Congrats ABs
Well think my bru for a change is off to a flying start……
Think I had ABs by 7
@ grootblousmile:
Daasit nou, geluk! Sien, jy moet net voortaan my pikke volg….
Okay only was only 3 points out otherwise would have had it spot on.
101 @ Pietman:
Jou gat, my skat!
Maar dankie vir die gelukwense!
102 @ Puma:
Daft English up there…. lol.
Meant = Was only 3 points out…. 🙄
Now for the Reds vs British & Irish Lions… game is in 10 minutes
104 @ Puma:
What will you be without your TYPO’s…. hahaha
91 @ grootblousmile:
Agree. Not sure why they don’t start with Ranger. Terrific player for sure.
French let themselves down though. Once should have been over easy, but for the daft pass almost to the ankles and missed a sitter of a try there had the pass gone to hands would have been over. Also again if their scrum was working think they might have got a try being so close to the ABs line. Instead gave a penalty to ABs.
Looking forward to our Bokke later, just that against Italy not that sure how much we can take from our game later. We should be too good for them. I know they played well in the 6 Nations just think we will be far too good.
28 @ Pietman:
Hi ya Pietman, yes the Japan game was close but it was a much weakened Wales team made up of some 2nd stringers and possible 1st choice flyhalf then for the rest at best 3rd or maybe even 4th best in the country with so many Welsh guys in the Lions team and some others rested or injured.
Regarding Kotze the France replacement prop – I may be wrong as am away from home so dont have access to my info but if I remember right think he had some connection with Free State or you could be right the Bulls.
50 @ grootblousmile:
You should have paid more attention to the Wales team picked for the game rather than making your pick before the team was announced
