How are we looking in the standings now?

SF-M: ima score my first test try today.
Also SF-M: why not break Percy’s record while i’m at it.

 

[JerryMungo]

What a game. After such a tight start, the second half was simply amazing.

Just shows how much is psychological. Once you break a team’s spirit you can make hay.

BP win at Twickenham and its sealed right

Correct. With a bit of luck AUS can deny NZ a BP again next week, in which case a win at Twickenham will be enough.

Only have to hope we have no major niggles until then

Some of the prices for tickets at Twickenham next Saturday are frightening

I feel sorry for the lions, they are going to have a rough season at the bottom of the log because of that ugly jersey.

Good grief. It looks like somebody vomited on that jersey, and the design stuck.

The infighting between coloureds and blacks on social media is hilarious. Both sides trying to claim Sacha

Sascha is miles and miles ahead of libbok, no contest even

While that may be so - having them both on adds more to the Bokke than not

Will give you that point, libbok has come on leaps and bounds his last 2 games. Credit where credit is due, he's pulled up his socks.

Libbok reminds me of the akward irish nr10. I dont get it

Sasha reminds me of bauden barrett when he was 20. Fastest player on the field and and always seems to make the right decision

Mooi Bokke!!!! What a magnificent result on Saturday!! Sasha FM was on another level, awesome general play, 3 tries and breaks Percy's record. What a player! From feeling somewhat flat at half time to absolute elation at the final whistle. Definately a game of 2 halves, pardon the cliche. Team stood up, took the game by the scruff of the neck and absolutely smashed the Pumas. Also played well to mitigate Angus Gardiner as a factor. That dude is poor and missed a lot. Pumas should have gotten a yellow card for late hit and kicking the ball out of Reinagh's hands.
Off to London for the final game & hopefully seal the Championship.

Mixed URC results from our teams - Stormers & Bulls winning, Sharks and Lions losing.
