Was hoping Ohnny would be reduced to just a symbol at the end of the match
@ Blue Bird:130 – Will try it again. Last smiley never came out. 🙂
Penalty England, what will Hnny do?
They go for posts
Go Scotland. Pity Scotland lost to Arg. They would be on top of this pool if they had not. That is if they beat England.
Now think they are heading home after this game. What a pity.
Back to Ohnny… over
Scotland 12 / 9
Poms come crawling back
England supporters found their voices again
@ grootblousmile:
Definitely Ohnny now! on the verge of taking back his full name!
16 minutes left in the match
Tom Croft just back in time to dot down from a cross kick.
22m drop out
Ohnny almost fluffs the drop out
Morning ouens,
Go the Och Ayes!!!
Mike Tindell, not looking good… leg injury

Kitaartjie, jou moegoe, is dit nou die tyd om hier aangewals te kom?
I feel that one Scottish mistake can hand this game to England.
Ohnny goes for goal to square things up…
Picts play so well, and then do that. It will cost them the match
Short….
Hnny!
back to Hnny now-
Penalty Scotland… a relieving one
Still no hint of a try in the match
Toby Flood on for Tindell
This match could even end in a draw…
9 Minutes to go in the match
Picts giving this one away now, they’re tired
Ref missed a blatant England infringement at the ruck, England player kicking the ball from a side entry.
Meanwhile England now get a penalty
Ek maak reg virre gig, Gbs so my prioriteite is obviously ‘n allegaartjie vnoggend.
Poms have a better bench too
Knock by England…
Where is this match going?
Nowhere!
