Whoooop!
I was worried the whole week about this one… could have been a banana peel game!
@ Pietman:
klein botha is n yster tussen hom en lappies vir juan se mantel
Morné Steyn is standing ready to be awarded Man Of The Match
@ superBul:
Klink dis net ons twee wat werk op Vryheidsdag?
Maar NOU vir die Queens, hehehehe!!!
118: jy het kom red, dankie Superman Bul ! Ons span het hard probeer om hierdie een te verloor, maar kon nie teen hulself verloor nie.
OK, OK ek weet ek was laat, kan iemand dalk se hallo
NOU moet ek rook!
Kom Kameeltjie, waar is jy!
@ smallies:
Groot mantel daai van Juan….maar ek stem, Lappies en Arno, hoop Heyneke kies hulle.
@ superBul:
ja tog hallo
122: yip, hulle is beter as die res by myle.
It’s a win but all passion and brawl stuff. Not sure the Bulls will win the championship with their current style. They need to work on their ability to create fast flat front foot ball. They rely to much on no9 and fringe hanging forwards to take the ball up. They need some variation with ball in hand.
@ Pietman:
persoonlik sal ek laaik as dit lappies is dan loop daai draadjie darrem mooi van venter na juan na lappies
131: hulle het hard probeer om die bal die lug te gee, maar dit was net een van daardie aande wat dinge nie wou click nie. Maar ek is bly om te sien hul is oppad om meer gebalanseerd te speel, balbesit rugby met hier en daar die nodige skoppe.
Tahs het ook goed gespeel, en ek is bly ons is klaar met hulle, hul word beter by die dag.

Haha, sterkte met jou span, hulle is goed vanjaar, moet my nou net nie n alkolis maak en nog n wen aan die Kings gee nie.
netnou moet GBS my kis nadat ek die kiste drank gesuip het.
134 @ superBul:
Spesiale prys vir jou… maar ons sal ‘n oversized kis vir jou moet kry…. hehehe
@133. Yes Tahs has good set piece, defend well and are really competitive at the tackle. Not easy to run against them. All credit to Bulls for running with the ball. It is. Ertainly a move in the direction as opposed to the kick and chase game they used to play.
However, the bulls had the same problem last week; losing the breakdown battle and playing to deep behind the d-line when they run it.
OK, to the press conferences for me, chat later!
The Waratahs coach was soooooooooo sour about the ref, what a knobhead!
