16@ The_Young_Turk:
This a bit of a dead-rubber game… none of these 2 sides are anywhere near the running
Dag se mense, looks like this is a close game. Pity about the Lions loss earlier, was it good quality play by the Waratahs that did it?
@ Bullscot:
No, just the usual hondkak play by the Lions.
20@ Bullscot:
Hello,
Not really, it was super Kak Lions defence in the 1st half, which did it
Fark, I’m hungry… and Handbriekie is out shopping for a new Microwave oven… the one in the house popped 2 days ago…
21 and 22, thanks, oh dear thats a pity, so I guess last week was just a flash in the pan. You have to wonder why they would have made any unforced changes to their team once it had finally got a win under their belt…
2nd half on
Been making some food… and see that nothing’s happened.
Some games are so fast that you cannot move from your PC…
Some Cocktail sausages and some Chourico sausages…. some snacks and sweet mustard….. and some young raw baby carrots….
Wholesome…. hehehe
O’Connor has now missed 2 penalties he should have gotten
@ grootblousmile:
Stop it! You’re making my mouth water!
Force more and more and more into the game, Brumbies barely hanging on!
Try James O’Connor
