Yes Puma, it was very sad.
Maties 25 / 11
87 – Naand BdB, Yes I miss Carol and Supa. Have not seen Carol around for a long time. Treehugger either.
Loosehead is on most days. Was blogging with us during the Bulls game.
Puma whats the story with Tendulkar . Think he did not lose his wicket yet. Are they not allowed to bowl him, like in oldies rugby. 😆
90: daai voorry en Brok Harris sal ‘n goeie senterkombinasie uitmaak vir die Stormers.
Message on Varsity Cup website
Our (server) just pulled a hammy – nothing a bit of massage and magic water can’t cure. We’ll be back in action shortly.
92 – Boerboel, Just be strong. Time heals and this is the time you need your friends and family the most.
Did you go overseas a month back? Remember seeing post here from you that you were where there was snow.
Congrats to your Stormers. They playing fantastic rugby. All the best to them for their tour.
Burger is back like a bang. He is playing brilliant rugby. The best I have seen him play ever actually.
Boerbul
Die sussie, was dit n skielike ding, sy was mos nog jonk, jonger as ons, as ek reg onthou?
Wonder if my daughter is there on the pavillions
95 – Super, Don’t know. Been out the whole afternoon and only came back now. Turned on the tv and saw they needed about 28 off 33 balls at the time. They should win easy.
Another try by a Maties front rower… Dobson again
Puma
Yes, Boerboel is near your old hometown, doing his doctorate over there in the Netherlands.
Maties 32 / 11
Mumbai need 6 runs to win off of 15 balls. Easy peasy.
Ja Pietman, sy was maar 47, kanker was die oorsaak.
103 – Hello Piet, I thought he was. Said to someone here the otherday I thought he was over there again.
Hallo Pietman, Boerboel and Puma
GO MATIES 🙂
No dont worry Puma that was a joke , like in oldies rugby where you are not allowed to tackle the old boys certain places. Not sure the rules now. But i remembered you were only allowed to tackle the 55 and over guys on the ankles.
Lyk my hul kan maar elke jaar net die ‘finaal’ speel tussen die Tamaties en die IK’s, al daardie ligawedstryde is onnodig !
Puma, yes, here for 2 months, go back this weekend
108: Ja, Karen Le Roux, jy groet mos nie, ai die kapenaars.
106 – Boerboel, That is very young. My brother died 6 days before his 51st birthday. So young. Now we both must remember only the happy times. It makes it easier.
See you back in Holland. Did you keep your bicycle? Where do you keep it when you back here?
Ek wonder hoeveel Varsity Cup babatjies is al gemaak, daai Kaapse studente rafel erg uit!
Hallo bdb – ek is vanaand FOUR COUSINS 🙂
BB@106
Ai toggie, laat n man dink wanneer sulke dinge gebeur, veral as ons gesonde mense oor nonsens stry en baklei….nogmaals jammer om te hoor ou Kalahariseun, sterkte jong, met al jou dinge.
Ons praat weer, ek moet nou hol vir die vuur hier onder en die vleis gaan opsit, Maties het die game in die sakkie!
Tjeers jong, en al julle ander RT’s.
112 – Boerboel, Well you sure timed it wrong….hahahaha. There in the winter months.
Must say I would like to visit Holland again sometime.
Maties hol nou weg met die game
