Wales penalty, for not rolling away… very easy kick at goal
86 @ nortierd:Unfortunately, in the last few years, the club has gone right down. Haven’t been for a couple of years, it’s so bad. Sad, as was a stunning place, used to love taking the kids there on the weekends
Wales 17 / 6 France
Wales playing good rugby
Quite a contrast to what we have seen in SR the last 2 weeks, bar the Sharks
Sounds strange saying that the NH rugby looks more attractive

That’s sad to hear.
Last time I was there was about 2008 or so.
My wives father, mother and brother is buried there, so when we back in CT we make a turn there.
Used to be really stunning, so many foreign and local film companies filmed there, the SAFCOL mountains in the background, dam in the front, stunning scenery
Little knock by Wales at the base of the ruck after the lineout
Tighthead by Wales… impressive
95 @ nortierd:Yup, certainly going to make the WC more interesting next year.
TH by Wales
Wales penalty… could be a shot for Halfpenny

We stayed in one of those small cottages on the left as you enter the grounds.
Tiny inside, but wow, when you consider your front lawn is a cricket field with a dam next to it, who cares about size of the rooms
Wales 20 / 6 France
Stadium erupts into 1 voice. Awesome

@ nortierd:
Jy het eendag gepraat van n ou boekwinkel in Langstraat wat rugbyboeke ens aanhou, as ek reg onthou?
Presies waar is dit asb, ek gaan vlg week gou Kaap toe, en ek en die vrou stap graag daar langs, drink altyd n dop by daai ou kroeg oorkant die moskee….net om n steek in tekry teen daai ouens in Saudi!
Sal graag by daai boekwinkel wil uitkom.
@ nortierd:do you remember Brian Pickering? Also lives in one of those cottages, was shot through the neck after being held at gunpoint. Lured Brian out of the house by turning on all the outside taps. Brian went outside to see what the noise was. You probably left at the right time
Studio scathing of French – especially Guscot, who says the French back line look like they have just been pulled from the street for the match

Long Street
Dis n one way op rigting berg.
Begin onder by Tommy’s bookshop dan werk julle julle pad op boontoe. Entjie se stap, maar die moeite werd. Daar is weerskante van die straat boekwinkels, so jy kruis maar so heen en weer. Heel op die einde is Select Books, dis die treasure trove. Ongelooflike seleksie en hoeveelheid rugby boeke en autobiographies. Hulle spesialiseer in rugby boeke en afrikana.

Rare and Out of Print Books. Select Books is located at 232 Long Street, Cape Town, South Africa. We buy and sell out of print and new books.
Agree with Guscott that Rhys Webb has been super for Wales providing quick ball to the backs with a strong pass, good replacement for Mike Phillips.
It always amazes me that a team with such talent, and players who come form the best clubs in the NH just cannot pull it together when it comes to the Blue Jersey

No, can’t quite recall him, but sjoe, that’s bad.
2nd Half ON!
@ nortierd:
Nou praat jy, dankie man! Ek gaan beslis Long Street stap, vanaf Tommy’s af berg toe. Behoort my lekker dors te maak, hehehehe!
Ek soek Gordon Brown se autobiografie, die oorlede 1974 slot van McBride se Leeus
@ nortierd:
@110 Het hom, thx.
France have come out with a bit more passion this half

Nog nie syne gesien nie, ek het n mooi hardeband print van Willie John McBride. Daar is 2 weergawes, een in Engels and dan een in die taal wat die Walliesers gooi, maar mens kan nie kop of stert uitmaak as hulle daai klomp letters bymekaar vroeg nie
France penalty… missed left
Great steal by Wales, but isolated
