Missed most of this game now. Always try to keep Fridays free, but somehow Fridays have been damn busy for me.
Looks like one way traffic here for Landers from what I have seen the last few min.
There goes my DSTV signal, it’s hailing here like crazy!

@ grootblousmile:
dis een ding wat ek haat as die weer nie goed is nie dan is daar geen game time, England kan sê dankie daar is nie DSTV daar nie ek meen daai mense sou nooit tv kon kyk nie……
@ grootblousmile:49 – Great weather here, blue sky and not much humidity. 🙂
Not much at the tv so can’t keep you up todate with this game. In a teleconference now.
@ Scrumsaam:51 – We need cable tv. Weather don’t affect that at all.
Flok… what a big farkup…. DSTV went, then the power went for a fe minutes….
Busy restarting EVERYTHING here now….
@ grootblousmile:54 – hehehe. Must come from the storm up there. Must say I do miss those huge thunderstorms of Joburg. But not when the rugby is on.
Jeez, Rebels must be awful. One week they play well the next they are totally out of it. Only watched about 3min of this game. Was so busy this morning even missed the Saders game.
Now hope the Landers can give Saders a game next week. Cause the Cheetahs came close to beating Landers last week.
Anyhow. Well done Landers.
Hello all just been keeping an eye on the score in between watching rerun of last weekends Melrose sevens. Hamilton of Cape Town first game won, couple of hours of highlights still to go though. Top player so far for Hamilton with four tries Alshaun Bok.
Okay teleconference over . Heck those Chilieans can waffle on..hehe. Nice people though.
Okay now out of here.
Just read on sw that James O’Conner has signed with Rebels. Also there is rumours that Pocock, Brown and Hodgson may sign too. Heck the Rebels are building a good team for next year.
Then read on Sports24 that Nz and Oz are after Sarel. Wonder if Sarel will be snapped up by Rebels as well?
@ Puma:
Reports are incorrect Puma, O’Connor is not going to the Rebels.
