Having watched the final 3 minutes of the Bulls game yesterday, so by the way that is all that i saw, I cant wait for the 5 second use it rule.
Maybe just maybe we will then realise that 3 minutes from the end when needing 6 points to win you DONT let the ball lie on the floor for 2 of those minutes. Pick the farking thing up and use it properly, vary your tactics.
I am glad i missed this game, i could have had a heart attack.
Listening just now to Naas, i think my assessment is quite right.
We claim to be the best site, i agree we are a pleasant place to visit and certainly the first rugby site i visit. Take this as constructive criticism, why is there not a match report after the games anymore. I know i can take the blame too, i use to copy a few reports from differing sites and sometimes placed bits and pieces together to make up a report. Was criticized for it but at least we could stay on our site and read a report within minutes. Just For Kicks at least puts up his own report , albeit a day later, but because it is his own view , and not influenced by other sports writers he is worth the wait.
Just a thought, we must put up match reports, some of us want to hear a opinion of the game that we missed. Reading through 400 comments to pick up what happened is not on for a busy man
Can you believe you heard it from a ex Telkom gravy trainer?
All Blacks and Chiefs centre Sonny Bill Williams has become the victim of a burglary while he was out helping the Chiefs beat the Bulls.

Watch this great catch
2@ superBul:Agree, we should do match reports for the games – GBBS get a roster up, there are enough people to do it, Turkey for one does bugger all but gobble his way to the dinner table every match! I’ll do some, and there must be some more. We’re certainly falling behind some other sites in this regard.
Howzit all, and here’s to a looooooong rugby weekend.
Well the players are out, Goooo Canes
Helllooooooooo
Game ON!
Good run by Smith sees the Canes into Rebels territory, only to knock it on. Scrum Rebels
@ grootblousmile:Morning boss
Enjoy the games, i must go and Slave again. Will watch the 2 late games today , see you all then.
Canes looking the stronger unit so far, but their ball handling is leaving a lot to be desired.
10@ superBul:Cheers bud
9 @ Just For Kicks:
Morning Kickers…. I overslept… pressed the snooze button twice too many.
My eyes feel like muispunanie in pairing time….
Jeeeeez, I need a freegin good Orange Juice NOW…
Rebels turn now, attacking line out in Canes 22, and try to Vuna
Try Cooper Vuna for the Rebels!
Rebels 7 / 0 Hurricanes
Penalty Canes, shot at goal for Beauden Barrett
Rebels 7 / 3 Hurricanes
13@ grootblousmile:You need a wife who NEVER gets up after 6.00 am. Yes, in 19 years of marriage, I have been woken up every morning with a coffee at 6. Never needed an alarm clock!
Penalty Rebels, easy one
20 @ Just For Kicks:
I prefer the wife who can sleep late on weekends…. like myself.
I get coffee every weekday morning, around 07:30, but on weekends I fend for myself.
Just poured myself a good orange juice, whilst the wife is still fast asleep in the house.
Rebels 10 / 3 Hurricanes
Canes with some nice lines by the Canes, but mess it up again
Tryyyyyy Andre Taylor… superb Canes handling
Brilliant try, Taylor, awesome handling that time
Rebels 10 / 10 Hurricanes
Got the Canes by 11 on this one, hope they don’t let me down
28 @ Just For Kicks:
I’ve picked the Canes by 9. They SHOULD win this home game….
Try Leiua for the Canes
