Ja, how funny is it that all the Keo hype is always around WP, and how Free State “narrowly” beat Border and KZN. What nonsense.

Free State completely dominated Province in this game.

Here is a thought – the Grey Bfn back three of Rowellyn Isebel, Jan Serfontein (a monster), and Neil Marais were not there. Marais on cricket tour, and the two wings (both superb) injured.

The Grey scrumhalf – Nicol Linde was also on a cricket tour. (Although i thought the HTS Scrummie was superb !!).

I always say this – Grey Bfn would beat the SA schools side any day of the week.

LAST QUESTION – has anyone seen the Academy side?? They did not name it on TV, and i havent seen it anywhere?

it would appear that the sa side was chosen well before this final seeing the side was announced immediately after the final whistle with very liitle delay between the final whistle and the announcement
this is totally unfair towards all players who participated in craven week and if i had my way i would sack all the selectors responsible

it was a pathetic province display considering what a talented side they have and the amount of training they underwent
it appeared as they were at sixes and sevens when in possession and seemed clueless in all phases
looking for excuses is unacceptable and one would expect a full investigation be done to establish what went wrong considering free state were very close to scoring more than 5 tries and province only managed 2 and never looked like scoring any more

Are all these WP-haters Bulls-fans who are sour because their team had to play on the hockey-field?

@charo(charo)-8: Nope, never have and never will. Cape Town is highly overrated much like their rugby playing prima donnas. Let their print media stay as insular as they want - it keeps them segregated from the real and proper SA and they keep living in a fantasy bubble...

@charo(charo)-4: Thank you! So, I'm not the only one noticing the biased reporting, even KEO's journalists covering the Craven Week!! KEO and his WP-biased-cronies-journalist-wannabes will have to drink their sorrows away this evening.

Well done Bloem boytjies! Imagine what the proper Grey side would’ve done to these posers from onner-die-berg…

Legends in their own minds, as I said.

That’s WP I’m referring to, if you were in any doubt.
