    Canes just growing stronger and stronger as the game progresses.

    Verbaas jy het so lank geneem voor jy goed in plek gekry het vir load shedding.

    Jy moet kan funksioneer

    Yep, this sentrum has places where under cover outside it has huge smoking sections.

    Not completely a nanny state yet like Aus and the UK 😆

    Ek was tussen die boom en die bas oor watter roete ek moet volg… want ek wou nie die Kragopwekker roete gaan nie… krag te onstabiel en dit kos mens maklik R 350.00 of meer per dag aan petrol wanneer hy hardloop.

    Ek is ook nog nie naastenby klaar hier nie, het nog planne vir die huis self ook… wil orals LED Globes insit, en dan fyn beplan vir ‘n hele Solar stelsel om HEELTEMAL OFF-GRID te gaan. Maar dis ‘n duur episode, seker so R 140 000.00 vir ons plek! Ek sal my hele kantoor se DAK (18m x 6.5m) vol Sonpanele moet pak en dan nog vir die 3 Geysers ook Sonpanele en 12 of 24Volt Elemente moet kry.

    I did reply to you on the Vodacom thread about Boshoff.

    There were contrasting reports, but you were right about the number of games played

    Canes penalty in front on the Blues 10m line… they kick to the corner and the result is a lineout 10m out

    Do you have to go get your drink yourself or does some poor waitron have to make their way through a wall of smoke to serve you guys? As a non-smoker them banning smoking in public places was one of the best things they have done just annoying that so many of the selfish gits choose to stand at the entrance to places and smoke, especially when you have your children with

    Te veel geld en moeite vir my….goedkoper om na n pub toe te ry en n koffie of ietsie sterker te nuttig 😆

    Another penalty, kicked out 5m out

    Sorry man haven’t been back to that one since, has his form gone backwards this year? Saw a report with Ackerman saying he would get chances later on again but they were just trying something out with a new flyhalf. What are your thoughts about us v you in the semi-final today?

    As mens dit reg doen, klim mens heeltemal van die grid af en jy verhaal jou installasiekoste binne 2 en ‘n half jare…. en daarna het jy verniet krag!!

    Bulls will probably win, but I picked WP.

    They don’t play at a full Newlands, most of their games were in Athlone.

    I guess today they will be playing at Newlands for the pre game, but it will be in front of hardly anyone

    Blues penalty, playing the ball on the ground, kicked to touch by West.

    I cannot believe the Bulls lost to this Blues side!!

    grootblousmile on 23 May 2015 at 10:57 am

    Try Matt Vaega, Blues

    If I remember correctly the Bulls fans were also upset and surprised when they lost to this Hurricanes side 😆

    53 @ nortie:
    Yip, was early season and at that stage we could only look at the previous seasons of the Canes as a measure.

    Did you think they would be running away with the Log, at the start of the year?

  • 56

    grootblousmile on 23 May 2015 at 11:01 am

    Try Canes, Scud-Miscile… and it’s the Bonus Point for tries

    Hurricanes 29 / 5 Blues

    55 @ grootblousmile:
    Nope, picked the Chiefs from the beginning to win the comp, but the Canes have the back line.

    After the Lions game in the 1st round we could see the influence of Plum on their forwards….alarm bells started ringing

    nortie on 23 May 2015 at 11:06 am

    The Canes look hungry….although they have top spot sewn up, they are not giving an inch or allowing the Blues to get back into the game.

    Unlike the Highlanders who drop guard once the game is in the bag.

    That’s why the Canes are where they are on the log

    If the Canes don’t win the Comp this year, they probably never will…. everything points to them at the moment
