Jislaaik ... talk about rugby!

At one stage our royal boys were 18-0 ahead vs the Lions! I like!
 
Yup.....if it wasn't for those 3 tries at the end, The Lions would have been left with a whole lot of egg on their faces, and that from a side made up of Vodacom Cup players. :D

Pity they couldn't keep it up.

I'm just worried that the Lions aren't gonna put up much of a fight for when they play the Springboks (after yesterday's showing) ...... I like it to at least be a challenge to beat the bastids.

Why they picked Januarie ahead of Vermaak or Kockott we'll never know ..... ditto on picking Earl Rose and leaving out Kirchner and Terblanche :rolleyes: Another one who doesn't deserve to be there is Chilliboy. Feel sorry for Brussouw too ... he played his heart out and gets overlooked :rolleyes:
 
This sounds mean, I know but the best we can hope for is that those who don't deserve the green and gold strain a muscle or two during Bok camp.

I think we know why Januarie and Rose are there. :mad:

Yeah this country and the rugby..its pathetic!!
The guys in bold deserved a place more than anyone else..:mad:
 
Great fightback by the Cheetahs!

If their kicker had a compass, they would have upset the Lions too. 3 penalties, maybe more were missed.

26-24 to the Lions
 
:eek:

EISH!


That was too close for comfort!

They took Fourie du Preez off too early. :mad:

I don't know if I dare listen to the next match.
 
I can't believe how they took Fourie off....
Ricky played himself OUT OF the Stormers team and now he is a Springbok?!
Luckily Luke is heading over seas...

Glad that Januarie has been dropped but to drop Brussouw to the bench and bring in Chilli-I'm-Useless-Boy in place of Gurthro is just bloody doff :mad:

I don't think Chilly is useless...
But wouldn't leave Guthro out...

And dropping Brussouw? Mmm.... Should be interesting. I think it will bring out the best in him...


Would like to see Morne on the field a bit earlier. I wanna see what he can do.
