Think its a bit yuk blogging and not being able to see the game.
Almost another AB try.. good grubber through
Watch this scrum….
Oooooooooo, here comes a yellow for All Blacks prop….
No, just a stern talking to…
Our refs are lovely.
what was that from Woodcock… silly play..
127@ Treehugger:
… and they blow a good game too…. hehehe
All Blacks ruck the Wallas clean off their ball… good turnover
@ Puma:
Morning Puma, how is Unhlanga this morning?
@ grootblousmile:
idiot ::-):
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaa
i’m back
but
now i’ve missed most of the game, though 😥
Hodgson on for Pocock…. Pocock nursing a very sore shoulder.
@ grootblousmile:
I thought rucking was not allowed anymore ? ? ?
wallabies (from the bit that i ve seen)
are playing much better today
..
can see that they definately dont want to go into the history books as one of the worst aus sides for some time!
135@ Treehugger:
Only the use of boots in a ruck is not allowed….
@ Ashley:
that will teach you to go pub crawling so early in the morning.
@ nga puhi:
Boks will be ‘Rabid’….great expression. Their poor form this season has really stuffed my suprBru up!! (Have to get your prioities right) !!
As for Keo, I like a bit of Keoing now and again but this if more relaxed….no nutters remembering things you said about 2 years ago!! I mean, get a life!! 😆 That is plain wierd.
hellllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooo
ek
het gewas
julle ka ma trugkom!!
@ nga puhi:
I agree with you about the yellow cards; give them a warning and lets get on with the game.
I dont think the aus team are bad at all, just that this kiwi team seem to be in a different league right now.
140@ Ashley:
Hey, jy moetie net wassie… djy moet skrop!
McCaw’s bloody good…pushing the boundries, but good. Watch him keeping players from going to ground sometimes. That way he doesn’t have to release the tackled player and they can rip the ball out.
Good attack by Mitchell and Sharpe…
@ Treehugger:
Hugs, it is fine blogging for games like this I only get really peeved when I can’t find Boks or Bulls matches in the internet.
Usually the commentary here gives me a good idea of what is happening…..
@ Blue Bird:
their poor form has assisted my superbru 😉
Breakdown turnover stats so far:
NZ managed to turn 7 over, Wallas only 1
