@ Bliksem:
Ok, let me formally make this the 230 100th comment here on Rugby-Talk
Whoopie!
5 453 169 Page Impressions… that is FIVE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE page impressions!
707: nog net so 3 supertitels, dan is julle naby die Bulle kampioene se liga.
En ou maat, ons laster nie hier nie (#413), dit kan jy op keo gaan doen.
407 @ Bliksem:Sometimes people post such daft statements, and yours is that one today. You know exactly what I mean.
Watter nuwe ouens gaan in die bokgroep wees en wie gaan uitmis ?
For all the bluster and Keegan this, Lambie that that we have had to endure over the past few months, this victory is especially sweet.
BUT. The victory was not won by the supporters, but by the players. We do not deserve any of the credit, in the same way that the losers do not deserve any of the scorn that will invariably befall some of the blogs for the near future, to some extent due to some of the extreme Sharks bloggers (no one here) that troll some of the other sites.
Now for the tours.
But tonight I will still be celebrating…..
Indulge me. It’s been a while.
426 @ Maak die WP almal Bokke Stromersboy:
You MUST enjoy it… it has been a long time between celebrations!
Vanaand skrop Eben Etzebeth sy longe uit…. hehehe – hy is “ALL OVER” sy goose met die soenne… hahaha
Cheers all
226: jy mag maar dit geniet, as ‘n mens die CB wen na soveel jaar is dit soveel lekkerder !
429 @ Just For Kicks:
Tjorts… enjoy!
@ Just For Kicks:

438 @ bdb:
Gladnie ‘n sleg span nie!
Ek sou miskien waag en vir Juan de Jongh speel op Nr 12, met Paul Jordaan op Nr 13.
439: kan ook werk. Maar HM het kapteinskap moes belowe vir Jean vir hierdie jaar of hoe ?
Ek dink die tyd is NOU vir HM om die jonger manne deur te bring, met die ouer manne wat deel is van die squad maar nie die beginspan nie.
As JC nie kan vasskop kan speel nie, wie gaan speel, Pat ?
440: moes = mos
In die 1980’s het die WP die CB oorheers
In 1990’s die Sharks
In die 2000’s die Bulle
Ek dink in die 2010’s gaan dit baie taaier gaan en gaan nie een span sommer oorheers nie, al die spanne is baie nader aan mekaar.
Ons rugby lyk goed, HM moet nou net raakvat met die bokke.
OK back from the stadium,
Congrats WP and their supporters , Fantastic match, Like i have said all week, the team that wants it the most will take it, WP proved to be that team, again well done.
@ Sharks_forever:
Thanks boet, long time coming, really chuffed!
I live in this moment
Well, who would’ve thought?
Clearly the WP laaties read a different script and won when they were supposed to lose.
Still trying to figure out:
– how the light five came back to outscrum the Sharks towards the end of the game.
– how Peyper got so many calls wrong and it still didnt matter
– how that second drop actually made it over the bar
– how the concept of a fetcher can continue to be ignored in favour of large loosies after yesterday’s evidence
I’m glad we won, but feels kinda sorry for the Sharks. Losing at home in a final sucks.
Well done to Province.
Congrats to all the Province supporters here.
Sharks biggest problem was their lineouts. Our lineout problems continue from Super Rugby and it was shocking. We can never win a game by losing so many of our own lineouts. The only time our lineouts worked was when we had Kanko playing in the last part of S15. Plum will have to address that problem.
Burden had a shocker. I actually thought Plum would take Burden off even before the 2nd half. Also Reinach never had a good game yesterday. Probably McLeod too should have come on much earlier than he did.
Deon Fourie was superb for Province. Just knew he was going to cause us all sort of problems for us and he did. He deserves to get a Bok call up.
Well done on JdJ getting that try and it was a great try. JdJ should start ahead of Jaco on the eoyt at outside centre.
446 @ fender:
Because Plum took Jannie off. Our scrum was in control until he went off.
Sharks are going to struggle without Bissie at the start of S15. Non of our hookers are in the same class as Bissie.
