Is that really a surprise? Sexton’s been playing bloody good rugby lately and O’Gara have a history of getting rattled by big loose forwards. Just ask New Zealand…
It’s a good & hard squad….
Yip, a very good squad.
Now hoping no injuries to our top players and we select right we can match them. Please no Adi at inside centre for this game. WO has to start.
Well Ronan did loose his head against the Boks at Loftus!!
Although I was there I missed the incident as I had spotted Percy Montgomery standing infront of me and I was like a rabbit stuck in the headlights, absoultley mesmerised!!
Missed Ronan loosing the match for the Lions!! 🙁
This is spooky……are you all in bed or something?
Oh well, Puma is only 72 posts behind me now, so I had better keep up my average…..
Would you like to know my opinion about how the Boks can improve their scrumming???? 😉
What Bakkies should do to fix his back for Saturday and my considered verdict on John Smits sutability as a hooker??
Oh well………..perhaps another time!! 😆
Problems this side with certain pages…

10@ Karlien – Yip, frustrating.
Hi Puma, all good here thanks. Hey stop telling your players they should not stay for the Barbarians fixture.
It is an honour for them and they enjoy the experience….anyway they do not really ‘go for it’ they are a bit circumspect!!!
11@ Puma – Busy sorting out the issues
