GO LIONNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

#4 ja jy kan weer so 12h30 gaan werk, jy kan dit morning sickness noem 🙂
#7 – kan dit bankalites noem moet op die bank lê tot ek alright is…..
Somehow it is a bit difficult for me to get too excited about this game.
I recon that Waratahs tactics would be to play it tighter than what the Lions will attempt to do.
Personally, I would have taken the Tahs on through the channels around No 9 and 10…
If I was a Tahs supporter, which thankfully I’m not, I would want to take the Lions on out wide…. at the wings…. and past the slow JP Joubert at No 9.
#8 hehehe dit kan werk…..
Wil net vir julle gou wys watse mail het ons van ons baas gekry…..maar moet net nie vra om rugby of s14 te kyk nie hoor….

3 – Groot, never mind your Bru. GO THE LIONS. I have Lions by 3.
Am back boys and greetings to the lovely Tripples
Right…kick off…
12 – Hugs, Good need to support our teams over there.
Hallooooooooooo TH, good to hear from you again
Shall I suffer the Ozzie Commentators or shall I suffer Kobus Wiese’s commentary….. nahhhh Kobus is a much better option!
What’s the difference between chopped beef and pea soup?
Everyone can chop beef, but not everyone can pea soup!
I have Tahs by 3 but am definitely rooting for our Lions….I do feel they might take this one, think it is their best chance for a win
#10 ja wel dis hoe dit hier gaan, ek het so mail gekry omtrent n maand terug wat ook sê ons moet nie te veel bel nie maar my baas wat die e-mail stuur as jy hom soek dan is hy op die foon….
A magician was driving down the road..then he turned into a drive way…
😆
Hallo Hugs…
No more chainsaw noises hey… 😉
Why don’t aliens eat clowns.
Because they taste funny…
It is not that I am supporting the Waratahs, I just can’t see the Lions winning.
Tahs by 15, no faith in the lions but we can hope…
Great try saving tackle by Lions…Chavanga I think
Phew!!!! almost a try there for Tahs. Good tackling by Lions to save that.
Come now Lions.
GBS, Please ban Blouste for his :poop: jokes.
Tahs on Lions line…
GBS
Take the aussie commentators and makew sure you dont take them seriously and you will see the funny side. Block your ears when you hear Marto voice.
I reckon if the waratahs want to pick up bonus points then they will need to go wide…they have pace to burn.
Lions may have a fast back three but if they are outnumbered there is no hope. Take on the inside channel and draw in defenders…suck in the back line and run for your life.
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Waratahs.
