Nice pass that man. Should have your eyes tested. The jersey’s black boeta.
and another freeking Sarries try.
@ BrumbiesBoy: ja. I remember him well. 😆
Saracens 46 / 22 WP
WP’s been embarrassed in this game…
67 @ Tassies:
Hi Tassies a lot of players missing for Sarries today- Brad Barritt, Jacques Burger, Owen Farrell, Jim Hamilton, Marcelo Bosch, Schalk Brits, Alex Goode, James Johnston, George Kruis, Mako Vunipola, Billy Vunipola, Richard Wigglesworth – at least 12 – and there are probably some more.
Must say, there’s a good crowd in to watch this one. Impressed.

Good for WP but oh man that sentence is enough to make a grown Blue Bull cry
Wilco Louw, former Blue Bulls junior… replaces Koch
@ Bullscot: Did you really have to prick my balloon Scottie. I was simply trying to make myself feel better after this thrashing in progress.
127 @ Tassies:
Nice to hear that, how full does the stadium look, have they given the official attendance figure?
128 @ Bullscot:
Yeah, a pity the Bulls lost Bongi… or Little Mike Tyson, as I call him
5 Minutes to go… the fat lady is out of the chair already…
Sarries penalty… all over the ball there.
Juan de Jongh’s been kak today.
WP steals a Sarries lineout
130 @ Tassies:
Sorry
Obstructive running by Leyds, penalty against him
Know its quite late in the game but do any of you see if no. 23 Duncan Taylor has been brought as backline sub for Sarries would be interested to hear how he has been playing if he is on?
1 Minute to go…
138 @ Bullscot:
Duncan Taylor is in Scotland international squad but didn’t get picked against Argentina so its nice to see him listed on the team sheet released by Vern Cotter for this game.
Final Score: Saracens 46 / 22 DHL Western Province
Well, that was a snotting… 6 tries to 3
well done Sarries. You are a class act. Plenty depth. A champion side indeed. Would love to see them play against a S15 champion side on neutral territory(like Hong Kong). Wouldn’t that be a treat?
OK, I guess the SA players not in the Bok group can now take a well-earned break for a week or so.. then Super Rugby preparation time and then a good holiday till they reconvene early January to seriously prepare for Super Rugby.
@ Bullscot: nope but its a decent crowd clearly enjoying themselves and the weather’s pretty decent for a change. As GB says, the pitch is first class. All good.
@ Tassies:
would WP have played on a pitch like that before? I often wonder what it’s like for players if first time on artificial pitch must feel different under their feet and surely the bounce of the ball will be a bit different, far better for scrums I would think.
cheers you boys. Gotta go out and force some fermented grape juice down the esophagus. Damn its tough in Africa.
Saracens have now beaten the Springboks, the Sharks and Western Province. Not bad for a small rugby club from north London.
@ Bullscot: I wouldn’t know BS but I would doubt it. Okay I’m been given a final warning. Cheers
As my PW supporting work colleague would say whenever PW churn out a 5 point win “hulle het op hulle moer gekry”
Pw het op hulle epos gekry.
Is there anymore “go north” chearleaders?
