Hello Asblikkie… jou moegoe!
Ek hoor jy spot al heel week met ons Pienk Bulle!
puma @ 58
ja, i think the rebels are feeling a bit pinkish, if you know what i mean … wink wink
Plaas ek met my eerste gedagte gegaan het en die Landers gepick het… maar neeeeeeeeeeee, toe dink ek te lank…
pietman @ 59
vanoggend gereën, nou darem bietjie sonskyn
gbs
kan myself nie verhelp nie … dis die groot game d naweek en ek gaan beslis nie my mond hou omdat ek bang is ons gaan verloor nie, lol
Flok, lyk my moremiddag van 14:00 af is ek by ‘n Show, by die Barnyard Theatre hier in Doosburg…. maar sal terug wees, in pienk, vir die groot game!!
Penalty Landers, longish one… but Ben Smith should go for goal… and does.
Quite short

Erken maar, julle is kuk bang vir mnore ou pella!
63 @ GBS,
Welkom terug GBS, dog jy gaan wegkruip tot die verleentheid van die pienk skakeerings bedaar het! Lol, so ek kan dalk biki inhaal op Bru, as jy die Rebels gepick het bwahahaaaa
Distance too far. That is where we in SA are tops with our big kickers. Frans Steyn, Goosen, Viljoen and Morne.
Landers penalty advantage.
They get the penalty.
Landers ALL over the Rubbles now!
gbs @ 65
ek is seker jy gaan pragtig lyk!!
Howzit all, had to pop into the cellar for a bit, see the Landers are doing the right thing, but doing a bit too much for my liking, I think – can’t remember my prediction
67 @ Cheetah4eva:
Hello Oranje Man!
PS! Ek is nou gatvol vir PC’s… die goed loop al by my ore uit!
62@ Ashley:
hahahaha. Ash give it to em……….hehehe.
Think it will be a massive game tomorrow, but a close one.
70 @ Ashley:
Ja… pragtig… en vir die okkasie sal ek my nick verander na grootpienksmile
NO CARD!!!!! Jonker, is jy gesuip, flippit, wat van Hougie????
Where is the consistency in all this?
Try to the Landers again…. Mackintosh!
Landers 31 / 12 Rebels
77@ Pietman:
Jonker is useless. Definitely not one of our great refs we have.
Rebels not in the game at all anymore…
77@ Pietman:
There will be a citing though, I would think!
Against Cooper Vuna
76@ grootblousmile:
Bwaaaahaaaa. Grootpienksmile..hehe.
You may as well go the whole hog and make the site background in pink tomorrow… hehehe.
@ Puma:
Jonker from your neck of the woods, no? Richards Bay, I think….
Landers almost through again.. just a little problem at the end… accidental obstruction.
Scrum Rebels, on their own 5m line
Here I was worried I picked the wrong team. Should have gone for a bigger margin with Landers. Just never know this year so keeping my margins low. That way could pick a half point…………..haha
83 @ Puma:
Brilliant idea… I might just do it for the game…. heehehehehe
Ben Smith cuts the Rubbles to Recycled Waste…. trytime
Landers 38 / 12 Rubbles
@ Puma:
Good idea!!!!
@ Puma:
GPS, how about a pink site for tomorrow? Get Bonzai to dollie it up in pink a bit, hehehehehehe!
