    238 – Yip, Super Bulls faced Cheetahs first up. They are always a dangerous side to face. I know as a Shark supporter. See Cheetahs face Stormers next. Canes might be flat for the game next week or up for it but one thing for sure they wont be up for it at Loftus. Not after facing 3 saffa sides. They could be facing a 50pointer or more against the Bulls. Cheetahs had the better of them the whole game tonight.

    Sports Pool Club is 3 games agter????

  • 243

    I’m going to work on some Photo’s now to put onto the Stormers and also the Cheetahs threads….

    242@ AB – Hou op moan, hulle update net 1 keer per dag….

    Nou fokken antwoord dan!

    240 – Super, The Bulls will really finish the Landers next week. They were awful tonight and Stormers really gave it to them. At altitude????? They will never ever do it agains the Bulls. Just never understand how the Cheetahs lost to them last week though.

    Pity about my Sharks. To be really honest if it was not for the ref we would have won. Sometimes you think maybe if the ref cost us but today it was blatant. Feel for the players really that should have been 3 wins for the saffa sides this week.

    Anyway wont dwell on it will celebrate the Stormers and Cheetahs win. That alone was just fantastic. Must say missed seeing the Bulls play this week. I may get tickets to loftus to see Bulls against Canes. The only thing that puts me off is it is a night game. Really don’t feel too safe driving at night back home. Only live about 20 or 25 min from Loftus but never like to drive at night up here. In Umhlanga I feel fine to drive at night here a bit weary.

    244 – Did you give Loosehead one of your very best bottles to go celebrate from your bar????? If not you owe him……hehehe.

  • 248

    247 – That post was meant for GBS

    247@ Puma – He can have one with pleasure… it was very good to watch… and they did ALL the SA Teams a favour.

    Super: hier is my S14 team of the week:

    Al die Bulle

    Nie elke dag dat jy nie eers hoef te speel nie, en nog steeds bo op die log eindig nie.

  • 251

    249 – GBS, So let Loosehead put in his order…..hahaha.

    Very pleased for the Cheetahs and yes, they done a lot of favours for all the saffa teams especially your team brudda, as they now stay on top. Canes never EVEN got a bonus point from Cheetahs. SO GO THE CHEETAHS YOU GOOD THING. Well done to them. They done us proud.

  • 252

    There’s only 1 unbeaten Super 14 side in 2010, so far….. the Bulls

  • 253

    My bru must be rock bottom.

    You know on my bru picks, just had a very good feeling to go with Cheetahs and Reds but being soooooooooooooooooooooooo conservative and trying to be safe never. Next time just go with the unexpected. Nothing to lose.

  • 254

    252 – GBS that is true. They going to be very hard to beat.

    Sharks were like that last year. Then we came unstuck against a weak side in the Reds and pulled it back and then the wheels came off after coming home.

    So go the Bulls. Bulls have a good draw and I see them beating just about every team they face. I do hope another final at Loftus. It is very good for saffa teams. Especially this close to the world cup. Please just klap those Saders. I mean klap em good at Loftus… LOL. They play Bulls at Loftus so think Bulls will beat them.

    VRYSTAAAAAT! Ok I am a little pissed.

  • 256

    255 – Loosehead, That is perfectly fine…….Enjoy. Had a glass or two for your team as well. They done us proud.

  • 257

    Cheers all. Well done Cheetahs and Stormers.

    From both teams hope all their supporters are celebrating. Both played really well tonight.

    Catch up tomorrow.
