@ grootblousmile:57 – Hoping boeta.
Just keeping up with the game here boet, doing some last min work in my office before the Sharks game.
Looks like I picked wrong on bru again, damn it is difficult this year? Never really know who to go with.
61@ Puma:
Yes, damn difficult to pick!
Brumbies seems to be the stronger side but the Reds have taken their penalties well and Brumbies have been ill-diciplined
Sri Lanka 57/2 (10.6 ov)
Australia
It is time for uncontested scrums in rugby, i am sick and tired of refs toying with the scrums
Penalty Reds, right in front for Surfer Dude to slot

EEE and Sharks forever got it both at 6
26 points on the night for Quade Surfer Dude Cooper
The Reds win a crucial turnover near halfway and Genia kicks deep. The Brumbies have to restart from inside their 22. They win a turnover, but the Reds scramble and the ball is bundled into touch as the full-time hooter goes. That is it – the Reds have win in Canberra for the first time since 1996 and the Brumbies are still losing, despite all their player power. THey look like a team with internal trouble, where egos are more important than the game.
EEE also had them by 6
10 people had the reds to win , the rest brunbies
