@ bdb:
As ek maar Engels mag gebruik – That’s part of something that REALLY pi**es me off – playing to the whistle! And you saw it in the Junior WC final – guys running onto the field because the hooter had sounded, but the game wasn’t over yet! I get crazy angry – play to the whistle!! I know I’m slightly off your topic, but thanks for letting me rant.

57: Puma, wie gaan losskakel speel vir die Sharks – Lambie of Michalak ?
June 29th, 2012 at 10:51 SAST
I see 3 teams have bye’s this week, one from each Conference… Sharks, Blues, Waratahs
June 29th, 2012 at 10:57 SAST
Chiefs over the line…

Inconclusive?
June 29th, 2012 at 10:58 SAST
Try?

59@ bdb:
Not sure think Lambie, though if Freddie can play for the Sharks to the end of the SuperRugby tourney, then think it will be Freddie. Freddie has signed for his knew club in France from the 1st of July I think. Though he could still be available for Sharks if we make it to the play offs. Not 100% sure though.
I would have Lambie playing fh though. He is consistently good there. With Fred you just never know if he will have a great game or not.
June 29th, 2012 at 10:58 SAST
Scrum 5 Chiefs… inconclusive
June 29th, 2012 at 11:00 SAST
Early engage by the Chiefs, Free Kick Landers… and a very relieving one at that

15 Minutes to go in the match
June 29th, 2012 at 11:04 SAST
Wat SA betref is Bulle en Sharks gelyk op 49 punte, met nog more se wedstryd om te kom.
As Bulle verloor, dan moet Sharks die Bulle bloot net wen om verby te skuif.
As Bulle wen, moet Sharks Bulle wen met ‘n bonuspunt en keer dat Bulle bonuspunt kry.

Chiefs WILL win this one, and go to at least 62 on the Log…. into the semi’s for sure and looking good to finish top overall

74: kan nog gelykop eindig ?
June 29th, 2012 at 11:17 SAST
Chiefs moet nog Saders en Canes speel, nie maklik nie, so hul moet hier wen as hul bo wil eindig.
June 29th, 2012 at 11:17 SAST
Chiefs penalty…. 2 minutes to go

Final Score: Chiefs 27 / 21 Highlanders
June 29th, 2012 at 11:25 SAST
Chiefs finally win. Highlanders almost got back there. Think Chiefs could be beaten by the Saders.
June 29th, 2012 at 11:27 SAST
Daar was 9 spanne, nou is daar 8.
Landers het goed teruggekom maar te laat.
Chiefs het goed begin en toe bietjie stoom opgeraak. As hul volgende week so speel gaan die Saders hul wen.
Net die Stormers wat Chiefs nog kan vang, as Chiefs in laaste 2 choke.

87@ bdb:
Chiefs also have Canes to play. They could lose to both Saders and Canes. Two very tough games for them.
