Erg op my senuwees, manne. Jinne ek gaan befonk wees as ons die ene verloor.

@ McLook:
You can relax man, may make hard work of it in the beginning but sure Boks will win.
Helloooooooooo!
Gooooooooooo Bokkeeeeeeee!

Ek is ook maar op my seningwees!
Just more than half an hour to go
Weather in Wellington looks bad
In the conditions, hope Spies & Danie Rossouw is not prone to handling errors.
This game is the best matchup of the first round.
Maybe the England vs Argentina game was more even
Looks like a nice Stadium, the Wellington Regional Stadium
In conditions like these I’d like to see Bissie on sooner rather than later. Just gives far more options in the loose exchanges. The split balls are going to have to be snapped up, or disrupted, and if HB can make the first contact with BdP next player there and getting hands on, it’ll cause the Taffy Bastids all kinds of trouble.

Etzakkerly!
Hope the Schalkinator fires well… he’s been out a while
Toby Faletau. Nice Welsh name that. I wonder which coal mine his Grandfather worked in?
Or maybe he was a sheep farmer in North Walse?
So glad Fransie Steyn has cut his mop of hair
Wales won the toss
With 1 game to go in round 1 Kwagga will be our 1st round winner
1 Kwagga 10.5 1.50 12.00
2 yoda 9.5 0.75 10.25
3 grootblousmile 9.0 0.25 9.25
4 BlouMasjien 9.0 0.00 9.00
5 Henniek 8.5 0.50 9.00
Hey, Fransie Steyn has shorn his locks.
Wonder if his Granny loves him again now? His Frog slapper probably won’t speak to him though!!!
18 @ Scrumdown:
As long as she does’nt slap her own froggy… hehehe
Players coming out
Geez the Kiwi flag bearers are as white as Casper the friendly ghost!
The young lad carrying the SA flag looks like a real nerd!

17
Sorry, my counting is wrong, i thought he led by 2.75 and there is only 2.5 available.
JdV and Mossie to smash the Taffy Bastid midfield and destroy there dreams?
Vark I hope so.
Anthems
Wales anthem always impressive
Land Of Our Fathers is not so intimidating without 60 000 drunken Welsh gits singing it!
Stand at attention for the SA Anthem!
Goosebumps!
Heeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaa
kry julle ook sulke koue rillings met die volkslied?
