Right, I am off to bed, chat again another day…
whatever commentry team, they are in a side full of Boks that know how to beat the black, and now showed them how to do it
Cheers Swannie lekker slaap
In Mallet’s opinion Jacques Fourie the best in his position, I agree
151@ Swanie – Cheers en thanks vir die updates
Jeremy does not pick FDP and Habana in his Southern Hemisphere team, what an asshole
150: ja, dalk kan ons hom ruil vir snorre, en Gold ruil vir HM ?
Well folks, I’m not too impressed with the Online feeds… but at least we saw what we wanted to see
Dink WP Nel moet vaskop vir bokke speel, as BJ nie beskikbaar is nie.
Weet nou nog nie of Smit of Bismark haker moet wees nie.
Smit is goeie kaptein, maar Bismark speel beter.
@ 158 Welcome to my world. Ek gaan DSTV hier installeer. Kos my R8000 vir instalasie, maar maandelikse fooi is goedkoper as in SA, go figure. Ek is gatvol vir Streaming
159@ Bissy gee te veel strafskoppe af… en Smit skrum sterker… so ek sal vir John Smit gaan op haker
160@ Nou waar de flok is jy in die wêreld…. is jy nie in Korea nie?
@ 160 Taiwan
sorry @ 162 Taiwan
164@ Balle – Flok, wat maak jy in skrefiesogieland?
@ 165 Ek is getroud met ‘n baie mooi taiwanese girl. Doen besigheid, voer in en verkoop onder my eie label.
166@ Balle – O, OK… mis jy nie SA kwaai nie?
Ek mis net my familie, anders verkies ek Taiwan bo SA(in sy huidige toestand) Daar is baie expats hier, ons speel lekker rugby. SA teen res van die wereld elke jaar. SA het verlede jaar die eerste keer verloor omdat die wereld span ‘n klomp Taiwanese sevens spelers gekies het.
168@ Balle – Ag jong, dinge issie so erg hier nie… steeds die land van melk en heuning.
Enige ou wat bietjie skop in sy gat het maak dit steeds groot hier in SA
@169 Verseker ek stem, SA glad nie bad nie, vir my is Taiwan ‘n beter opsie, vir verskeie redes.
Ek moet loop slaap, mooi bly
170@ Balle – Cheers, lekker slaap
Congrats Baabaas. Habanna hatrick – Well done! Great running rugby and must say the backline of Baabaas was superb.
Geluk Ed met jou Superbru wen.
GBS jy 2de en 3de in jou twee groepe, wel done
Congrats to the BaaBaas 🙂
Well done BaaBaas. The last time the ABs were beaten by the BaaBaas was by that great 1973 team. So this was a magnificent win.
Of course the idiots who run Dstv. Never showed this game. What huge pity. Would love to have seen Habs 3 tries.
To Swanie and Rugbybal, Thanks for the commentary here. Just read this whole thread. Could get a good feel for the game. Thanks.
Morning All, what a day and such a great atmosphere at Twickenham.
Really enjoyed Hab’s trys. He was nearly out for the count at one stage, being on the bottom of a pile up that inculded Schalk on top. He looked dazed and confused but still managed to score another try!!
The Barbarians win was the icing on the cake. Puma, I have got some pictures will send to GBS, but supa has got some great ones !
Hi Carol you must have had a blast and thanks for the commentary on the game guys
Have not seen the game yet (it’s going to be broadcast tomorrow). But I surmise that the ABs did not lose, they just ran out of time. 🙂
Not a bad effort by the Baa-Baas against an ABs ‘A’ XV, heh, heh. 🙂
178 – Treehugger, had a blast with your fellow South Africans….blimey, they really can put away the Guinness!! :beer:
179 – Jimmy T, You were backing the wrong team, great result for the Baabaas!! :sheep:
