    is it because you are protesting against the springboks?
    will you wear this jersey to the bok-ab game at soccer city?

    Even if Argies lose all games in their debut season hopefully they’ll push big boys close – each of them.

    Shoprite had them available for the bulls game in soweto recently
    No ID. The cashier just had to be satisfied that the buyer was African, anthropologically speaking :-)

    So the bulls get 2 tests and the stormers get 1.
    Nothing for cheetahs or sharks.
    Seems a tad unfair again Saru?

    nodoubt all the culerts from the flats will pull out their argie jerseys and start cheering for pancho villa or che guerrevo or who ever the hell it is who is their captain these days.

    ….i can already imagine the Evita flags flying with the “don’t cry for me argentina” soundtrack pumping out the newlands sound system.

    Who can remember the last AB/Bokke game at Soccer city, captain courageous scoring like a winger in the corner and Nonu slicing through Smit for a last second winner, I couldn’t have written the script better myself.
    Must have been hard to swallow if you were a Bokke fan that night.

    @NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-22: Not really tough to swallow for those who had been saying Smit was past it, I was just disappointed that PDV lost another test to the AB, I wanted history to remember him as the Bok coach with the most wins against AB’s

    @Brigadier Van Zyl(Brigadier Van Zyl)-18: Wonder when the Caped Shark phenomenon starts arising at Newlands…

    Black Jerseys
    More “ethnic” Black players in the team than in the Cape
    Singing “We are Half Black, We are Half White… We are, we are Saaark Dynamite”

    It makes sense…

    Why even watch the ABs.
    You cant stand them so do yourself a favour and dont watch.
    Have you ever noticed that when a team gets penalised…. they did something illegal or cheated.
    And all teams get away wiht something.

    As long as we didn’t get J’Burg i’m very happy with the draw, Soccer city is a very happy hunting ground for the black machine.

    @Hurricane(Hurricane)-36:
    i watch the springboks.

    no, your team gets away with far more than any other team.
    this is due to a variety of factors but mostly its because they are well trained to cheat as a matter of course.
