OK, I’ve cleaned the Live game Article up… and it’s the end of the rugby day for me… don’t think I’ll follow the Poofball.
Cheers manne!
Kickers, thanks for attending to the Six Nations Games.
Was a great day… Blomme moerring the Paki’s, Bulls victorious – young side and all… and the Cheetahs coming back at the death to beat the Stormers.
The 2 Six Nations matches were reasonably good for me on Bru, both wins right and both results within the 5 point margin (1 within 2 points, 1 exactly on 5 points).
I’ve been out of commission the whole day. Missed everything, see my team lost but caught the highlights of the Proteas game. Well played Dale Steyn.
Congratulations England sounds like played really well!
Really disapointed though at the margin of victory, looking at the stats England had loads more possesion and territory and Scotland missed a lot of tackles. What I also found surprising according to match report is that Johnson used so few of his forward substitutes, with the pace the game is being played at these days especially when its dry you need to make full use of your fowards bench most days.
