Goooooooooo Wallabies (this should please Old Griqua)!!
@ grootblousmile:
I thought you hated the Aussies…………
Suppose you will support USA in the football this evening!!
Pahhhhh…….. 🙁
If England dont beat Wallabies today they have no hope for next year.
Their front row and 2 reserve front rowers total 150 test caps…the wallabies front row and 2 reserve front rowers total 149. That is not 149 test caps it is 149 minutes TOTAL at test rugby.
I do believe England will beat wallabies but seriously hope Wallabies come out clubbing. Good on Deans for not reverting to old horses but going for next best on form.
Ok, I’m nice and refreshed…. Bokke gear on…. ready for rugby.
@ Wallabie.:
Red card to Poms in 15min?
Game on
Eishhhhhhhh, Ozzie commentators moaning about the referee again like babies…. flok where’s that remote, bloody switch over to Korean rather than those tosspots….
Penalty Ozzie, O’Connor going for posts.
Missed
Can you believe it, not even a sell-out for a big game like this.
Bigggggggg scrum by the Poms… penalty to them but in their own 22m area.
cooper kook!!!
Try Rocky Elsom.
Wallabies 7 / 0
Morning all. Good to see the Irish got a hammering,there big mouths irritate me 🙂
Stop-start game…. freegin Northern Hemisphere referee… Nigel Owens of Wales.
These are the two teams I dislike the most,so hoping for a draw here..
Jeeeez but the Ozzies are kakking big time in the scrums… penalty for Poms, penalty No 3 for them in the scrums.
Flood goes for posts.
Flood misses a sitter.
Hallo you all. Anybody got a link for the match?
Why is the Aus front row so inexperienced.. Thought they were building a half decent tight 5.
Bokkkkkkke
18@ bluepete:
Sorry, don’t have one… nobody’s mentioned one yet.
Try the usual suspects…. justintv and spvod and so on.
19@ grootblousmile:
If you ever stood next to the hooker, Faingaa, you’ll understand, the boytjie is very small.
Try Quade Cooper…
That try was sick,even with shit forwards they are still a very good side 🙂
Wallabies 14 / ZIPPPP
If England dont score next it might be game over..
England look so static..
27@ Winston:
Was just going to say that the Poms play such archaic and stale rugby… and not even mastering that either…. scrums their only good area.
Wallabie defence has been excellent, Poms just cannot get through.
If the Wallabies concede points here it WILL be due to a weak scrum….
