    Carol, I have no idea at all who is playing for Japan or Canada. Thought Canada the otherday would ahve beaten the tiny Japs. Maybe they have some big PIs playing for them 🙄 They gave Canada a hiding. So went with them.

    Oz playing the club side not sure there just had a guess have no idea about NH clubs hardly watch.

    65@ BiDiBiDi – website unavailable…

    Is jy in SA, want dit kan wees dat dit net in SA gefilter word..

    Kyk gou of jy inkom op daai exact address.

    63 BDB our mid week team should never have carried the name of Springboks but rather a SA 15. Something like that.

    They know deep down that was not our World Cup squad. It will go down in history though that it was. That is why even in our 2nd team we should always select the best. With our 2nd best we would have won both games. Now we just throw away our Bok name by playing players that probably should never have made that team.

    67 – Can I be the English Correspondent? I will go and find Bakkies, John, Habs and the rest and interview them for Rugby Talk. I have been following John Smits Twitter, have to say it is not a bundle of laughs, I could probably liven things up a bit!!

    Last photo – Beast and a plate of chips!! Mmmmmm, they need some fun – badly!!

  • 76

    Ek dink ons skrums gaan weer swaar kry. Bekker stoot mos niks in die skrum.

  • 77

    66 – Carol just something going on in my head 😆 Thinking of buying holiday apartment over there.

    Not Barcelona. Costa Blanca what you think of it there?

  • 78

    71 – BDB, now we do think of Leicester as English it has to be said!

  • 79

    @snoek ek laaik nogal vir sykes en reken hy en david kan dalk goed vir sa kombineer in die toekoms

  • 80

    Puma @ 77 – Just make sure that the apartment don’t have steps, for the knees. 😆

  • 81

    76 – Snoek, Agree but Vic has to have a rest. Danie should have filled in ther and Deysel should have started at blindside. He is genuine 7 and a damn good one at that. Pleased he made the bench but would have had him start.

  • 82

    75@ Carol – Special Correspondent from the Cotswolds… of course!

    Press Card, the works… must just teach you about computers first…. hehehe… fark, you can’t even get Adobe Flash Player to work, hiehiehiehie.

  • 83

    77 – Puma, before you buy anything just watch the brilliant comedy programme – Benidorm!! Look it up on the internet…..it shows Spain and the Brits that visit it at their most hillarious.

    Just check the surroundings as so much development went unchecked during the 70’s and 80’s!!

  • 84

    Smallies 72 – Jammer daai twee is nie daar anderkant nie. Ek kan nou nog nie glo dat hulle vir Hargreaves gevat het nie.

  • 85

    80@ Visvoet – Wat het geword van daai materiaal wat jou vrou se mense vir ons sou regkry vir die TJINNERS?

  • 86

    @snoek hy kort serious mussels hel hy is maaaer

  • 87

    80 – Snoek, I have done my homework there…..hehehe. Wont buy a first floor if there is no lift.

    Just something I have been thinking of doing for awhile now.

    Not sure if it should be Spain or Italy. Will go over next year and look.

    Had some agents send me quite a lot of apartments to look at on the net. You just get a kinda idea but have to go over to look.

    Want to spend 6 months in Europe and 6 months in Umhlanga. Something like that. Eventually next year sell my Joburg home.

  • 88

    Puma – I would have started with Brussow, Deysel and Potgieter.

  • 89

    83 – Carol been to Benidorm. Not keen on it. There are some other nicer places the agents have sent to look on the net.

    Really will have to go over there next year to see myself though. Wont just buy something on the net that is crazy.

    73: dankie, ek het maklik daar ingekom, kry net nie dat die live streaming aankom nie. Sal vir Ed die Bul ook vra, hy gebruik ook mos die PC om ruggas te kyk.
