@ grootblousmile:
Just back in here from the Scotland game, and got the rugby on TV, looks like the All Blacks running away with this.
Wales over the line but they lost the ball just before the line… they will rue this missed opportunity.
31@ Bullscot:
The All Blacks are so creative in their running lines…
Wales are fighting bravely…
All Blacks run it from their own line…. then kick…
Penalty Wales now… kickable
Stephen Jones slots the penalty.
All Blacks 13 / 6
Tight head by the All Blacks in the scrum
All Blacks hold back a Welsh player… penalty, All blacks get a warning

Wales steals an All Black lineout.

@ grootblousmile:
Keep your pants on – it is the middle of the night & a tense game 🙄
46@ Rugby_Princess:
Hey, my pants are firmly on… I’m a decent type of oke…. hehehe
46@ Rugby_Princess:
So the Springboks bludgeoned the Pommies… did you see the game?
@ grootblousmile:
ABs are tired & is a very emotional game for them. They want to have a big game so badly for John Sturgeon – perhaps they are trying too hard instead of relaxing & letting their natural game flow.
@ grootblousmile:
I must confess I watched the first half & then went to bed.
49@ Rugby_Princess:
No man, they’re still doing well… 2 good tries from them.
@ grootblousmile:
Quite a bit of niggle off the ball … reckon there could be a proper punch up before the 80 minute mark.
49@ Rugby_Princess:
Heard that all 29 Miners perished…. apparently there was a 2nd explosion??
Cowan kicks out directly
Penalty all Blacks, well in their own half
Wales now attacking hard, but the All Blacks defence is good
All Blacks ruck well and turn the ball over… deep kick upfield by Mils
@ grootblousmile:
Yes, it is awful. A third explosion yesterday – but the second explosion was terrible & left a fire burning deep in the mine. No hope at all of anyone surviving.
Ryan Jones and Lidiate off, Powell on….
Sonny Bill Williams off, Ma’a Nonu on
