Good Tas thx….my first live tv in almost a month…just opened dome red to celebrste the occasion….and on the Boks.
How are you doing these days?
Well done Lions, deserved champions for 2015.
Also, well done bookies, they called it….lions by 8 and they got it spot on
and now for the next little tussle in South West London. Who playing?
Nou ja, niemand kan daarteen stry nie, die beste span deur die hele jaar het die CB gewen.
Geluk Leeus, julle speel goeie rugby en het ‘n goeie ding aan die gang. Moet nou net dit oordra na die superrugby.
Well done Lions. Played good rugby throughout the season.
As for Province. Well there’s always next year.
Good to see such a full stadium too
@ Pietman:
….some red…faarkit! On the phone here in the lounge….small keyboard.
249: dink dit was Natal, iewers in die 1990’s tydens hul CB goue jare.
Well done WP! You did your supporters proud, and you came close!
Well played you all!!
@ Pietman: can’t complain boet. Busy planning my Dec trip up to Kleinzee and down the Weskus. Can’t wait. No phones. No TV. No ‘tricity. No hassles. Just braai, beer, kreef and the odd grappie. Okay, a lot of grappies.
@ Pietman: Red? You’ll have to explain in more detail.

@260 Lekka man! I start 20 March, through Namibia and down ftom Botswana.
Go buy some wine and Namqua brandy at Koinaais Bottle Store near Kleinzee, and tell Bernard van Zyl I said hello.
Thanks BdB, makes the Lions season all the more impressive
Theres a dream, I feel….
Well played WP. Made a real fist of it.
Lions, well what can one say. Dropped only a couple of points all season and had a perfect 12/12 record.
Great team where the sum of the total is so much stronger than any of then individuals.
Nama1 & Rugbyprof on Superbru, sorry you didn’t back your team, otherwise I would have pipped you both to the title.
Guess that’s why you both beat me.
Now lets see if SA can defy the odds against NZ.
Well done to the Lions… nobody can dispute that they were the best team in the competition and deserve the title.
WP did well too …it is no shame to lose against such a good side on their home field…
There was a time I thought they going to be humiliated but they never gave up and can hold there heads up high as well.
@ robzim:
Close at the end! A good final it was, with both teams worthy if being there.
They were the best two teams in the comp, by far.
