The Leopards, at home in Potchefstroom lost to Western Province in round two of the Currie Cup. The final score was WP 37 / 3.
In a lack-lustre match WP earned a full bag of 5 Log points, scoring 5 tries in the process.
In the First Half however, just one try was scored in the full 40 minutes, by Joe Petersen.
At Half Time the score was only 13 / 3 for WP.
In the Second Half WP decided to drive more from penalties close to the Leopards line, resulting in 2 Luke Watson tries.
Juan de Jongh scored another try from a drive close to the Leopards line.
In the dying minutes, Gio Aplon ran a good 70m to score the try of the game after some very enterprising rugby by WP from right in their own goal area.
The Leopards never looked like crossing the WP try line

O and send you a fresh Lion Pick taken yesterday.

@superBul – I will look forward to the pic and I hope no ‘engineers’ were frightened whilst obtaining the pic!
I am amazed you have not been a lions lunch yet!!

Oh, and speaking of that… I’ve scheduled a Game Thread for 08:00am SA Time (7:00am Muddy Isle Time).

So SA has gone to get his ‘leg over’, suprBul has retired to the dark room to see more amazing wildlife shots and GBS will pop indoors remind the wife what he looks like then go to bed!
I meanwhile should prepare something delicious for supper…
Goodnight Rugby Talkers

I have thrown down the gauntlet!! 😉
Now I am really off………….
Jisjis.
Polla/KingPaul/Ashley, waar is julle?
Ek het inligting oor Balie Swart en die i990 WP-span gekry.
Ook oor Michael du Plessis se speeldae in Tvl.
More Pietman
Ek sal later kom kuier gou n paar tuin ingeneurs aan die werk sit.
@superBul –
Maak so!
Ek is ook eers uit gou.
More Pietman. Hoe gaan dit in Korea?
Lets move to the game thread.
WP JOU LEKKE DING!!!!!!!!
Groot visse in n klein dammetjie….
Ons kyk oor so drie weke weer as julle teen die Bokke speel.
Die telling vlei die Ridders.
@Stan – Stan..jy het so obsessie met die rugridder ding..dit laat my wonder!..Kruip jy dalk in die kas weg?
@Polla –
Vra dit…ek wil ook weet wie/of wat de fok hy en Supa van praat….rugridders, pienk rokke, ‘mail’ cheerleaders?
Dit raak nou afgesaag.
En wie is die ‘ons’ wat hulle van praat, klink my soos Daspoort Ridge lingua daai..?
Ek is n Bul-ondersteuner, maar dit maak my beslis nie een van hulle ‘onse’ nie…
Faaaaaaaark….
Hey, wats fout met Daspoort?
Sien jy neer op die armblankes?
@Stan – Die Daspoort mense het die tonnel gesluit want Danville se kinders kom byt hulle honde!
@Stan –
Nee, geensins, ek het niks teen Daspoort se mense nie, ook nie teen armblankes nie (ek is self een).
Ek het dit teen eenvoudige witmense wat die trotse Bulle se naam gat maak……deur gedurig ander mense van ander spanne te beledig.
Eenvoudig?
Beledig?
Hmmm dis nou die pot wat die die ketel swart noem.
Lyk my julle manne daar onder in die Kolonie het n selektiewe sin vir humor…
@Pietman –
@Stan –
Whatever Stan.
Ek gaan waai.
Nie lus vir hierdie strontpratery nie.
Gesels jy en Supa verder.
@Pietman – Hey jy kan nie waai as ek hier aankom nie! Howzit Pieta!
