Ken jy frans ? As ek hul vanne so kyk wonder ek wat dit beteken. Kyk Venter is n smous, Muller is n meulenaar, wat is Parra?
118: ja, enige iets kan verander binne ‘n week of twee, hang af hoe speel ons oorsee.
120
Ja daai broer van ons in die tronk is vader krismis teen die oorsese spanne, kyk hoe speel hulle uit hul velle teen ons. Asof ons hulle treurmare veroorsaak.
Cheetah losskakel was vandag baie swak, sy dwars skoppies was onmoontlik om te jaag, selfs Shaddow sou nie daar kom nie. Skop is nog alraait as jy dit goed doen nie soos hulle vandag nie.
121: hy kom van Parraquay ?
Paar taai wedstryde wat voorlê volgende week vir ‘n klomp ‘contenders’:
Brumbies teen Chiefs
Canes – Sharks
Tahs – Blues
Ctahs – Reds
Sharks kan ons heros word deur die volgende game te wen, ook moet die Tahs se geluk met die refs nou stop.
Reg die game het begin
3-0 France
3 3 – 0
Trinh-Duc – drop goal
2
The opening exchanges are fairly even until trinc- Duc finds touch with a massive kick into the England 22.
Hartley continues to have problems throwing and is not straight giving France an attacking scrum in great position.
TRY England
7-3 Eng
5min 3 – 7
Foden – try
Flood – conversion
4min
What a start for Foden.! TRY!
It’s a hundred mile an hour start here. England are right at the French- Cueto has had a good run up the left wing and his chip was blocked. But that is one of several useful attacks with most of the forwards involved around the flanks and the backs moving it well. So many lines of attack and so much pace and intent- where has al this come from. More importantly- can they keep it up?
The Poms are going to win this.
The scrums are less fluent and we have had a minute of fiddling around at both so far. Once we get going France have there chance to attack and look good but are shackled well.
11 min
England are caught off-side at a ruck but Parra misses the resulting penalty. The rain is coming down now- let’s hope it doesn’t restrict this as a spectacle because it is great so far.
The Frogs are ALWAYS beaten by the Krauts at war and the Poms at rugby.
Flood makes a half break but knocks on. France are resorting to kicking game but they can play any game know and England are forced to defend a line out in their 22 again.
Enhgland win a penalty but it is reversed as Shaw tackled without using his arms. It is his last action as he is forced to go off with injury to be replaced by Palmer.
18min 6 – 7
Parra – penalty goal
7-6 to the Poms.
France (0) 9 – 7 (0) England (24′)
Just a final peek, well done to the SCOTS!!!
Haai Loskoppie jy speel daai Superbru bleddie goed, mooi losvoor.
34min 12 – 7
Parra – penalty goal
France (0) 12 – 7 (0) England (HT)
France (12) 12 – 10 (7) England (67′)
This 2 National sides would have been mauled by the Stormers and the Bulls, this was the worst test i have watched for years.
