Oh fluck I see that I am 14th on the log, hope that it isn’t a bad omen for the VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Penalty Parra
Frogs now 18 / 6
Trin-Duc ain’t no Morne Steyn
I think my prediction was France by 19… they’re already 12 ahead.
Penalty Patterson
Frogs 18 / 9
Come on Frogs…. I need to bloody score on Bru
Fark, Parra misses
The game is now a “wille getjommel”
Come Frogs… a converted try would do well now from this scrum
Scrum goes up….
Scots get a penalty… oi
Freddie Michelac the Froggie now on
Kick, kick, kick….
Grrrrrr, I’ll have the win correct but my margin will be wayward…. flok!
Last minute
Game over
France 18 / 9
Imanol Harinordoquy is deserved MOTM!
I’ve updated the SuperBru standings… and fark, I’m still a bottomdweller on the log!
Watched all of the 6N games, and can honestly say I saw no distinctly noticeable difference in the way the games were referreed (in comparison to previous years).
Who’se pulling who’s leg regarding the strict policing of the breakdown? Are the NH ref’s trying to give that famous Irish referree Paddy O’Brian the middle finger?
GBS@47 – Good morning all.
Where do we see the logs?
Will you publish teams for Super 14 – going to be very difficult to predict if I don’t have access to the teams.
Think I could enjoy this game. 😆
Big one this coming weekend – France vs Ireland.
49 – Irish, Morning to you too mate.
Well done to Ireland, though knew they would beat Italy.
The bigge this Friday for sure. After watching France against Scotland think Ireland will nip them.
S14 starts Friday too. BIG, rugga this weekend. Also the test cricket is on Proteas/India. We playing in India at the moment. Have 3 wickets this morning but after that it has dried up a bit.
49@ Oirish – The Logs and SuperBru standings are available here on the web site, open your eyes, it is just under the header graphics!!
Regarding Teams and Picks…. we do a PREVIEW of all Super 14 games on the Thursday before the weekend, well in time for the picking deadlines… but only after full team announcements have been done by the respective teams….
This is going to be a marvelous week, this is our 1st normal Super 14 lead up to the 1st games of 2010.
GBS@51 – Thanks! I feel like a naughty school boy who has just been whipped by his teacher. 😆
This is all new to me. Now I know. hehehehe
