Morning All
Quick message to 4man…. Have a great time at Twickers with “Norm’s Nomads”, sorry I can’t be with you lot, today I would have been cheering for The Sharks.
Have a Guinness for me and enjoy. 🙂
This was a difficult one to pick on Bru… I went with the Waratahs by 7
Who is Donut Dunning playing for these days?
@ grootblousmile:
Brumbies by 3
Game On!
Aussie accent must be the worst.
Penalty Waratahs… about Brumbies 10m line.
Kurtley Beale goes for posts
Waratahs 3 / 0
6@ Loosehead:
That’s no lie!
Just now one of these suckers said the word “YEAR”… it sounded like “YEEE”
Hey GBS, the team in blue are the Waratahs and not the Bulls.
Penalty Brumbies, Giteau slots it
3 / 3
10@ Loosehead:
Naturally… the Bulls can’t speak Ugly Australian English… hehehe
2 Teams clearly struggling with form playing here…
Penalty Brumbies again, Gitts going for posts again
Over
Brumbies 6 / 3
Penalty Waratahs, Beale goes for posts
6 / 6
Chance for Giteau at posts…
Penalty for you, penalty for me…. ding-dong, ding-dong
Giteau misses one he should have slotted
This is such poor quality rugby.
Even the Cheetahs would beat this crap Waratah side.
19@ Loosehead:
They did, last week… hehehe
Penalty Waratahs, right in front.
Could either be a team warning or worse… only a warning
Waratahs 9 / 6
Easy penalty for the Brumbies… and the Waratahs gets marched 10 for throwing the ball away… and a Team warning
Giteau slots it
9 / 9
If this was an SA derby the Aussies would be slating the poor skills and boring play. However because it is an Aussie derby they say it is a classic arm wrestle.
@ grootblousmile:
@ Loosehead:
Answered you both back on the other thread. Forgot I was still in the Chiefs thread…hahaha.
Come on Tahs. For my bru.
24@ Loosehead:
True
This game is about as exciting as watching a Vodacom Cup game between Border Bulldogs and the Griffons.
Scrum penalty for the Waratahs… Beale goes for posts
Waratahs 12 / 9
@ Loosehead:24 – You probably right LH.
I don’t like this format this year. Should just have stuck with the old format. All teams should play each other once and none of this that some don’t play some teams. Think the format is flawed. Have said so from the start of this tourney. Hope it eventually goes back to the old format.
