195: Chiefs speel nie goed weg nie, Stormers behoort hul te wen op Nuweland.
Bulle behoort goed te wen op Loftus, maar daarna is dit Blues in NZ waar hul nog nooit gewen het nie, en daarna Saders, Reds en Brumbies, eina ja ! Kan vier in ‘n ry verloor, maar wil nie daaraan dink nie.

None of the saffer teams looked particularly good this weekend. Sharks were the best of a poor lot which is not saying much. Will be interesting to see what happens next week.

Onthou net, een swaeltjie maak nie somer nie…
February 23rd, 2013 at 21:25 SAST
Another plus for my Sharks is that we have only one more game at altitude. Sure it is Loftus and will be tough, but that is it only one more this year. We have won our other today. So pleased about that. The rest of our games are at sea level what we are used too.

@ Puma:
gelukkig beteken superbru niks
sien jy val deur die klank grens
toemaar ek het ook al en dit van nie my kenner status weg nie.
February 23rd, 2013 at 21:27 SAST
213: julle moes bonuspunt gekry het, Bulle kry altyd bonuspunt in Bloem, kan dalk verskil wees aan die einde van die seisoen. Die Bulle het ook Stormers weerhou van bonuspunt, belangrike faktor.

@ grootblousmile:
212

Listened to the rugby shows instead of going with my instincts. Even then I am useless…….hahahaha. Just a bit of fun though, I really don’t take it serious.

February 23rd, 2013 at 21:38 SAST
Well well the bubble have burst
NO record for most losses( that one belongs to the LIONS for another year, maybe the Stormers or Cheetahs can help them out)
NO free 5 pointers in SA, first team down and guess what they did what we all ask ofd each other, beat the other conferences.
NO smashing their tight 5 or pack, do i see some jitters?

@ Puma:
so you are only a freelance imbongi for them
OK i get it Pat Lambie employed you, what a scoop, respect Pat.
February 23rd, 2013 at 21:42 SAST
Cheers folks – lekker slaap.
February 23rd, 2013 at 21:45 SAST
OK me out too , this game and chat relaxed my troubled mind a lot , thanks to all my Pelle.
Dont worry all i said today was tongue in the cheek(ky) i needed it.
February 23rd, 2013 at 21:47 SAST
Okay I am out of here now.
Cheers everyone, enjoy the rest of your evening.
Once again. Well done Kings.
223 @ superBul:
Cheers Super. Good to catch up. Catch up again tomorrow or during the week.
February 24th, 2013 at 02:53 SAST
Great win by the Kings – very inspirational and a good result for my tips.
February 24th, 2013 at 03:55 SAST
32 000-strong crowd , great. For a no name team in a under utilized region, if they can keep up that numbers it will prove many people right
February 24th, 2013 at 08:44 SAST
@ superBul:
I see there were barely 15 000 in Bloem. That is a bit disappointing to be honest.
February 25th, 2013 at 06:46 SAST
Like I said they are not as bad as the Aussie Cheetahs from Perthfontein
