Waiting to what Newlands looks like. It’s like flood down here in Bettys Bay, about 100 Km from CT, but I am told its the same there.
Goooooooo Sharks…. hehehe
1 @ cat66:
Yip, all the reports from our site indicates a really wet one… IF it gets under way!
I can’t see this game being a very entertaining one. With AC’s love of defence and the wet weather, there will be plenty of time to make the beds, wash the dishes, cook dinner and make a cup of coffee during the game, and not miss much!
Ah, Kickers is your Captain for this Live Game… so I can sit back and just enjoy the blogging
@ cat66: Katman?
6 @ Loosehead:
Nee, dis nie Kattarsus van daai tyd se Voldy dae nie.
Ground looks okay, but even less of a crowd here!
8 @ Just For Kicks:
Jeez, this week’s been the heaviest winter weather SA has seen in a long while!
Plumtree will be taking a break soon
Tweet from Helen Zille: 3 Eskom transformers damaged by lightening, affecting areas from Paarl to Cape Town. They are working to fix them. Apologies to all.
So the Mighty Lions CC defence got off to a decent start.
How was the game?
Sitting in PE At a family wedding with a bunch of people who are all drinking soft drinks.
What did I do to deserve this?
I don’t suppose too many Superbru predictions had the Lions by so many. Well maybe Johan Ackerman but not many others!
WP should take this one…. but the weather is levelling the game out quite a bit…. let’s see.
And now the rain is teeming down

@ Scrumdown:Very good game by the Lions, if that was a sign of things to come, they should gel very nicely
12 @ Scrumdown:
Was good play by your side… congrats
Players coming out
Hel, hoe bly is ek nie nou ek sit in ‘n warm plek met klimaatbeheer en droeë klere nie…

Come on Western Province, please, please can we see some tries in this competition!
