    Is al moeg om die hele week te lees hoe experience in tight games ‘n verskil gaan maak. Lambie het laasweek die beste losskakel in Suid-Afrika in ‘n tight game uitoorle, en dan was daar die hele week in die media vrae of hy vir Willem “Skop” de Waal kan uitoorle. Die WP agterlyn het so min die bal gesien vandag dit was snaaks. Ek is net bly die WP het verloor, niks erger as WP wat ‘n kompetisie wen nie.

    To think that the Sharks brains trust have let Strauss go.

    KP ou maat sh#t there is next year mate. Jammer maar julle is goed opgedonner. Schalk sal maar soos Jannie Breedt uit tree sonder om uit die koppie te drink.

    Jammer WP manne, dit bly maar swaar om so lank te klop aan die deur maar niemand maak oop nie, nie dat ons Bulle daai gevoel ken nie.

    Darem het julle seuns ons aankopers beindruk, ons het baie talent gesien, thanks daarvoor. Die feit dat julle die twee bekers gewen het is n klein prysie om te betaal vir so n uitstalling van waardevolle goeters.

    Our Currie Cup Superbru was won by 4man,

    Congratulations
    Winston Champ was 2nd on exactly the same score, differentials separated them.

    Top Ladies were EEE at 5th place and Carol at 10th place

    Hi guys, I met an old buddy this afternoon and the jam outvoted the final – a good decision as it turned out to be!

    Congratulations to Puma, Snoek, Winston, Sharky and my Sharks friends here. Spotted the highlights package now and the best team definitely took the honours. Well done!!

    Good to see the Free State supporters back on site again too.

    Hi Fender,thanks for the kind wishes bud. I came down to Durban for the game. We smashed them up front as expected and their backs could not do anything while getting the ball backwards. If anybody doubted Lambie before this game and the hype around him I think they got shown why he is the next big thing..

  • 193

    Geluk aan die sharks,hulle het die wp n behoorlike pak gegee.

    Ja Winston, maybe in Lambie SA has a world-class fly-half at last. But I remember the last fly-half youngster that starred in a Currie Cup final well and I reckon so do the Bulls fans here. That’s why I will reserve judgement for now..

  • 195

    Agreed Fender,but remember with Hougaard that he played for the worst Boks side to ever wear the green and gold and I think that destroyed his career. The guy had the likes of Jorrie Muller on his outside and a scrumhalf in Joost that was way past his prime,at least Lambie would be playing around far more competent players which would be good for his development.

    @ Winston:

    i agree wholeheartedly

    @ superBul:
    @190…Yeyyy, I made the top 10 again!!

    I was giving 4man such a hard time earlier in the season when I was thrashing him…..

    He had the last laugh!! 😆

    As usual the superBru made the rugby great fun, thanks for organising the pool superBul.. xxxx 😉
