With just more than 20 minutes to go… this game is in the bag, really
20 point lead, who would have thought? Definitely not my Superbru!
90 @ ben-die-bul:
Ja, die fight vir 6de plek gaan straf wees.
@ ben-die-bul:
Reds/Bulls/Saders lyk verseker.
My Bru pick was Saders by 10
@ grootblousmile:
@93 Hopelik Cheetahs.
Come on Blues, claw about 10 points back…. pretty please
Halai over the line, but it looked held up
jfk @ 84
the blues, lol.
in an article last year (i think) henry spent a day or so at the blues. when the author of the article asked him about it, he confirmed it and then said: “you can already see my influence”.
@ grootblousmile:
Jou picks lyk almal goed….maar jy bly op nommer 26, hehehehe! Ek is egter vinnig oppad daar na jou toe, moenie worrie nie.
Phweeeew, close call
No try, inconclusive
Dink ook dit was ‘n drie. Die officials het ‘n horribale naweek.
@ Ashley:
@99 Darem n ou suurknol, GH, en vol van homself….laat my dink aan my Wiskunde-onnie.
15 Minutes to go…. mooosa uphill battle for the Blues now
pieta @ 104
pietman, jou wiskunde onnie was suur omdat jy nie jou somme kon doen nie, lol
@ ben-die-bul:
@103 Darem tegnies deesdae, met al die officials en wat nog, in ons tyd sou dit n drie gewees het.
Nothing going the Blues way….
@ Ashley: @106 Daai is ok waar, ek was maar useless met Wiskunde.
99 @ Ashley: I wonder if he could trademark that ‘sourpuss look’ of his – he’d make a fortune marketing that, and his influence then really would be able to be seen instantaneously!
106 @ Ashley:
Hehehehe
Pieta kon seker nie so lekker tel nie!
11 Minutes to go in the match.
A lekker Ozzie derby coming up after this game…. Waratahs / Brumbies
Blues penalty on the Saders 10m line, centre field
Massive Saders scrum… and they earn the penalty too
@ Just For Kicks:
I remember the footage in the Boks’ shed after the Dunedin match (the one in which Januarie scored the winner), all GH said to PdeV was, “Cheers mate see ya’all in Caype Tyouun”.
jfk @ 110, gbs @ 111
@ Ashley:
Gepraat van PdeV, da’ is nog n ou wat die WP bietjie kan nader trek?
116 @ Ashley:
Snaaks genoeg, my Wiskunde onnie was nie bekend daarvoor dat hy kon hard moer nie…. maar ek het my hardste pakslae by die ou gekry… Mnr Dieter Böhmer.
Ek en ‘n ander klong het vuiste geklap in ‘n juffie se klas, toe stuur sy ons Böhmer toe… Ek moes daai aand met onderbroek en al in die bad klim, want die onderbroek het aan my gat vasgesit van die bloed waar die gatvelle stukkend was.
@ grootblousmile:
As jy vandag n kind so moer dan is dit hofsake en skorsings, een van die redes hoekom die laaities deesdae so vooraan is, hulle word nie genoeg latjies gegee nie.
