That’s the French army you are talking about, their tanks came out with one gear forward and a 6 speed reverse gearbox
Japanese 10 has a great boot on him..
@ nga puhi:
if we underestimate them at the WC next year the boks will be unpleasently surprised. how good is their defence? that 13 would also give fakitua a run for his money. male sa’a (sounds tongan though?)
11 Minutes to go in the game
italy making the mistake by playing with their backline while the only way they can win this is with their forwards.
@ Just For Kicks:
Good morning Sir Justforskoppers, mind if we call you ‘skoppie’ !

Japan defending well, Italy with all the ball.
152 @ nortierd:
& Macro
Nope, Frogs were on “our” side…the Poms designed “their” tanks without a reverse gear!
@ MacroBok:
try Italy.. come on Japan
agree, italy can win it with their forwards, but Im hoping Japan answer straight back 😀
157 @ Pietman:
We’re not allowed to swear at out fellow bloggers…. so no way can we call him Skoppie!
@ Pietman:Howzit Pietman, how are you feeling – can the whiskey industry breath a sigh of relief yet?
Call me what you like, my wife does, and it couldn’t be any worse
@ BrumbiesBoy:
lol the french went into reverse gear at such a rate half their war heros ended up going to the other side
Try Wallas, Phipps

I remember the ABs beating them 105-0 in WC2005 in Bloemfontein, think that record still stands.
That rosy cheeked curly permed winger of yours scored 5 tries that day, I recall, was also the last time we heard from him….
@ Pietman:157
“I have the ‘land of the Rising Sun” by 10, just for the record.”
Jammer om van jou kak te hoor
@ Pietman:

Wallabies 39 / 13 France
Hope Japan hang on, 3 point win will be great
argh these ads are killing meeeeee
2 Minutes to go.
French penalty on halfway
@ Just For Kicks:
Doing ok thx bro, don’t talk about Scotch please!
I am contemplating flying over to Cairo for a drom or two, seriously! It is only an hour away, and the airport bar is open 24/7…
So, just how good are the Aussies, and has this tournament been a good yardstick for them? I hate to slag off any team, but eish, these Frogs have gone backwards in the last year – if thats at all possible
I msmust say peyper has done well in this game. could easily have blown japan off the park at scrum time

145-0 (I think they may have got a few points) in SA if memory serves Piet. WC2005? that must be good medicine they giving you 😀
Seconds to go, last French lineout
167 @ MacroBok:
145-0?
147-0?
@ Just For Kicks:173
My money will be on the Wallabies to stop NZ from getting the record test wins at Sydney.
Think they are quite good, and the SR also shows the Aussies are on the up
@ Pietman: I reckon you should spend an extra couple of hours on that plane, miss out the smell, and come and spend some time in real whiskey country – we could have an awesome couple of days rejuvenating both you and the industry as a whole. Seriously!
