@ Puma @ 118:
I will go crazy if i have to navigate through that traffic every day. People in the cities are missing quality time with family in the traffic.
@ Puma:
Hi Puma how you doing, think you follow cricket as well? Looks like an interesting game developing in the Champions League between Warriors and Wyamba, chasing 154 the Warriors looked to be cruising but now lost a few wickets. What do you make of Kevin Pietersens brief return to his motherland?
Oi, ugly bump by Kwas man on Jano, without the ball after chipping… could have been a try.
Yellow for Kwas man and a penalty right in front.
Lions 26 / 15
Another try Taute….
Now the Lions are opening the throttle…
Leeus now running away with the game.
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TAUTE..
Lions doing well here.
Lions 33 / 15

There’s my Bru margin… hehehe
Stop the game ref…..
Kwasse gaan nou pakslae kry.
@ Bullscot:122 – I am well Bullscot. Will change over channels quick to see what is happening with the crici. Thanks mate.
@ Puma:
Good stuff lucky you can watch it on TV, I’m just following the ‘net commentary.
Tryyyyyyyy Bjorn Basson.
Very good running and passing by Riaan Viljoen
@ Bullscot:122 – Hey!! When did he come back? Well never even knew he came back for a bit. Maybe just so caught up in the rugby at the moment.
Nice try by kwas.
Mooi hardloop rugby.
Lions 33 / 22
18 missed tackles by Kwas, a bok stat.

He will be joining Natal/Dolphins for two 4 day games in October, in an effort to help him regain form ahead of the Ashes, he has been playing as a non contracted player for Surrey for a bit now but he is really off form. Apparently he will play for free so you guys are quite happy to have hime for those games.
Check Bjorn Basson and Sarel Pretorius, who needs Habana and Januarie et al, kies DIE ouens vir die Bokspan, hulle is honger vir speel……en skop Muir en Gold onder hulle se gatte en kry vir Gert Smal, Balie Swart, en Pieter Rossouw en NOG EEN vir die agterlyn….ons het die spelers en ons het die afrigters, hoekom sal ons nou so sukkel met die Bokke?
PdeV is orraait, maar ek begin al hoe meer dink, soos ek hierdie rugby kyk, dat ons hulpafrigters is kuk.
@ grootblousmile:
Mmmm is the gap too big for Kwas to haul in specially a man down? But they have scored the 2nd most amount of tries this Currie Cup and Basson is on fire!
Kwas fighting back like the Bulls did last week.
Kwas penalty, they don’t go for posts, they go for touch.
@ Bullscot:140 – Bullscot, Just had to go and read quick on Supersport. See he is coming to play for the Dolphins here in Durbs for two games. between the 7th and 17th of October. Just to works on his game against the Kookaburra ball they use in the SH. He wont be getting pain by the Dophins. So it seems it is just to help him out with some crici and getting used to playing against the Kookabarra before going to play the Ashes.
Suppose it is a win, win situation. We get him to play for us (maybe win a game for us, who knows) but he gets to train a bit here too.
Thanks for letting me know he is on his way here.
Wow!!!!!! Wonder how he will feel been back home? His Parents still live here. So maybe he will enjoy those days here.
@ Puma:145
works = work
pain = paid
COME ON LIONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Don’t let this slip now.
@ Pietman:141 – Piet, Basson, S. Pretorius but ADD Lwazi Mvovo to that list too. He is playing brilliant at the moment.
@ Puma:
Yes will be interesting to see how he gets on, guess he has to try something cause on current form he will be no good to England. Just strange to see him return to a place he very publicly turned his back on. Also from the Dolphins point of view a bit odd decision as I thought they had decided to bring through a lot of their own youngsters now. Can’t see him being any help in assisting the youngs ones with their play am sure this is all about KP, but maybe I’m wrong and they may learn something from him as well.

Ideally I would like the Lions to get just 2 more penalties, no bonus point try…
