GBS ek sien ek en jy verskil oor hierdie game
Ek het die Skotte gepick met 3
Wales should take this one… my SuperBru says Wales by 7… but I think I was a little too conservative in my prediction
1@ superBul:
Skotland het goed teen die Bokke gespeel laasjaar, maar ek dink Wallis behoort hulle ore aan te sit…. sal maar sien.
Ek gaan spring net gou deur die swembad… dis moer bedompig hier
Daasy… drupnat sommer hier so by die PC… nou voel ek beter
Dink jy Bullscott is na die game toe?
OK, anthems over… game about to start
6@ superBul:
Seker maar
Game On
i Think Mallet must be on thin ice in Italy after todays game.
Try Shane Williams for Wales
Hello all, oh no this is not the start we need!
Wales 7 / 0
Shane i see has 55 test tries to his name, very good indeed
James Hook showed there why he should be the first choice flyhalf for Wales, far better than Jones in my opinion, such a dangerous runner.
@ Bullscot:
Hello , i thought you whereat the game.
12@ Bullscot:
Hello Bully… we were skinnering about you just now…. hehehe
Penalty Wales, very kickable
Wales 10 / 0
@ superBul: 16 and GBS 17
Howzit guys nou wat skinner julle van my 🙂 No not at the game watching it from home, was going to go but things just too busy at the moment.
Another Wales penalty… kickable
@ Bullscot:
we wondered if you went to the game
Wales 13 / 0 as James Hook slots it
…and yet again there is a kickable Wales penalty.
Ref nailing Scotland, big time
Wales 16 / ZIPPP
@ superBul:
Not this week, will be there next week though. Things going so badly today need something to try get into the game. Seen more of Jamie Roberts today than in the whole of the game last week, looking ominous.
Bullscot i think something miraculous must happen for Scotland to get in this game, things look ugly
Penalty Scotland and Welsh lock gets a yellow.
Very dangerous high tackle by the Welsh…. flag out.
Another Welsh yellow… now 13 men on for them
…maybe that was the Scottish miracle SuperBees wanted…. hehehe
