    58@ Vuurtjie – Ek was al heelwat daar op daai steil pawiljoene…. soos byvoorbeeld op die dag van die 2007 Super 14 final… hehehehe

  • 62

    Ek hoor die lekker is buite die tenk, veral na die game

  • 63

    The game broke my heart Gbs,I dont want to talk about the robbery 🙂

  • 64

    Winston,

    now you’re talking, that’s something I haven’t seen at Moftus….there it’s just the game.

    At the Tank everyone gets there between 3 and 4 hrs before the game and spend the afternoon with family and friends having a braai and a kuier….it’s brilliant.

  • 65

    Fire,I was very impressed with the guy who played 3 for the U 20 Boks against Argentina,think he has some serious potential.

  • 66

    Winston did you get the champagne kork back?

  • 67

    Yeah Fire the problem is though it usually lands up being a huge piss up with mates and a sore head every Sunday 🙂

  • 68

    grootPienk,

    My vrou HAAT daai pawiljoene, mens moet maar mooi trap daar of jy sien jou en ander se gat.

    Maar mens het ‘n excellent view oor die hele game met daai pawiljoene. Blou Nul supporters word nie toegelaat by die braai voor en na die game nie, veral nie as die Sharks verloor het nie. 😉

    64@ Vuurtjie – You obviously have not read Debbie Smit’s expose about our Loftus rituals…. our braai and suip stories beforehand made the Sunday papers man…

    All around Loftus, at Affies, at Girls High, on the sidewalks and parks thousands and thousands braai before and after the games…..

    Winston,

    And hard to find a designated driver.

  • 71

    Lol,Super that was the worst sporting memory I’ve ever had in my life,have never had such a swing in emotions in my life.

  • 72

    grootPienk,

    At the Tank we’ve got proper parking, we braai at the Tank, not some poor school’s back yard… 😆

  • 73

    I just catch a taxi then 🙂

  • 74

    Winston 71,

    Chiefs game came close though.

  • 75

    Damnit,

    By reading the comments, it’s obvious that this game is BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING

  • 76

    Never ever,that was the worst by some distance.

  • 77

    72@ Vuurtjie – We’re so organised, we’ve even taken our Mobile Satelite Dish, Moosa TV and DSTV Decoder to watch the game before or after…. whilst braaiing…. seriaas!

    I’d say that Loftus and ABSA Park Deben are the 2 prime venues for a good kuier before and after.

    I think we parked at Raiders the last time we were at ABSA Park.

  • 78

    Gbs,I think you mean Rovers,its a ground next to the stadium 🙂

  • 79

    Hierdie ref blaas die Force nou dood, hulle het seker sy bribe verdubbel

  • 80

    grootPienk,

    Streamers might be joining the braai party seeing as they’re finally able to string some wins together. 🙂

  • 81

    78@ Winnie – Rovers, yes…. that’s it…. we Bulls were the Raiders at Rovers….. hehehehe

  • 82

    Yeah,you Bulls dont play games when you come down to Kings Park. I must cruise. Be back for the Stormers game bud.

  • 83

    Pis hierdie ref julle nie ook af nie

  • 84

    83 @ SuperBul – Neewat… nie juis nie.

  • 85

    Waratahs gaan vandag hul 3de gifted game kry

  • 86

    Last movement of the match…

  • 87

    Game over

    Waratahs win by 4

  • 88

    Phil Waugh was nie reg daar nie ek sweer en ek sweer nie sommer nie

  • 89

    Dit sal help as die refs ook ingelig word ons speel nie meer laasjaar se reels nie. Shrek het met altwee daai strafskoppe geen ‘daylight’ gelos nie. G’n wonder spelers weet nie meer wat om te doen by die ‘breakdown’s’ nie, want die refs weet ook nie !

    As iemand nie begin om hierdie blatante oortredings van Waugh uitwys en skree soos destyds met McCaw nie gaan hy n SA span nog die trofee kos, mark my words. Klaar gepraat, lees die match reports as julle wil stry. Hy is erger skelm as wat MaCaw ooit kon droom om te wees.
