Due to an obvious lack of interest from bloggers, the 3rd game won’t be updated live.

Definately not going to talk to myself for a third game too.

53@ grootblousmile:Sorry boeta, was gonna watch and blog with you during this game.

Something came up and had to go out just after 4pm. Now back home.

Just in time to see the charge down and a try by Munster.

Hardly ever watch nh rugby. From what I have seen just hope we never go north. We need to stay in the sh and play our rugby here.

Well done to Munster. My team I support up there. Only cause of Irish Devil. Wonder what happened to our Irish friend that blogged here?
