GBS @ 1 I know I’ve been able to enjoy a glass or two of fab Aus Merlot at this time, but I think I read somewhere that GBS said go the Wallabies. Could this possibly be true and if so, what might the consequences be??????????????
2nd Half on…
Been reading DBK Wandelaar’s mail to me regarding comparison between Deon Stegmann and Francois Louw.. well I’m about halfway through his DISSERTATION, seeing as it’s a very complete and informative piece.
We have some good rugby minds here on R-T.
@ grootblousmile:
Aus commentators: if you’re listening to the Network 7 feed, then you will hear the voice of Dan Crowley, former Wallaby prop. His story is a good one. He was an undercover cop, based in Brisbane, prior to his selection with the Wallabies. He tried to keep a low profile; no one knew his occupation as a copper. He was deep undercover, when he was selected for the Wallabies. They displayed a full face colour photo of him on the back page of The Courier Mail newspaper, saying welcome to the Wallabies. Well, that spelt the immediate finish to his undercover career!!!!!!!!!!!
Go the Wallabies – ………..
32@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
I support the Southern Hemisphere, before the Northern Hemisphere… you read correctly, Go Wallas!
34@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Very interesting!
Man of the match in the first half: Luke Burgess. The pressure from Genia has brought out the best in him. Genia might replace him soon – a plethora of riches at 9.
Flood slots a penalty
Wallabies 14 / 3
GBS – I’ve worked out the problem: it’s the condensed milk again, isn’t it? Dentist, or GP, which do you prefer, mate?
39@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
There’s nothing wrong with me… with me… with me…
Hehehehe
Poms over the line but it was held up.
This was much better by the Poms.
Poms get a penalty try… enough of the scrum penalty kak.
Wallabies 14 / 10
Well done to the Poms; that’s their strength and they’ve played to it – penalty try – Wallas scrum has much to learn.
After this game the Wallabies will go back to their old tried and trusted front row… this new one is not working.
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Quade Cooper…. good run by Digby Ioane.
Wallabies 21 / 10
England demolish the Wallabie front row again!
Penalty on halfway.
The Wallabies front row crumbled like a brittle cookie….
die souties scrum die k@k uit die bandiete uit
The Wallabies have Elsom and a backline…. and that’s about it….
@gbs en die engelse het n m@erse skrum so hulle match mekaar nogal goed
Poms have a clear advantage in the forwards…. but the Wallabies defence is very solid.
5m scrum for Poms, who’ll bet against another penalty try?
Penalty on the scrum, Poms opt to scrum again.
Ma’afu, Wallabie loosehead gets a yellow.
Almost going to uncontested scrums….
die bandiete gaan hulle uit die scrumme uit try crook kyk mooi
Another penalty try… I was right.
Wallabies 21 / 17
en wie se dat scrums uitgedien is
54@ smallies72:
Hulle beter dit maar doen want hulle word vermoor in die skrums
Penalty Wallabies, kickable.
Fair enough, second penalty try to the Poms. Bugga…..
Wallabies 24 / 17
