@ Pietman:
#176 thanks so that explains why he seems to have a good feel for playing flyhalf. One game in particular for Ulster I remember him showing good range of skills good running at the defence top distribution some good passing then looping around to be in position to get pass again and also good distance on his touch kicks, wasn’t always sure if he was anything but a running flyhalf but that game convinced me he could kick as well.
Right time to go here too
Howzit everybody!
Had no power since early this afternoon, so sat at a Spur and watched the game, difficult without commentary.
Seems like Peyper had yellow fever again, why is he not helping his Sharks team?
Instead, he is trying to sink the WP.
At least we got the bonus point win, and away against a charged up Kings side, so well done boys.
WP jou lekker ding
Well done Province!!!
Sort the men from the gimmes.
I had my opinion on the Kings game, must give credit to the WP for their defense too. And Demitri will win them more than losing, he has a good all round game. JDEJ is also a good enough player for the Boks.
Well played WP.
Congratulations Province supporters, a BP win is a good way to start the season.
@ MacroBull:
Yep, they all count.
As we speculated earlier, teams like the Kings, Pumas and Griquas will only be a threat and dangerous right at the start of the tournament and at home.
So a BP win is not too shabby first up
@ nortierd:
must be funny that feeling you have at the moment, what with having a winning team finally
@ nga puhi:
The Golden Era has started.

@ nga puhi:
I can’t get over how bad ep was in the second half. The lions would have scored at least 5 tries in the second half.
Still the same issues plague wp from the stormers. its almost like the players are not all on the same page.
Wp will likely be finalists… will be a good way to cover some of they problems. But next year won’t be their year.
Good crowd at affies today, did they say 15 000 people?
I feel sorry for all those good people who spent a Friday evening watching that hapless, sub standard rugby?

Watching Tiger Woods falling apart at the PGA Championship offered a great entertainment if you were really looking for one?

Hope Taylor gets a ton.
Diehard of note.
