GBS dink jy nie ons moet al die spanne se performance laat raai nie?
A Frenchie down, injured… cock-a-doodle-doo
181 @ superBul:
Nee jong, net die 5 SA spanne
4 Minutes to go in the match
@ grootblousmile:A rooster with a drakes accent!!!
Try Italy… finally
Left wing
At last, the Italians have something to celebrate
YES well done Italy
Great conversion
France 30 / 10 Italy
3 converted tries in 3 minutes???
Well worked try Italy.
Have only managed to catch the 2nd half – France have not looked convincing.
Ireland with better structure can take them – except match is in Paris so a big ask. But it is the final match of the 6 Nations.
1 Minute to go, France lineout
And Italy score a consolation try. Lets’s just get this farce over and done for heavens sake!
France will rue the fact that they could not score a 4th try…
@ Blue Bird:
thanks left a comment for you on that match thread, was great to be there, England were just way too good but credit to Scotland kept on trying
Final Score: France 30 / 10 Italy
A 20-point margin
Cheers all, enjoy the rest of your Sunday
Ciao a tutti!!
Well, that was Six Nations round 2… done and dusted.
Ireland and France unbeaten.

Cheers you 2
I’ve picked all the right winners in the 2 rounds of Six Nations, but only 1 of the 6 matches I had the margin spot-on.
Remember, tomorrow afternoon is Varsity Cup Monday, 2 Live Game Articles
I’ve been summoned to go eat… so it’s me out too.
I’ll update the Logs, Results and Bru Leaderboard after dinner.
Next Round will sort us out a bit. All 3 games can go either way?
Wales – France
Italy – Scotland
England – Ireland
Six Nations log, results as well a the Rugby-Talk Six Nations 2014 SuperBru Leaderboard has been updated, under the Menu’s (below the header graphics and above the Articles).
In SuperBru, there are 3 Bru’s on 10 points (Henniek, Durban Bulle & grootblousmile)… so the race at the top is tight!
Think its safe to say it went far better on the Superbru for me this week seeing this quote when I went in : “In this round, you did better than the community. You are the Dude. Let’s go bowling.”
