Nee wragtig, dalk nog gelykop, albei spanne het goeie rugby gespeel, maar soos Wilhelm na die tyd gesê het, jy moet speel tot 80 minute om te wen.
Jammer ou Sarel het daardie laaste een gefouteer, maar verder was hy skitterend.
dis genoeg om jou in jou broek te laat poefie
@ smallies72:115 – Smallies, I feel for you and all the Cheetah supporters. So sorry boet. Felt really heartsore to see Canes get that last try.
I suppose I should be thankful for my Bru’s sake…. scant consolation, though
@ smallies72:122 – Sarel was outstanding today. Just that last pass should have kept possession. But easy for us to say it here. Things like that happen. He is our best scrummie in South Africa right now. Just a pity that happened. Was a good game to watch. Really, really wanted your team to win it boeta.
@ grootblousmile:124 – I had Cheetahs to win. Anyhow not worried about my bru.
I have gone down 1 position on Bru, but narrowed the gap with the frontrunners to just 4.5 points….
I am coming… buiding up steam….. watch out!
bdb gaan ons nou Bulle thread toe, ek wil graag jou menings hoor
@ Cheetah4eva:117 – Sorry boet. Feel for all the Cheetah supporters.
@ grootblousmile:127 – 😆
Okay out of here now. Cheers everyone.
Well done Cheetahs and Canes.
Catch up tomorrow.
