    Very interesting comments about the match officials on the Tjaarks thread.

    Now please rewind to the Bulls/Brumbies game @ Loftus in 2012, that four-point loss of which cost us a playoff place.

    I still cringe at how Marius Jonker missed Morne Steyn’s knock-on which put CJ Stander (a fine player IMO) away for the “winning try”…

    His “assistants” that day? Stefan Breytanbach & Lourens van der Merwe…

    Don’t be bitter Brumbies boy you are far too old to be a sulker.

    Besides the Bulks were robbed by the ref against the Brumbies the following year.

    Stop living in the past

    You got your revenge last year
    Seriously, it seems as if there is a “get the Bruce’s e-mail circulating
    Shocking display of blatant cheating against the visiting teams

    Walsh usually a hometown ref.

    The French must have offered him an inferior bottle of Cognac and a poor table at the Moulin Rouge.

    Hy sal spirits drink as hy moet
    Not even a home town ref should be able to save this French mob

    I would say the “Get the Bruce’s” email originated from Bakkies’s ‘sent items’?

    Ek het gedink die Franse laaik die Engelse niks nie, maar toe nie, lyk of hul hul harte uitspeel vir Haar Majesteit? 😉

    Surely if you take a kick from the air, and the maul is held up, then you cannot give possession to the other side!!

    @Brumbieboy
    Very likely, but he is more of a kiwi hater and I doubt he is a shark supporter, so I’m not so sure
    He is more of the “anthrax in an envelope” type than a cyber hater
