulls Under 19’s in the Under 19 Final.

And well done to the baby EP kings, winning it in the end… great season for them.

Moving away from Rugby for a minute… this FeesMustFall campaign amongst University students is a freegin gemors!!

Just received 2 Mails from Tuks, as an alumni of the University, announcing that an agreement has been reached for a 0% increase in any of the Tuks fees for 2016. Tests & Exams has also been extended a bit and normal classes will resume on Monday 26 October 2015.

Goeie game gewees tussen 0/19’s, van beide spanne. OP was deur seisoen en op die dag die beste span, geluk aan hulle.

Bulle se losskakel, Thinus de Beer, kon die game gewen het in 69’e minuut met strafskop, maar hy het hom gemis.

As Kings iewers geld vandaan kry, en die span bymekaar hou, kan hul dalk oor ‘n paar jaar sterk kompeteer vir die CB.

As hul net vir Cheeky kan kry om nie al die wins op te vreet nie !

Eishhh! lekker vir hulle….waar is die is dae toe ons moes koerante verkoop in die reen donkeroggend, en saans barman speel om studies te betaal…..

Ben-die-Bul on 24 October 2015 at 1:41 pm

Al die druk op die Leeus, tuisveld en span met die minste spelers wat weg is, niks verloor deur die seisoen nie. Kan nie bekostig om hierdie een te verloor nie.
