Good luck to my Sharks.
Also well done to Lions on making the final. May the best team win. Hoping like crazy it is my Sharks. 🙂
Also really hope that Mark Lawrence has a great game and is fair to both sides. Really hope we don’t see any useless reffing like we done during the world cup this year. Seen enough bad reffing in the wc this year to last me a lifetime. From Mark we expect the best and hope both teams are treated with the same consistency through out the game.
Really looking forward to seeing a full Ellis Park. That alone is just magnificent for South African rugby.
Goooooooooooo Rugbyyyyyyyyyy!

Nou vir die grote. Sterkte vir albei spanne, mag die beste baardspan wen.
Sorry – Hawera
Fark, I cannot bring myself to support either of these sides…. so I’ll just support good rugby!
India 120 for 9 in their allotted 20, England should walk this one, but with there previous performances in India, anythings possible
@ grootblousmile:
I’ll support the cheerleaders. And i promise to support them with all my strength!
Predictions?
8@ grootblousmile:Probably a good thing for you, that old ticker of yours (much like Superbul’s), probably wouldn’t be able to take much more
@ Just For Kicks:
It’s not my ticker that’s gonna be doing the supporting, bru

Hey, they’re children!
… or as my wife, Handbriekie, would say… “Stout Dogters”….
You old filthy peadophile!
Afternoon All….So it is the last big game.
Suppose I will not talk to you lot again for M O N T H S now!!
Especially as I have NOT been invited to the golf day!! 🙁
14@ grootblousmile:I stand by YT, and if that makes me a paedophile too, then so be it – my ticker can handle it!
@ grootblousmile:
I promise, i’ll check their ID’s first! The old ladies are just jealous. Take no notice of them.
15 @ Blue Bird:
Hello,
You were invited, as was everyone else… you indicated you could not attend !
We won’t be closing, we’ll host some cricket, golf, the Baa-baas game, some Sevens Rugby… if if we really must some Northern Hemisphere rugby… but hey, that’s a last resort only… hehehe
It’s the Beast vs the Beard
11@ grootblousmile:
Heart say’s Lions, but the head is speaking with a tinge of sea breeze.
Copped out on Superbru and took the draw.

Calm, collected, speaks well… good leader… and leads by example.
Possible Bokke captain for the future??
