    Gary Botha had a strong game for the Bulls this past weekend, going to be a tough game against the Crusaders this weekend.

    @Juggernaught(Juggernaught)-4: It started a while back during the Six nations. There was a technical problem where every thread you went to a particular Wales thread started popping up. So guys that posted first always started with a dragrons post.

    @justrugby(justrugby)-10: after watching hanging around the rucks, Big Vic is managing himself.

    I do think we should be looking at resting the older players especailly Vic.

    @KevinRack(KevinRack)-11: Agree fully. They must play him till he actually starts playing. Lazy *******, opposite of Habana in that he seems to have no hunger at all.

    I hope he can scrum otherwise he is in for a long day , the Saders are scrumming with such power at the moment , just look what they did to the Bok front row at Twickers

    @stew(stew)-15:

    come now mate….when beast came on there wasnt any dominance by saders…In fact Sharks started taking ascendancy and it was displayed by the amount of front foot ball the Sharks had to attack off in sec half.Smit is hardly a Bok loosehead.

    Dean greyling is a massive chap,absolutely massive.But still is shaping up in the scrumming department.He’ll come good not yet though.Expect him to struggle vs Franks.Who has been in good form 2011

Keo.co.za has always promoted uncensored views, but has never tolerated racist or crass outbursts. Come on guys and girls. If you can't moderate yourselves or each other then I am going to be forced to regulate the posts and enforce a registration process for comments. The choice is yours.
