@ superBul:
Die Vrystaat sal dit volgende week moet doen.
Well well well….now just look at that…guess who’s back in town!!! well played Lions
Well well i must say this , Jantjies is REAL, he will go far. He is fearless, uses his brain, i liked watching him. He scans the field and play with freedom. And he is tough, not a softy.
Heading up to a nerve-racking last few weeks.
Now’s the time to be on top form…… heed that lesson, Bulls!!
Well done Lions.
Next week is a biggie!
Something’s wrong. This is the second game this season that I’ve caught myself cheering for the Lions. Now where’s that Bob Martin?
Wat praat Stransky, Leeus kan nog maklik die semi’s haal, wen die Ctahs volgende week, dan is hul daar.
Must be one of the best contested run-up to the finals in about 10 years….bulls,lions,cheetahs…..who’s not going to make it? 🙂
What does the Log say now?
Sharks 47
WP 43
Bulls 38
Cheetahs 37
Lions??
So iets?
Wen WP met ‘n bonus op Loftus, kan hul nog eerste eindig deur Sharks te wen sonder om bonuspunt af te staan.
Verloor Bulle sonder bonuspunt teen WP, en Leeus wen Ctahs, dan skuif Bulle uit na 5de.
Log:
Sharks 47
WP 43
Bulls 38
Cheetahs 37
Lions 35
Griquas 31
As ek eerlik is, verdien my span op HUIDIGE vorm nie om onder die top 4 te wees nie. Maar, onthou, die CB word nie einde Sept gewen nie. 😀
162@ bdb:
Verloor die Cheetahs teen die Lions, dan BEHOORT die Bulls steeds bo hulle te wees…. afhangende van bonuspunte
@ bdb:
ons ploeter nou so aan na die semis, hoop die manne vind sommer so uit die BLOUTE vorm.
164: BUD ON DE UDER HANT DERM, as jou span swak tot gemiddeld speel, en die ander spanne speel goed, en jy is nog steeds 3de op die log, dan sê dit hoeveel karakter die jong bul span het.
Next week it is important to win…. for all the competing teams.
Hope the Bulls can do it, they are 5 points behind the WP on the Log….
165: ja, die Ctahs se punteverskil is 41 meer as ons s’n. Ons het geslip vandag, moes dit opgemaak het vandag. Dit is so al of die bul span nie kan goed speel as daar nie druk op hul is nie. Dit gaan hul ongelukkig een of ander tyd vang.
166@ superBul:
Onthou om die Logs te doen SuperBul
Bulle speel mos eers goed as hul rug teen die muur is. Wel ons is nou amper mooi in die hoek. As ons daai koppie wil lig moet ons eenvoudig 4/4 wen
@ grootblousmile:170 – Does Bulls play WP next week?
172@ Puma:
Yes.
Games left for Bulls: WP (home), Griquas (away)
Games left for WP: Bulls (away), Sharks (home)
Games left for Sharks: Leopards (home), WP (away)
Games left for Cheetahs: Lions (home), Leopards (away)
Games left for Lions: Cheetahs (away), Pumas (home)
Games left for Griquas: Pumas (away), Bulls (home)
Bulle, Ctahs en Lions kan nog ‘n tuissemi kry. Daar is nou basies 4 uitkloprondtes wat voorlê.
@ grootblousmile:
170
Done
Sharks should pick up the 5 points next week. Then against Province the following, not too sure if we can win at Newlands. That will be a very tough game. Today we picked up one point so it all counts.
gbs, your site still very, very slow. I was blogging on SW mostly during this game cause of it. It was snap, snap there with sending posts and refreshing.
Okay cheers everyone. Off to watch some crici for a change. Go the Warriors……. 😀
Sharks is verseker van ‘n tuissemi, die vraag is nou net of hul 1 of 2 gaan eindig.
Kon ou Snorbaard nie maar die Bokke vrygestel het vir die laaste 2 rondtes nie ? 😉
@ grootblousmile:173 – gbs, Those are tough games for Province, then if Bulls played like they done today Province could beat Bulls at home. Sharks too need Lambie to get back to his best. Needs to work on his kicking if he does we might have a chance against Province. Hoping. Otherwise Province could beat both our teams and top the log.
Once again well done to the Lions.
Now off to watch the crici. Cheers everyone.
176@ Puma:
Correction, Puma’s PC is VERY, VERY slow on R-T…. huge difference
Before I go. It is good to see Lions back up again. Good to have 5 strong teams once again in SA rugby. Makes for more exciting rugby. Next year in the S15 it is going to be damn hard against each other.
Okay now out of here.
