    Kitsie steals the ball, game over!

    WP win… well deserved!

  • 122

    Notshe does best tactical kick of the match.

    Well done Province.

  • 123

    Kyk na NOMMER 86 wat ek daar geskryf het, hele game het daar gedraai, telling sou 15-9 gewees, toe skielik 16-12.

    Geluk Pro.

    2 Tries to NIL, that tells the story….

  • 126

    Tough luck Bulls.

    That’s how the boerewors bends.

  • 127

    Geluk Province, julle kry die kans om pakslae te kry op Ellispark, julle was net minder ..k as die Bulle.

  • 128

    So, only 2 Currie Cup games left in 2015… a semifinal and a Final!

  • 129

    WP will always be a lovely thing…

  • 130

    Go Cheetahs!!

    @ Jeraldjay:

    WP jou lekka ding.

  • 132

    …. en toe die game eers verby is, toe klim al die wiepies skielik hier uit die kas.

    Kom maar uit Nortie, hehe

    Karakter is om by jou span te staan, al weet jy hul gaan dalk verloor.

    The Lions should take the Cheetahs at a canter. And will be the favourites to take the thing.

    But in finals, anything can happen.

    @ IAAS:
    One down,one to go.

    @ Jeraldjay:

    That’s it. Not impossible. The guys are in a good space right now.

    @ Ben-die-Bul:

    I’d also like to hear from Norts. He was punting the Bulls and Sharks for the CC this year. Just as in Super Rugby.

    Not sure why.

  • 137

    I am glad for John Dobson that the team made it so far. Always hard to start coaching a team that won the title the previous year as the coach cannot really achieve more than what was achieved the previous season.He has however done really well with a very young team and has brought quite a few players( Du Preez, Kotze,Wilco Louw, Huw Jones, Kebble ..) up to the next level.

    @ robzim:

    Credit to Dobson. Totally. He went on record this week saying that if they lost the semi-final, then the season was a failure. He certainly sets high standards.

  • 139

    NOOO! Disappointing result. Congratulations Province.

    Didn’t watch, but picked WP to win.

    Can’t see any rugby at the moment, will be missing all the QF games as well.

    In Lohatla since Monday morning, and finishing up every night very late. Was scheduled to fly back on Monday, but it’s such a clusterfuck here, had to change plans and will only be returning the 26th.

    Would have loved to catch the AB v France game tomorrow

    PPRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Jaloersbokkies Blou Nulle…

    Julle is lekker gemoer van die dwergies…Kolbe nogal Man of the Match.

    Waar’s al die “reuse” van die Bulle gewees?

    Pro het alles probeer om julle in die game te hou, maar dit het nie eens gehelp nie.

    AY4U.

    Since 2010…NOTHING…

    Who’re you gonna blame now? Galant for not throwing the ball away… or LUDEKRIS… or… the new coach for giving you hope at the start of the season…

    Poor Bulls….

    We went to the Shark tank with a bunch o upstarts a few years ago…Kitshoff, Scarra, Malherbe, Etzebeth, Kolisi. Groom, Katrikilis, De Alende to play against experienced Boks like the Dup bros, Beast, Lambie and such in a final. We BEAT the crap out of them on the day. Our 20 year olds, in the front row, gave the Bok front row a hiding they’ll never forget.

    Slaap wakker…wie ons ookal volgende week kry in die finaal.

    As k*kpraat geld was…

    141/142: En dink net, as die Bokke vandag ook nog verloor, dan het al jou rugbydrome waar geword vir die naweek?

    Kan nie besluit wie gisteraand die swakste was nie, die 2 spanne of die ref nie.

    Daardie eerste drie, na Gemer die bal onwettig bekom het (geen tackle release, geen clear daylight nie), en Carr nog vorentoe aangegee het, het bepaal dat die minder useless span vd aand in die final gaan speel.

    Hoekom het Pro skielik ‘n comeback gemaak vir so belangrike game?

    Snaaks dat jy sulke hoë standaarde vir bokrugby het, maar hoogs tevrede is met gisteraand se klugspel van albei spanne en die ref as die hoof sirkus nar vir die aand.

    Hopelik sien ons RUGBY vanmiddag tussen die 2 kat spanne, en maak dit sommer die final.

    Maar ek gee toe, jul verdien meer as my sukkelende span om in die finaal te speel… ook die lekker pakslae wat daarmee saamgaan as jul weer speel soos gisteraand.

    @ Ben-die-Bul:

    Where did you get the sour grapes that you are eating since your team lost?

    Harvested on a smallholding outside Pretoria i guess?

  • 146

    @ Ben-die-Bul:
    Dankie vir die gelukwensing. Wink

    Nee man, ek wil graag he die Bokke moet wen vandag en ek glo ook hulle sal wen…redelik maklik ook. Ek onderskat geensins die Wallisers nie, maar ek glo ons sal die wedstryd goed wen.

    Gisteraand se getjommel was ‘n semi finaal, so die uitslag was die belangrikste. Net soos ‘n wen deur die Bokke van vandag af nie sal gaan oor hoe “mooi” dit is nie. Dis uitspeeltyd. Wen die wedstryd…al is dit ook met straf-/skepskoppe. Wen net die wedstryd.

    Wat volgende week betref…ons weet nog nie teen wie ons gaan speel nie. Delicious

    @ robzim:
    Hahaha… brilliant.

  • 148

    145/146: selfs geharde WP ouens op ander blogs erken dat Carr het myle vorentoe aangegee, dit moes nie ‘n drie gewees het nie, dit was die game changer.

    Maar nou ja, Robzim en Nama is die 2 uitsonderings wat dit nie raakgesien het nie, wat kan ons anders van julle verwag?

    Niks te doen met suurlemoentjies nie Robbie, of dat Bulle sou gewen het nie (ek dink WP sou hom deurgetrek het, al was dit deur hulle holle, meer honger gelyk as Bulle om te wen), dit het te doen met rugby feite:

    Gaan kyk weer na die oploop na Kolbe se drie, Kitskos se onwettige steel en Carr se vorentoe aangee….

    en kom lieg dan openlik hier soos die land se politici dat,

    daardie drie ‘wettig’ was,
    en nie die game gedraai het nie?

    Ek vind dit vreemd dat daar heeltyd grappies gemaak word oor die incompetence van ons politici, maar refs kan maar wegkom met moord.

    So, Robbie verstaan ek jou en jou gatgabba reg, dit is heeltemal OK as Wallis ons met die ref se hulp wen vandag, want dit is ‘uitspeel’ wedstryd, wat nie ‘mooi’ of regverdig hoef te wees nie, solank jy maar net wen?

    Daze

    @ Ben-die-Bul:

    Nou sleep jy nog die politici ook by asof hulle enigiets met die saak te doen het?

    Lyk my daardie Pretoria druiwe is nog suurder as wat ek gedink het.
