superBul – Thanks for that, a great win for England….WRS not delighted but I am!!
Watched the game with two friends that we did the Lions tour with so we re lived lots of South African memories as well.
Puma you are just so disparaging about us and our rugby…I am wounded!! OK The England strip did look a bit grubby…but still!!
Oh yes, my superbru is screwed too…. Otherwise!
