Come on Blues… I want one more converted try
I have wasted this entire game trying to find it on Justin.tv – piece of crap 😡 send me to iTunes to download their latest “free” software except iTunes won’t accept anyone downloading even free software who does not have a US Billing Address & they wonder why the rest of the world thinks they are a bunch of oxygen thieves 😡
All this is because Australia Network is too slack a*se to show the games live – even when an Australian team is playing & they wonder why rugby is dying in Australia 😡
i see Andrew Hore from the canes might be out of rugby forever, he popped his shoulder yesterday against the tahs and it might be game over for him…..always sad if this happens to a player…
More al julle mopkoppe !!!
