Tapper take it now, damn

Oh Bugger! And my horror run of picks on Bru continues!! Maybe I should stick to drinking and debating, at least I am ok with the drinking lol!
What’s up with the Lions? Elton injured, Cilliers, got the poops, and the team in dissarray in week 3 already!
Roodt should have stayed at ‘kwas, he is getting splinters in the Coke Tin!!
Go Cheeeethas!

I have just come to the conclusion that I know sweet fanny adams about rugby anymore, looking at my picks for this game….and the one against the Lions last week.
March 9th, 2012 at 14:56 SAST
Hahaha, after all the oak Young Turk was giving me about being on the bottom of the log, I’ve just climbed above him – Time for you to look up my skirt for a change boyo!!!!!!
March 9th, 2012 at 14:56 SAST
oak = kak, predictive text again
March 9th, 2012 at 15:01 SAST
I see Elton Jantjies is out, foot injury.
Suppose Butch will move to flyhalf, Hollenbach will come in at No 12??
March 9th, 2012 at 15:02 SAST
See Pat Celliers is ALSO out for the Lions…. damn, the Sharks are going to run riot

160@ grootblousmile:Yup, not good.
On another note, the Pampas pink is much brighter than the Bulls!
March 9th, 2012 at 15:14 SAST
Ep Kings getting hammered by the Pampas already. – Well did we expect anything else?
March 9th, 2012 at 16:22 SAST
Wow, EP Kings leading 29 / 23 against the Pampas in Stellenbosch, after 57 Minutes
March 9th, 2012 at 16:42 SAST
With 74 minutes gone, the score is EP kings 34 / 26 Pampas.
This of course is in the Vodacom Cup
March 9th, 2012 at 16:53 SAST
Try Pampas??
TMO
Time is up…
No try, lost forward… that was marginal
Final Score: EP Kings 34 / 26 Pampas

okay posts not going through again. Gets a bit frustrating this.
Anyhow who would have thought Canes would wim by such a huge margin today? I must surely be sitting at the bottom of our bru pool after the games today.
Also who would have thought that Chiefs, Canes and Landers would be sitting at 1,2 and 3 in the NZ conference right now? While Saders and Blues are 4 and 5. This tourney has now become so unpredicatable.

167@ Puma:wim = win
March 9th, 2012 at 16:59 SAST
Well done to EP Kings.

@ Pietman:
Sit met dieselfde probleem Pietman….my Bru picks laat my lelik in die steek. Help ook nie dat en net sommige van die games kan kyk nie…meeste van my picks is wilde raaskote die jaar.
March 9th, 2012 at 18:21 SAST
170 @ bos_otter:
Ons almal maak maar wilde raaiskote!
Ek het 2 groot wenne gepick vir die naweek… ene vir die Reds en ene vir die Bulls…
Sal my seker ook in die gat hap!
