k/o is a abbreviation boxing uses for knocked out. Quite amusing for a boxing man that does not know rugby.
I wish that I could watch this game.
Going to be a cracker I think.
Go Reds, just for my Bru. Though think should have picked Canes think Canes going to win this one. They do they just might sneak into the semi at 4th spot.
just to show the Kiwis it can happen to them too, go Reds.
Quick last shopping before we leave for the bush. See you sometime in the game.
Think the Canes will win this one but lets wait and see 🙂 just dropping my girlfriend off in Sandton then will be back to watch the game. Going to be a cracker.

4 – Super, You making us envious now going to the Bush. Beautiful weather for it too. Rain has gone now and just big blue sky and so fresh after the rain. Enjoy it.
5 – Winston, hurry you going to miss one of the biggie games for the weekend if you don’t get back for this one.
REDS please for my bru win it. For saffa sides want the Canes to win. So it is a toss up. Think Canes will win this one.
The Canes started the season well, then had a terrible tour to SA, followed by a terrible middle run, but since then has come back….
So, who should us Saffas support here, the Canes?
Btw, good morning all!
