The Laws of Rugby is not executed well lately.

Hello Puma, I see your name up here, congratulations mand you must be real chuffed right now!
3 @ Bullscot:
sorry should be congratulations man not mand
1 @ superBul:
Yeahs its good now Super you can just watch as a neutral without any stress, I put an answer and I guess loads of questions to you on the Blue Bulls Sharks thread
3 @ Bullscot:
Yes feeling great, very proud of my Team buddy. Made the Super Rugby final and now the Currie Cup final. Terrible conditions to play in but it was the same for both teams.
@ Bullscot:
i answered you there, we can hop down there to talk it out, when there is a break
@ superBul:
Hello SB. Lawrence seems to be getting worse as time foes on, and as for Jonker, well his “dislike” for the Lions is well evidenced through scorelines when he reff’s them
I must say rhough that the Bulls were their own worst enemies today. A non existent game plan and poor execution.
Ah well, let’s hope for a better game here.
7 @ superBul:
Thanks ou maat will check later, am actually enjoying listening to RSG through the net still now they have gone to playing some nice rustige Afrikaans music, am busy making my tea (supper) then need to head to work for the night.
Hello Scrumdown hope its a good game for you, and also of course for the WP fans
Oh, and well done to the Highveld Lions on despatching the Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings back to the Sub-Continent.
Could the IPL teams please take ALL of their SA Indian supporters back to India?
10 @ Bullscot:
Lions have an uphill game tonight. WP are strong, and the fact that it’s Baywatch’s testomonial will be an emotional burden for the Lions that may be a bridge too far.
Massive storm in Germiston this afternoon. 50mm Diameter hail stones.
Luckily I missed it by 10 minutes.
My client “lost” a car, a bakkie and every window on one side of his house.

Late change for the :ions. Mapoe starting at 11.
16 @ Scrumdown:
Maybe even a change for the Lions.
Good chase from the kick by the Lions.
Coetzee kicks out on the full. Bad error.
11 @ Scrumdown:
Good you mention the cricket Scrumdown was wondering if anyone was following it, and congrats to the Highveld Lions, I read you have a young bowler Phangiso who has been doing well, see he got more wickets against Yorkshire today, what are your thoughts on him?
Penalty WP. Poles.
Over. 3/0 WP
13 @ Scrumdown:
Gosh that sounds nasty man, haven’t seen hail that size in many years, lucky you didn’t have damage, I did warn GBS to go out with his hard hat on…
@ Bullscot:

good cricket , at least the Cricket Bulle is doing better
Must be a yellow card for that sounds like Lions were playing superbly
vd Heever sees yellow. Cynical and deliberate professional foul,
Oh yes I hear vd Heever got pinged for that, time to get 10 minutes rest, didn’t realize he was still only 23 years old
Jantjies misses.
Ahh shame pity he missed
Rhodes gives away a penalty for holding on.
Is the game really being played at a high tempo or is the RSG commentator just making it sound like it is?
