    @ Ashley:
    Om eerlik te wees , het jy nie die Lions gepick nie? Jantjies is terug en hul luck moet draai. Ek sal darem brag as hulle wen.

    Bulls maak my meer worry, hulle sal sommer vasval teen die Rebels, hulle is uiters onbestendig vanjaar.

    @ superBul:
    Reckon you’re right. Could make a very interesting Doctorate Thesis. “Superbru community predictions and expectations.” by Dr superBul.

    BTW, Mitchell has replaced Jannie Boschoff on the Lions bench with Butch James.

    He must be impressed with the Old Timer’s experience.

    Well I went Brunbies by 15 in that game. My hart has bled enough red blood for the last decade. Time for the brain to rule now!
