@KSA Shark © (Comment 19) : baseball?
@klempie (Comment 21) :
No that stupid POM Hooligan sport where most supporters are tatoo bound dimwits. 😛 (Runs and hides)
Keegs.
41-6
@KSA Shark © (Comment 22) : Oh that… 🙄
@klempie (Comment 23) :
I am just looking at the log and am quite surprised. Just a little over a week ago i looked at it and was surprised that the Griquas could nlose a game and still be in the lead.
Now i see they will be 3 points behind us in 2nd place. 😯 ❓
Kwasse on a slippery slope down the log?
A yacht with a SA flag just gone past. 😯 😎
@KSA Shark © (Comment 25) : After playing all the teams in the CC once the Sharks are top of the pops. 😎
FT 41-6 Very satisfying.
Waaayhaay!
Great game by just about everyone, but particularly Burden, Mcleod, Rory and Waylon!
TT’s lovechild gets MoM.
i did not expect to see this score 😯
We can score BP’s when they are not important for us to go to the top of the log. 😈
this was a clinical performance from the sharks, and i get the feeling they have not even come close to peaking yet, scary thought for other teams, hope the boys can kick on from here, retain the cup and take the super 14, i might be over optimistic but it can be done
Wow! I am really impressed by this performance. Like I said on the WP thread, there is no way WP are gonna beat these Banana boys next week.
🙁
Savour the moment everyone. We are now the number one nation in the world in rugby AND cricket. 😎 It’s also the first time any country has managed this since the inception of both ranking systems.
@klempie (Comment 35) :
Wow!! Thats awesome!!
Pity we don’t have the T20 WC title hey klemps?? LMAO 😈
@wpw (Comment 36) : T20 isn’t cricket. 😕 This fact is reflected by the fact that the ICC haven’t bothered to form a rankings table for it….
@wpw (Comment 36) : En hoekom is jy op so laat Pensie? 😛
@klempie (Comment 38) :
Dude, did you hear Habana accepted WP’s offer??? 😯
@wpw (Comment 39) : 🙄 Dis hoekom jy op so laat is?
@klempie (Comment 40) :
Nah, I’m on facebook!! 😕
@wpw (Comment 41) : Loser!
@klempie (Comment 42) : Eintlik is ek op so laat omdat ek werk. Scheme dat ek die loser is. 🙁
Well I’m impressed. Top of the log after halfway without our Boks and a couple of injuries. The ‘2nd’ team really stepped up and if we have a kicker in the team I think Charl Mcleod might have the better of Kockett. I hope this shrinks old Rockets head a bit.
And who said Monty can’t play rugby??
