Hello folks
Yep, here we go again, one of the best international sport contests: neighbours All Blacks against their antipodean cousins, the Wallabies!!!!!!!
GO THE WALLABIES – LET’S SEE WHAT YA GOT!!!!!!!
I still feel very undecided on who is going to win this game.. My head says the Blacks will cruise it by 10 but maybe the All Blacks will lack motivation..
Sportsbet has the ABs at $1.45; Wallabies $2.75 to win.
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Good luck mate… should be a cracker..
Kia Kaha Black.
Okay finally a game thread. Left a message on the AB/Wallabies view thread.
GOOD luck to both teams. Normally I would be supporting the ABs. But with my good Aussie mate OldG here and my two kiwi mates Nga and RP will have to be neutral today.
Hope we in for a good game. Cold and wet here in Durbs and great for sitting in to watch rugby.
Mark Lawrence the refs so there should be no problem there. Should be a cracker.
Damn, I fell my arse off this morning…. stepped into a hole with my right foot whilst carrying some garden shears in one hand and my Camels, lighther and House keys in the other…
Shears went flying one way, keys the other, lighter yet another way and the pack of siggies was absolutely crushed in my hand as I landed flat on my belly on a heap of wooden poles (of the type which you construct a thatched roof beams from).
You should have heard the cussing, it would have put Chris Rock or Eddie Murphy to shame… hehehe
@ nga puhi:
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Good luck to both your teams. Today I just sit up relax and watch….hehehe.
Enjoy the rugga.
Good luck to nga puhi and Old Griquas 14 in Sydney for their Teams in the battle to follow!
@ Puma:
Hey Puma, and cheers… GBS, not the smokes? 🙁
@ grootblousmile:7 – gbs, Blame it on the camels…..hahahaha.
You lucky boeta, could have been really serious had you landed on the shears. WATCH where you walking and throw away those camels with the condensed milk…hehe. Heart attack stuff brother.
@ grootblousmile:
uh GBS that’s what happens with you when either a barbie strolls by or you have one…..
btw, battled with the cd key again yesterday eve, will email you….
10@ nga puhi:
Now smoking some seriously bent Camels…. hehehe
off to watch the game, talk later
@ nga puhi:
Tenakwai (spelling) nga puhi, good luck to both sides, although you’d have to say the ABs don’t need any luck after achieving a level of match play that will take a lot of beating.
Stu Wilson says the ABs have been taking it easy watching the boks v Wallas; he says ABs will cruise to a win in the last 10 mins.
11@ Puma:
I have no Condensed Milk at the moment… just a Tin of Caramel (cooked condensed milk)… hehehe
@ grootblousmile:
thanks GBS, lots of excitement here about this match – love it!!!!!!!
raak sommer weer de bledie hel in met SA se defense as hulle die re-play’s wys….
@ nga puhi:10 – Morning Nga, Looking forward to this game. Just relaxing for me no worries. Love these games when I don’t have to suffer almost heart attack stuff……..hehehehe.
You know me I always support ABs when not playing Boks. But for today will be neutral cause of my good mate OldG here. Also you and RP that blog here. So to the kiwis and Aussies here. Just enjoy it.
May the best team win.
Been busy this morning…
Repaired my paving after I had fixed a water leak on Monday which was right under the paved driveway, then I was up on the roof cutting and trimming a bush of brances and leaves of a “rankplant” which was heavily overgrown, then sorted the pool out….
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Good luck, I really hope you boys can stem the black tide today….
Listening to Graham Henry now, jeeeeezzzz, he sounds more like Joel Stransky by the day, wonder if they are in any way related! 🙂
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney: Kei te pai thanks, yourself? yep the ABs had the better of the preparation stakes, but the Wallabies will be bouyed by their win in SA.. like Fox I think they will tire towards the end..
some exciting matchups.. MCalman- Reid etc..
@ Puma:
This should be a great game Puma, hope you enjoy it mate. A nice Aussie red in hand and ready to go . . .
@ grootblousmile:16 – Ja, but you will get the condensed milk later no doubt….hehehe. Stay away from it also those carmels. BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDD for you…hehehe. Rather just stick to having a glass of red wine, way better for you…..hehehehe
I recon the All Blacks should win… that’s my pick on SuperBru as well (AB’s by 18).
But I’m just looking forward to seeing some good rugga!
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:23 – Enjoy the Red Wine OldG. My favourite as you know..LOL.
24@ Puma:
Can’t stay away from the stuff… that’s where I get my zipppppppp and fire from…. and my sense of humor…. hehehe
@ Pietman:
Howzit Pietman? This should be a telling match; the wallas might tire at the back end, that’s why they have a bench of similar standard players. Let’s hope the game delivers a spectacle we’ll remember for quite awhile. This will also prove to be a pointer to the RWC……….
No excuses; wallas need a win against the ABs, and this is our chance.
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
better a NZ red surely? ;D
@ Pietman:21 – Piet, good to see you here. How you doing?
@ grootblousmile:27
Nah, that stuff don’t give you sense of humour just a bad lungs……LOL. Give it up.
Okay off to watch the start now.
