I am in amazement of the effects of a matric dance on one of my employees. He took out loans etc. to cover the cost of his sons matric dance and is now in the shite. I was flabberghasted when he went through the costs. Is this normal. Do people really get themselves into trouble financially just on...

We need a lot of quality players.

Sounds good oompie. Pork chops tonight, chicken pot tomorrow and springbok fillet on Sunday.

Boets, big sporting weekend coming up. What's on the braais?

How many Kiwi's are convinced that Mckenzie is the answer at 10? I saw on Breakdown that some pundits were calling for NZ rugby to get Muanga playing in NZ again.

If there was any doubt, then Saturday confirmed we are in the golden era of Springbok rugby. Undoubtedly the best Bok team ever, and arguable one of the best rugby team to ever play the game. Enjoy it! And don't lose to Argentina . What i am missing from this team are dominant and assured performan...

Amazing gees at the game. Pollard, Willie and Moodie poor, Marx was massive.

Geez. It's chilli atm. But quite a bit of wind around and blowing off the sea here in Blouberg. Water must be cold. Pretty much the same weather tomorrow. Make sure you are warm handyman. Actually the water is around 15 degrees. So not bad .....no clue why it's so Chilli. We have had a lot of sunny...

Got 4 tickets for R 450 each. Like I said, upper tier. Middle tier was about R 2500 each at the time. I think those are going for at least 3 times that now.

Perfect weather tomorrow for a perfect occasion. Enjoy it Handyman

Sards was a bit negative about the wind, but it's going to be difficult to dampen my enthusiasm!

Taking a break from the braai this weekend (it's pissing rain in Mudland anyway) and the girls will do a roast beef with spuds, Yorkies and gravy instead.

Yeah sounds good.

What's on the braai for the big game on Saturday?

So lots of scams surrounding tickets for the ABs. Also we were notified that ticket master still has tickets available at 3k a pop. That's a total of 12k for the 4 of us. They can keep it. And then to top it all I am getting DHL Stormers bombarding me to buy season tickets....hulle is Jus. Regardin...

It's interesting and could explain why there has been such a delay in announcing the team, but I have to be honest that I'd be very disappointed if any of Kitshoff, Moerat or Libbok made it into Saturday's 23. I'm cool with all 3 starting against the Argies, but against NZ I feel like Steenekamp wa...

I have more confidence in Carley than Brace.

I was lucky enough to get 4 tickets. Upper tier unfortunately. I am not going to pay R 2500 a ticket. That's what being an accountant gets you, the cheap seats looking through binoculars. I looked at the prices for the Twickenham match and refused to pay (would've been double that price with travel...

Marx might throw your guys a lineout or two.

He won't be that bad again. Can't be, surely.

Who is going to the test on Saturday?

Reinach and Williams were both very untidy behind the ruck, cost us a lot of momentum. Fassi and Beauden also put in error-strewn performances and made some poor choices. However the worst aspect was Marx. The lineout went to shit when he came on. Very unusual for him, it’s normally Bongi who can’t...

No, it's awful.

Try Aotearoa Rugby Pod with James Parsons and Brynn Hall

Cheers. I like Mils, Goldie and the rest, Kirwan not so much.

Is Breakdown the top NZ rugby show?

Regarding the reffing. Bizarre. Strangely it was like watching a train wreck. There was no way WP could win that match even with assistance from the officials. They were just that bad. I could see the Sharks players getting increasingly frustrated with the ref after a complete string of penalties a...

Bly oom deesdae voltyds in Struis?

Am at 12 is going to be interesting. I hope Louw kicks on, we're thin at 8.

Wow, Rassie really not afraid to rock the boat. Supreme confidence to choose this team.

Goeie goed is skaars.

Our scrummies have gone to sh1t.

Springboks need to put this game away. We have been guilty in the past of not following up.

Has Steenekamp jumped a few props?

Not sure how the Stormers won that...

Weird and sad with West Indies not there.

Rassie is picking Willemse and that's enough for me.

Called it!

As a bok supporter, I was sad for the NZ players standing around, waiting for the medal ceremony, some crying. It meant as much for them as for us. To lose by a point is a bitch.

Respect for that showing playing more than 50 minutes with 14 men.
