Well, great game, thanks lads. Some very good performances from the likes of the twins, Strauss, Hercu and Johnson, when he came on.
299@ bos_otter:
Your team will Bos. They a very good side this year. Pity Strauss was out with flu today. Also a pity Goosen never started. Even so Cheets pick up a bonus point. Well done to your team.
For a team at the top of the NZ…..poor performance cosidering
@ Puma:
Cheers buddy!!
Will HAVE to watch this game later tonight, sounds like it was a good one.
301 @ Just For Kicks:
Kickers, are you out of the Admin Edit… just want to fine-tune a bit.
@ bos_otter:
Considering what? They were put off their stride by a very willing Staat team but showed their class in the end.
If the Cheetahs can just shore up their defence a bit, they’ll become serious contenders
305@ grootblousmile:yes
308 @ Just For Kicks:
Thanks tjom…. hope you root for the Bulls now!
Chiefs het baie goed gedoen, 5 punt wen in SA is goed, goeie span.
306@ The_Young_Turk: This was quite possibly the second hardest game that the Chiefs have played this season. Give the Freestate credit where it is due.
@ Loosehead:
And what did I say?
309@ grootblousmile:Its great when you are an impartial watcher!!!!!!! Goooo South Africaaaaa!!!!
@ Loosehead:
Are you reading my comments or just lashing out because your team lost?
@ The_Young_Turk:
Turk….considering they are the best that NZ has to offer, against the fact that they are the NZ conference leaders, they should have performed a lot better
Oh well, off to the next thread, I feel like such a slut, just going from room to room!!!!
@ bos_otter:
But that’s my point! They were not allowed to perform because the CTahs did not lie down and let them. The CTahs are a good team who gave it their all.
316 @ Just For Kicks:
SLUT!!
…. or better still in Afrikaans….
Jou SLUWE SLET !!
@ The_Young_Turk:
lol….my point as well mate :)…let’s just blame it on “lost in translation”
@ The_Young_Turk: Take it easy.
@ The_Young_Turk:
oh, and the fact that I had a couple of good SA red’s while watching the game 🙂
@ Loosehead:
Nah Loose…..Turkey is a standup chap
