    Dragons!
    Got to beat these ABs tomorrow. I’d feel a helluva lot more confident if JdJ was at 13 and anyone but Pienaar or Schreuder at SH 😥

    Doesn’t get better than the AB’S in NZ .

    “The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory”

    Go Bokke…

    It’s going down today… St Stephens Old boys v Wesley College Alumni.
    I think I’m up against Waisaki Sotutu
    We dominated College Rugby for 120 years..be no different today… 😆
    Oh and go hard the Abs

  • 4

    We will come good tomorrow. The burn from last week was the right tonic. Bokke respond well to injustice. 3 points either way.

  • 5

    The Abs know how to beat the Bok..manipulate the Bok defence and get them in a position where they are sliding backwards on D and out manned and outgunned…

    @ Jinx:
    Morning Comrade Jinx, nice to see you here again!
    Hope you can find time to make these celebrity visits more often. I am sure old ‘mountain heart up there’ also still reads us here.

    Yeah, yeah, no need to rub it in mate!
    Where is your partner in crime, that little rascal ngha puhi, by the way?

    If the AB’s don’t win by anything less than a 35 point point margin, the moral victory will be with the Boks!

    @ Loosehead:
    More jou ou Blikbeker….of is dit Blikoor?
    Jy en Smallies is mos die twee enigste Blikke wat nog oorgebly het hier.

    Nee man, Bokke het n kans, ons kort net weer n Ricky Januarie moment, ek hoop Pollard kan dit doen.
    Ek weet pa Andre slaap bokkerol daar in die Strand, of dalk is hy daar, maar die hele SA is op bystand, belangrike dag hierdie.

    Polla, as jy hier lees, sterkte ou maat, vir jou en veral vir die klong! Moenie worrie nie… Cheers

    Sorry folks, my apologies for posting this off topic, but this exactly the reason why we need sport in our beloved country, and something to cheer about….

    “US warn citizens to avoid Pta zoo
    2014-09-12 22:54
    News24
    Johannesburg – US citizens touring or living in South Africa who planned to visit the Pretoria Zoo were advised on Friday not to do so.

    The United States diplomatic mission cautioned citizens to be on the alert while touring the country.

    According to the embassy, there had been “a number of armed robberies committed recently against visitors to the Pretoria Zoo.

    “Due to these events the… mission to South Africa advises US citizens to avoid visiting the Pretoria Zoo until the security situation improves,” the embassy said.

    Americans were further urged to remain vigilant in protecting themselves from violent crimes while in South Africa – as assaults, armed robberies and other crimes were prevalent around hotels, tourist attractions and public transportation centres in major cities….”

    Maak my SO bef@k as ek sulke goed lees, en die Bokke nog onnodig droog maak boonop Angry
    Watter man kan dit hou?

  • 11

    Yeah, we need a Ricky Januarie moment.

    Never forget my friends wife’s reaction after she looked at me when Ricky scored.
    “Are you crying?”
    😆

  • 12

    @ Jeraldjay:
    Great moment that, indeed!
    The last test at House of Pain, and the Springboks’ first win there in history!
    If you want to relive that moment, and cry again, then read PdeV’s book about the aftermath…

  • 13

    12 @ Pietman:

    Gavin Rich was one of PDV’s main adversaries during his tenure but as soon as he was asked to write his book he just had praise for the coach.

    That’s why I never bothered to read the book.

    Going to miss this one, GO BOKS!

  • 15

    Ricky January and Richard Bands.

    One hit wonders, but man, what hits!

  • 16

    C’mon Bokke
    This is one of those “it doesn’t matter how” games, just win and nothing else matters.
    Doesn’t matter if it’s by a wobbly drop kick or a sweeping move that leads to a try, the end result is all that matters

    @ nortierd:

    Helloooo!Jammer aan die ander bloggers, maar ek moet hierdie gou doen, wag al vanaf gisteraand vir die kans.

    Eerstens, geluk met daai “brief” wat uiteindelik gekom het! Die ding het seker nog n 6 pennie posseel op, maar feit is die boodskap is geldig!
    Veels geluk, en welgedaan ou maat.
    Siedaar, JJ du Preez lewer tog nog presteerders op!

    Congratulations

    @ Pietman:
    Thanks Pietman
    Was n lang wag, maar ten minste nou is dit op wit en swart
    Approve

  • 19

    @ nortierd:
    En tweedens, ek stem, wen net die dem ding asseblief, by hook or by crook, ons rugbynasie het dit dringend nodig.

  • 20

    @ nortierd:
    Weet ook nie van ‘wit en swart’ nie, klink soos n kwotabrief Happy-Grin

  • 21

    @ Pietman:
    Ha ha
    Is seker soort van

  • 22

    @ Pietman:
    Daar is sekere opponente waar n lelike wen n mooi ding is, en die All Blacks is heel bo aan daai lys

  • 23

    @ nortierd:
    Ja,wie sal ooit WB1995 finaal vergeet!
    Joel Stransky word n held, uit die bloute, met n enkele skepskop….
    Ek hoop Pollard se beurt is vandag.

  • 24

    @ Pietman:
    Vir seker
    Pollard kan nog eendag n grote in die Bok trui wees as hy beseringsvry bly.

    @ nortierd: More Nortie. Whatever it was you were waiting for and earned, congratulations. Enjoy your day.

  • 27

    @ Tassies:
    Thanks Tassies 😆
    Let’s see if the Boks can put a smile on our faces

  • 28

    A large brewing morning beckons indeed. Love the anticipation. Do not have too many expectations of a win but equally, I do hope we play differently and exciting quality rugby.

  • 29

    @ nortierd: Hell, I hope so bud.

  • 30

    @ Tassies:
    Wet pitch can be a leveler, I’m just concerned that our two previous wet matches didn’t go so well
