Now its over, watch them run the Lions ragged. Why the changes Dick, why.
58@ Puma – Hello old-timer, damn, when I get a chance I’m going to watch the recording of the Bulls game…. I wan to see how Steve Walsh blew the game last night….. from the Press Box none of us were happy with how he blew things…. want to see for myself again.
Ek sien die 7’s Bokke het 38 / 0 teen Frankryk gewen.
Saders 32 / 19
More almal.
GBS, het jy antwoorde op al my vrae gekry ? 😉
Lions moet maar probeer om die Saders te weerhou van ‘n Bonuspunt af…

I think you will find a lot of inconsistency . Not so much to one side but total inconsistency.
Same thing right this time next time a penalty.
64@ BiDiBiDi – Meeste… sal later, wanneer ek die Bulls PVR Recording klaar gekyk het my wedstrydverslag opsit. Jaco Pretorius gaan saam op toer… Akona, Chilli en Bakkies is nog effe geflok en toer nie!
Hellooooo Puma brudda!
Boys, talk later, going downstairs to start the fire for a family breakfast, skilpaadjies, pofadders, bacon and such….sommker sjampanje ook wt e hel….
See you afterwards.
Wat is die odds dat die Saders hulle 4de drie kry met 7 minute oor?
… en daar gebeur dit…. Sean Maitland try
Nice Flokken nice hardloop van daar jul D@se
62 – GBS, Now you know how us Sharkies feel. Just look back at the Chiefs, 2nd half of the Cheetahs, Tahs and Brumbies games. We really got the worst from the refs there. Not good at all.
Though Bulls were trying to run it too much against a very good Canes defence. They were just not breaking through there even when Canes were 14 men. Then you take your kick at poles ALWAYS. Bulls were not doing this. Was driving me crackers. Thought they might just lose because of that. Just pleased Victor said go for poles to Steyn in that last penalty.
Saders 39 / 19
Dit help net my Sbru, goeie donner wat hulle gaan doen met sulke morone soos Dick en Carlos??
Nee wragtig, afrigting van hierdie Leeu span is pateties. Jy speel teen een van die beste spanne in die reeks, en dan begin jy te hardloop in jou eie kwartlyn. ‘n Span met geen selfvertroue doen nie sulke dinge nie, jy sorg eers dat jy in ‘n aanvallende posisie kom. Twee drieë so op ‘n skinkbord gegee vir die Saders, deur dom foute.
Ai ai Earle Rose.
72@ Puma – Wynand Meisiekind was watched like a hawk all evening last night, the Canes centres did not give an inch!
72: Mos gesê ‘altitude’ is nie so groot faktor in die aande nie ! 😉
I see that wetalkrugby hasn’t even bothered to start a thread for this game.
…. en daar try Spencer dit run van agter sy try line….
75
Nou weer van agter die pale
77: ek wou nog noem gisteraand: Pieter R-hulle sal so bietjie variasie moet inbou, en ander spelers ook gebruik in die agterlyn om oor die voordeellyn te kom. WO is nou ‘n gemerkte man, en ‘n hele paar van ons aanvalle is geneutraliseer, omdat die Canes spelers elke keer vinnig 2/3 manne bygehad het as WO grond toe gaan.
Hoop Jaco P is reg, want Dippies beindruk my nie baie nie. Wonder hoe sal JLP op buitesenter doen ?
Try Saders…. replacement scrummie
Saders win 46 / 19
Another hiding for the Lions.
The Crusaders are beatable though.
Lions hoort nie in S14 nie, hulle help ander SA spanne niks nie, dis siek man, PD, hulle gee die ander spanne honderde punte verniet
79: wonder of hul op ‘n ondersteuner-staking gegaan het, want daar is niemand nie ? 😉
77 – GBS, Yip Canes defence was very good. Then you always take you 3 points when you get them when a game is that tight.
Just pleased Bulls won.
Lions maybe should go back to basics. Try not run everything all the time from everywhere.
82@ BiDiBiDi – Ek dink Jacques-Louis Potgieter moet inkom op binnesenter met Wynand wat buitesenter toe skuiwe.
Ok, time for breakfast and then the Sharks first win of the season.
84 – Loosehead, Saders are beatable. Think they will struggle against the Bulls and Stormers on their tour here.
Hope Cheetahs give them a really good game in Christchurch.
