Have a close look at the time for kick-off on this one… in about 90 minutes.
Suppose I better do a little bit of work till then!
I hear Cheetahs Rugby captain Adriaan Strauss may be sidelined for tomorrows match because of Bronchitis
2 @ Just For Kicks:
That will be a massive loss for the Cheetahs, Adriaan Strauss has been their stand-out player by a mile…
Their other stand-out player, Johan Goosen is only on the bench, carrying the AC joint injury niggle.
OK, time to shuffle up… game time in less than 5 minutes
Think I may sneak home for a bit to watch this one, I fear that you, GBS, may need some company!
Players out on the pitch
5 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, sneak home… do it NOW!
Game ON!
Waratahs playing in White…
Why oh why could the Bulls not have used White as an alternate strip for away games!
My Bru prediction says Waratahs by 7
Waratahs penalty, and an easy shot at goal
Brendan McKibbin misses to the right
Some deft handling by the Farce
@ grootblousmile:
Daai pick van jou gesien, hehehehe, lyk ietwat desperaat, moet se!
… as I say that, the Farce knock the ball…
14 @ Pietman:
Wat het jy gepick, ouboet!
Another penalty to the Tahs… this one on about halfway, kick to touch
Farce get a turn-over scrum, maul held up
Scrum penalty Tahs… kickable.
Against Mafu
Over
Waratahs 3 / 0 Force
Tahs looking the much stronger and organised unit, so far
Hell, I should just keep my trap shut… Tahs first with a wild pass… and now skew into the lineout by their hooker
Relieving Tahs penalty
@ grootblousmile:
s benson, nou hierdie ou.
Rebels natuurlik! Nogal met 13!
Nog n Stanley op senter, hierdie keer Winston…….eerste wedstryd was dit Benson Stanley. Nou kort ons nog net vir Hedges Stanley, dan het ons ou ‘Smokin’ Joe Stanley se hele rokers-nageslag bymekaar op die veld!
24 @ Pietman:
Hehehehe
Rebels speel nie in hierdie game nie….
@ Pietman:
Delete first sentence please, laptop playing up again, sorry.
I picked the Tahs by 3, I think. I was impressed with the bru picks in the Sharkies match, when I did my picks a few days ago, by then there were only a couple of picks for the Sharks, the rest the Blues, but when I looked earlier, the Sharks he’d received the majority of picks. Good to see S Africans going for the SA sides, even if not their own teams
@ Pietman:
O flok ja! Nou weet ek nie wat ek gepick het nie, sal moet gou kyk…..
Right, home for a while, feet up, bring it on
Try Tom Kingston for the Tahs
