Go Wales!!!!
I even picked Wales on SuperBru
1 – GBS..hehe. Me too. Go WALES!
Wallisjanne !
2@ Puma – Wales have rugby as their National Sport, that’s why I like them…. they’re like us!
Go Wales!
Daar staan al die Britte, sing hul longe uit, waai hul vlae, kry traantjies in die ogies vir hul queenkie … maar die Boere mag nie eers hul eie Stem sing of eie vlae waai nie, dan is hul ‘n klomp rassiste.
Game on!
Hello BiDiBiDi
Naand manne nou net terug gekom van die werk van 7 tot 1830 geswoeg in die hitte.
Puma daai stelling oor die 7 bokke is bloody reg, hulle word soos stront afgestamp deur die Fijane, daar moet heeltyd meer as een tackle. Ooo en dan skop en chase ons die heeltyd maar die Fijane is vinniger as ons, belaglik man , belaglik. Paul se idees is op.
4 – Yip for sure us, NZ and Wales but think SA and NZ are more crazy about their rugby. Wales comes in at 3rd 😀
Anyhow got get em Wales 😀 Really, really want Wales to win.
7 – Howzit Super, See we doing very well in the cricket so far.
Naand GBS en julle ander klomp.
7@ SuperBul – Ek het gister al gese dat ons Bokkies te klein is….
Ek stem saam, tyd vir nuwe bloed, nuwe idees!
Hook goes for posts….. easy kick he should get it…. fark..wide
12: hy het hom geHook !
Jis Puma toe ek gaan werk was die telling 12/2 and when i listened again it was 250+ for 2 , i am so glad for Amla, he missed a few good chances for 100s against England.
11
Hulle speel tans pateties, ek was erg die moer in vanmore. Maar nou ja, ons eerste titel van laasjaar is neusie verby.
13@ BiDiBiDi – Hehehehe, etzakkerly
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Sorry boys just warming up for next week.
Fukken Bulls! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
17@ Platkoppie – Ja jou dom stut, wat seg jy, Ingelsman!
I have made the hottest chicken peri peri. My poephol is going to be redder than the Welsh jersey tomorrow morning.
14 – Super, I missed the start only saw when Kallis and Amla were on around 175. If I had seen that bad start, heart would have sunk. Pleased Amla and Kallis have batted so well after. Yip, pleased for Amla to get his 100. Saw him get it. Now to bat really well tomorrow and declare tomorrow sometime or maybe even on Monday early. Try and bowl them out twice and not have to come in to bat again.
19 – Suffer……..hahaha. YOU will know all about it tomorrow for sure..LOL.
18@ grootROUsmile: Vrydag aand gaan die Cheetahs die Bulle op etter!
I am going to report you to the webmonster for being xenophobic towards soutpiele!
Just you wait until he gets hold of you! 😆
Puma wouldnt it be great if Kallis gets his first ever double ton. But dont bet on it.
The Welsh lineout is about as kak as the NZers.
Is Delon Armitage Englands answer to Jorrie Kruger?
Two missed kicks by Wales. Might cost them later.
23 – Super, I WOULD LOVE IT. Especially to see Kallis get it in India would be brilliant.
Hai Super, waar kom jy daaraan dat my idees op is?? hehehe
Problem met die 7’s is dat sodra ‘n ou goed raak, raap die S14 spanne hom op. Daar moet uitsonderings gemaak word dat ouens wat nie eerste keuse S14 is nie vrygestel kan word om vir die 7’s te speel. Hier dink ek aan Juries by die WP en tot iemand soos Philip doo5 Burger ens. Dit moet vir die ouens die geld werd wees om 7’s te speel.
Speel die ouens nou weer ander reels as ons by die tackle want ek sien nie dat die ref die tackler blaas as hy nie dadelik wegrol ens nie??
KP jy is reg
