Will be an interesting match, both are in the same Group as the Springboks in RWC 2011.
Wales should win comfortably.
Not too comfortably…remember Fiji in the world cup…if they are up for it, Wales are in for a tough evening!!

Fiji won’t be able to do it up front… and in the Northern Hemisphere they won’t beat Wales… again.

Een van die Pumas se rugbylegendes, ‘Oom Gert’ Grobler, is Vrydagoggend na ‘n lang stryd teen kanker oorlede.
Hy is vanoggend om 04:00 oorlede in ‘Oom Gert’ was die broer van oud-Springbok Kleintjie Grobler en het ook vier wedstryde vir Noord-Transvaal in 1971 gespeel.
Hy was ‘n veelsydige losvoorspeler én slot. En het die Pumas ook as spanbestuurder, onder-president en later as president verteenwoordig.
Begrafnisreëlings sal op ‘n latere tydstip aangekondig word.

@ Blue Bird:
Good evening BB
Hope Wales play at their best, i dont like Fiji , they are only providing NZ with more fire power. 😆
@ superBul:
Hi superBul, nice fire going here…..will open a bottle of wine in a moment, hope the Welsh boys have a good game tonight.
What was your prediction for the Scotland v Bok game?
@ Blue Bird:
cant remember but i am tired of these close wins by the Boks so i hope for a big one, think i picked it 20 or 22 to the Boks. Brave or stupid???
Naand mense.
Ek hoop Fiji gee Wales n’ goeie skrik.
Net wat Wales nodig het om hulle selfbeeld meer skade te doen
@ superBul:
The close finnish made for a great atmosphere last Saturday, it was desperate in the last 5 mins!
I have just seen a close up of Frans Steyn ‘Porno Star’ moustache on Facebook…it is hillarious, what is he thinking??
Not a ‘Bird Pulling’ look!
You’ll be surprised what turns a french woman on
OK, are you ready….
Having my dinner inbetween here… selection of the nicest cheeses, cold meats, biscuits… fatastic finger dinner…
Biltong slices….
Wonderful
Life is great!
Evening everyone. Wales should win this one easy.
24@ Puma:
Hello Ouma Puma….
Game On!!
@ Blue Bird:18 – Hello BB, So you have a log fire going, sounds kinda nice. I have my air con on full.. hehehe. Enjoy your wine.
Wales should wint his one, no sweat.
Hummm…Fijian ‘Haka’…..Not sure about that.
Frans rally farked Shane ~Williams up didn’t he!!
🙁@ grootblousmile:
Sounds like a tasty offering you have there!
@ grootblousmile:25 – Howzit Gbs, Jeepers I have been busy this week. Now for the rugga. Hope our Boks don’t give us almost heart attacks near the end tomorrow. For once want a good win and not close.
The Fijians are fine human muscle specimens… just not in their nature to play as tight as is sometimes necessary… it goes against their natural flair.
Missed penalty to posts by Fiji
