    Sorry Cane, it must be very painful … having commentators like that. (I’msorrysmiley)

    At least the 2 crooked tries cancelled each other out.

    @ Puma:
    Wish I had a pot of that cold ‘umqomboti’ here that you and Snoek are probably by now gulping down, would have been nice to celebrate with you two madhalas… Weary

    Okay!
    I’ve had a good stiff drink, and managed to pull myself together.

    Con………con……………no ……………………no, I just can’t do it.
    I’m breaking up again.

    (extra long pause).
    Here goes.
    Congratulations to the Guppies.
    Another gutsy win.
    And one that I’m sure puts them in a great position to at least host a Semi-Final. Any Team going to The Shark Tank (is it still Kings Park) will find it tough going.
    Well done.
    But what is it with these yellow cards.

  • 251

    Still hard at the anvil but I simply had to get a note in when I learn’t the result in Auckland.
    WELL BLOODY DONE SHARKS.
    Seriously brilliant ROI.
    I’m a Stormer supporter but in the broader scheme of things, a South African rugby supporter. Gives me great pleasure to support our other teams too, when they are playing so well.
    Enjoy it Pumes ou ball.

    Howzit Rye,

    Yes was a great win for our team. Lewies has been brilliant all season for us. Pleased he has made a Bok call up as well. Well deserved. Also thought that Oosthuizen was excellent in the two games he has started.

  • 255

    Absolutely BRILLIANT news. Tera Mtembu has been called up to the Bok squad.

    WELL DONE YOUNG MAN. Have always, always rated him. Again Jake giving him a chance and another makes the Boks training squad much like S’Bura and Lewies. So very proud of these youngsters.
