    Where is this ref from Piet?

  • 93

    Ai, Staat het so goed gedoen laasjaar, val uit die bus hierdie jaar.

    More almal.

  • 94

    Blues 5m scrum, after a Staat knock and after a Hickey kick is charged down.

  • 95

    Morning sports fans.

    Cheetahs their own worst enemies here.

    They cannot complain about the score, in spite of some dodgy reffing.

  • 96

    Skrum bly maar n fokkop,nuwe reels en al,en die refs mors dit verder op mey al die voorlesings,tydmors…gaan terug na die ou dae,se ek.

  • 97

    Morning all,
    Once again a poor ref destroys a good match. If a ref has no proper command of English, should he be allowed to ref a match at this level. He clearly had no clue what the TMO said, so decided the outcome on his own?? WTF? Cry-Out

  • 99

    Not a great tour for Cheets this year after such a great tour last year.

    Jeez was wondering as he does not speak English. Going to be a language barrier like we had with the useless French refs with our Bokke last year.

  • 106

    Weeeeeeeeel, it is up to the Stomps now.

    104 @ grootblousmile:
    Where is Goosen? Must have missed what happened to him while outside for a few minutes or watching our Blitz Bokkies for a fe minutes.

    Goosen fell on his wrist, about 10 minutes before halftime… his wrist looks bust to me…. could be broken.

    111 @ Pietman:

    Shame Piet feel sorry for him. Must have a bone problem or something. Do you remember a brilliant cricketer a fast bowler he was a black guy from PE I think. He was brilliant but every time picked up a injury by breaking a bone. Well because of that never ever reached his potential otherwise would have been in the same class as Dale Steyn he was that brilliant. Think he came around just after the Donald era just forget his name. Think he had sort of deficiency that caused his bone to keep breaking. They also brought him on way way to ymoung it might also have had something to do with it. Anyhow think his career never got off the road because of it. Ask Superbul as he might remember his name as he is big into cricket like a few of us. I just forget his name a really tall fella a very fast bowler. Goosen may have the same thing that causes him to keep getting injured.

    Feel for him has to be frustrating knowing how good you can be if not picking up injuries. all players no matter how good they are all need to play each week to become even better. Hope for him it is nothing that serious.
