157 @ The_Young_Turk:
If only I could….. holle is al seer man!
Was a good game….
A bloody good day’s rugby!
What a wonderful sport we have!
@ smallies72:154 – Smallies why if a ref is kak he has to come from Natal? What a lot of rubbish. Your hatred for Natal people is blinding you.
@ Puma:
Don’t take it personally Puma mate. Some people take their sport a little too seriously.
Okay I am off.
The CC was superb to watch. Better than the WC games this morning, cause the wc games were so one sided.
Cheers everyone.
Well done to the Bulls and Cheetahs.
@ The_Young_Turk:163 – I know Turk, but some of the Cheetah supporters this year have had it in for us Natal people. Why I have no idea. Something to do with a ref that got everything wrong when Sharks were playing Cheetahs. I was away on holiday then so have no idea how that game went. Just read the pure hatred here about the Sharks and their supporters after that game cause of some ref that got it wrong.
Anyhow I am off. Not going to read rubbish about the people of my province. Plenty really good folks here.
I always come here and congratulate the winning side.
Good luck to Scotland tomorrow. Really hope they can do it.
Cheers buddy. Going to see who is online on keo.
@ Puma:
moet my nie te ernstig op neem nie maat dis niks persoonlik nie,ek check maar net nie daai kant van die wereld nie.
162 @ Puma:
Old Smallies72 hates Natal for the fact that they have “stolen” or bought such a lot of Cheetahs players…
I’m sure he does’nt mean it personally, old Puma
The man is hurt…. be kind to him…. hehehe
154 @ smallies72:
Hey, gedra jou…. hehehe
2 Of the 3 matches early in the morning are very important Pool place deciders.
At 04:30 we have the Pool D (in which the Springboks also feature) game between Fiji and Samoa. Should Fiji win, it completely changes the complection of the match between the Springboks and Samoa next week. I expect Samoa to win though, making it very important for the Springboks to beat Samoa next week.
At 09:30 we have Argentina vs Scotland, basically the decider to determine who goes home and who goes on to the quarters in their Pool. This is pretty big!
At 07:00 we have the match between Ireland and Russia, where Ireland should not have too much of a problem dispatching Russia… and should Ireland win, there is no reason why they should not top their Pool, Pool C.
See you guys at 04:30 sharp. Please join me, I know it is early but it would be so much better to have company!
Well done Bulls and Cheetahs. Unexpected results, but the run in to semi finals now becomes very interesting….But no thanks for upsetting my Superbru.
Tomorrow morning….C’mon the Flower of Scotland….you can do it!!!
