Last night after the rugby I watched some Sky News and BBC News about the Japan Quakes and Tsunami’s.

Man, that is scary stuff!!

Did you guys see how the Tsunami swept for miles inland in Japan? Fark me sideways!!!

Due to a lack of interest shown here in comments, comments will now stop

@ grootblousmile:
Hehehehe

I know the feeling. I get it every day at home.

Let’s face it though, I doubt there’s too much interest in this game in SA apart from the Superbru impact.

I’m really gobsmacked at the strips though. One team in yellow jerseys with black shorts and socks, and the other in red and yellow jerseys with black shorts and socks.

Referees nightmare, and potentially very incorrect decisions at ruck time with spotting who infringes a lottery.

Eish Rugby sometimes just can’t seem to organise things 100%

Canes need to win by 9 PLEASE.

I need to get my Superbru ass off the place reserved for the Lions on the log.

Seems like all of the conferences are going to be tight.

I see it’s 5 years to the day that SA won the 438 game.

Indians must beware! Maybe Smith will make some runs at last.

grootblousmile on 12 March 2011 at 10:20 am

OK, see you guys a bit later.

@ grootblousmile:
Cheers GBS. Have a good Saturday morning. Beware the Panne crowds when venturing outdoors.

If my significant other is wearing orange when I get home this afternoon, I’ll despatch her back to the Karroo where she came from.

Rebellion in the ranks will not be tolerated.

Scrumdown on 12 March 2011 at 10:26 am

GBS, I see what you mean about the lack of interest.

This place is a quiet as a Lions fan club meeting after the team took a hiding.

Scrumdown on 12 March 2011 at 10:27 am

In fact it’s probably as quiet as the celebration party the Bulls held after last week’s game!
