Okay and you Ash?
Hey congrats on your team winning our conference and will say congrats too for being top of the log. They will get there after this game today. Pleased we have a saffa side on top and not a kiwi team. Will be good to have that cup back in sa.

Good thing for the team in 6th spot later is that Surfer Dude will probably cop a suspension, due to that high tackle…
July 14th, 2012 at 13:14 SAST

Try Tom Carter, for the Waratahs
July 14th, 2012 at 13:14 SAST

1-3 @ grootblousmile:
Howzit Boeta,
Jees see the temp will only be 5 in Joburg for the Bulls/Lions game. Damn cold that. Night games in winter is just not on. They should schedule it earlier. Here it is forecast for rain later but for now just sun and no clouds at all.

Reds over, held up… penalty Reds, shot at goal

108 @ grootblousmile:
They not gonna get it. All to do for our teams if we want to make the play offs now. Again if one of our teams don’t no sweat really. At least our Boks players will get a rest. The travel for both teams will be hectic from here. The reason we should get back to the old format. Should only have semi finals and finals. Cuts down on the travel.

114 @ grootblousmile:
You okay then, just the game will be played in those conditions. Though if it is cold no problems, it is for the supporters that it will be freezing to sit and watch. Here if it rains same for us supporters. Still going though seeing it will be Sharks last game at the Tank for S15. Heading out in about 15min time.
July 14th, 2012 at 13:21 SAST
1 Minute to go… no way back.
Reds will end in 3rd spot

@ Puma
Great thx bru, nice day at home, watching the rugby comp unfold, sipping icy homebrew in the midday heat, so life is good right now!
(Was flippin 41C throughout the night, probably near 55 outside right now, I guess…)
Good luck with your team, I have a feeling this year is the Sharks’ as far as SA is concerned, they are the only team imo who can take these Antipodeans on with ball in hand….so cheers to you boys.
July 14th, 2012 at 13:22 SAST
A converted Tahs try will suit my Bru now….
July 14th, 2012 at 13:24 SAST
Tahs 10m out
July 14th, 2012 at 13:24 SAST

120 @ Pietman:
That brings back memories of my time there Piet…. haha. Homebrew was great back then, only thing that bloody heat almost killed me..hehe.
Hope my boys make it boet, we should have beaten the Tahs. Was 16 points in the lead and let it slip. Also a few other games we should have won, but somehow lost. Hope we make it. Though the travel will be horrendous. For now if we play like last week we should make it, then just never know. The Cheetahs are a good team and love to run with it too. Just hope both Bulls and Sharks make it through. Would like to see 3 saffa sides through. If not at least our Boks in our teams will get a rest.
July 14th, 2012 at 13:30 SAST
Let me do the 3 SA Game Articles…. and find someone to Author the Sharks / Cheetahs game for us, while I travel to Pretoria
July 14th, 2012 at 13:32 SAST
Okay going now other wise don’t get a good parking.
Go SHarks, Bulls and Stormers.
Will say it now. Well done Stormers on topping the Log. Stormers will top it after this game.
Cheers everyone.
July 15th, 2012 at 10:42 SAST
you guys may disagree but thats okay…the form teams in the final 6 are the Reds and Stormers but the Stormers may want to review their game plan given what happened yesterday. the Reds are on a 6 game winning streak.
I just don’t think a team who finishes 6th should get a home play off – Reds can thank SARU for negotiating this into the clause for play off finals and qualifying conferences.
