Waratahs (33) 73 / Lions (5) 12 (final score)
The Waratahs hosted the Lions at the Sydney Football Ground, Sydney at 10:40 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. The Waratahs really punished a very dismal Lions effort, scoring 11 tries in the process.
It is the 2nd time already this season that the Lions allow 70 points against them and they are now 5 games down from a possible 5.

328@ Pietman – Netblou is eintlik SuperKoei.
Ag Pietman en is superbul se vrou niks meer mampoer vir jou nie.
netblou/GBS
O okaaaay, is dit soos dit werk, thx!
Pietman – yep, still got the big moustache!! Tough little bugger, he coaches at a high level on the Gold Coast at present.
Williams – what a gentleman, and, as you say, now a judge. Another former All Black friend of mine, Greg McGee, lives at Grey Lynn, near Ponsonby (famour for Ponsonby Pies). Greg played second row/flanker, I think? Another exceptional man.
I also spoke to former Wallaby Matt Ryan a few days ago, you might recall his name? He toured SA I believe. He lives in Sydney now and acts as a drug/alcohol counsellor in his own time – he gives of his time freely to help others.
Wallabie – Í was born in Sydney, but left after a stoush with Canterbury Bankstown – they demanded lotzza money for me to transfer to another rugby league club, back in 1970. They told me they own me no matter where I play fottball in the world, so I got on a plane and flew to the UK and played rugby. Played in over 20 countries around the world, just my wife and baby daughter and a pair of boots. Best experience anyone could ever have. I migrated to RSA on a contract with De Beers and the rest is history.
OldGriqua and the rest, I will catch you folks later over the weekend during the games, have a few more rounds to make, it’s weekend here and the tills must roll at my little outpost!
Cheers all.
335 – Old Griquas, I do enjoy your posts and Piets. Really enjoy going down memory lane.

Hallo,bly te kenne, al baie met super gepraat.
336 – Piet Cheers brudda, you must get your ADSL pronto. Keep on at them at Telkom. Otherwise you will wait forever.
SuperBul mentioned we do a rugby history night on Tuesdays. That would be really something good to get into.
Catch up with us tomorrow Piet for the rugga.
Okay out of here for now. Catch up later for the crici.
Cheers all. I must now be sitting right at the bottom of bru.
Puma – I’ve just caught a quick read of the 70s ABs articles. Yep, I remember the names and the history, although not all of it is all that favourable. But I remember the good times as well. The Griquas included two close frinds of mine, at the time; Tos Smith and Piet Visagie. I played all my SA rugby with Tos and I also played in the same team as Piet’s younger brother, Gawie.
As a winger and former professional sprinter, I can tell you I ran at least 2m faster while playing in SA – I had too, there was no way I was going to let those huge Afrikaners catch me, they would have torn me to bits!
Great days; exceptional memories of RSA, of which I am mighty proud to say I played in the best and hardest rugby competitions in the world – and they remain that way, even today.

Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor’s Degree and the woman gets her Masters.
Marriage is a thing which puts a ring on a woman’s finger and two under the man’s eyes.
Getting married is very much like going to the restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and when you see what the other fellow has, you wish you had ordered that.
Son: Is it true? Dad, I heard that in ancient China, a man doesn’t know his wife until he marries.
Father: That happens everywhere, son, everywhere!
😉
They say when a man holds a woman’s hand before marriage, it is love; after marriage, it is self-defense.
A gentleman is one who never swears at his wife while ladies are present.
ok
now one for the ladies

A husband is living proof that a wife can take a joke.

I think of my wife and I think of Lot, and I think of the lucky break he got.
hehehe
I tried a mail order bride, once, but she was damaged in the mail, and I had to return the unused part for my full refund.
If you never want to see a man again, say, “I love you, I want to marry you, I want to have children…” – they leave skid marks. — Rita Rudner 😆
May you be blessed with a wife so healthy and strong, she can pull the plow when your horse drops dead.

Strong on the plow – Borat
A guy gets home early from work and hears strange noises coming from the bedroom. He rushes upstairs to find his wife naked on the bed, sweating and panting. ‘What’s up?’ he says. ‘I’m having a heart attack,’ cries the woman. He rushes downstairs to grab the phone, but just as he’s dialling. his four-year-old son comes up and says, `Daddy! Daddy! Uncle Ted’s hiding in your wardrobe and he’s got no clothes on!’ The guy slams the phone down and storms upstairs into the bedroom, past his screaming wife and rips open the wardrobe door. Sure enough, there is his brother, totally naked, cowering on the wardrobe floor. ‘You jerk,’ yells the husband, ‘my wife’s having a heart attack and you’re running around with no clothes on scaring the kids!’
