Brumbies 25 / 10
@ grootblousmile:30 – Think I have Brumbie by 5. The last time I saw Brumbie play they were terrible. So took a wild guess last night putting my picks in.
Rain still coming down in bucket loads. No signal to dstv all morning. So missed the rugby. Not that these games mattered much, just would have been nice to see some rugby again.
Now hope no rain for tonight. Gonna be watching our Young Boks play. Sharky said they playing at 8pm our time.
Cipriani is soooooooooooooo shit!
@ grootblousmile:34 – Did he miss the conversion? Not getting any of the rugby.
33@ Puma:
Yeah, they are playing Scotland at 20:00 tonight.
I will put up a Game thread, IF I get back in time from Middelburg… think I will
35@ Puma:
No, he got the conversion but as a flyhalf he provides just no momentum.
As I say that the Rebels score again..
@ grootblousmile:36 – Great, thanks boeta.
They should beat the Scots.
Looking forward to watching that game.
Anyhow out of here for now. Catch up later. Gonna get some lunch.
Good to catch up.
Cheers everyone.
Afusipa Taumoepeau… sounds like a forbidden swearword!
Brumbies 25 / 17
@ grootblousmile:37 – Well they have signed him for how long? Is it 3 years, or just this year. In the papers in the UK read that he was trying to get out of his contract with the Rebels. Not sure how true that is.
What is the score now?
Will check after lunch.
Catch up later.
Now it would be good if the Brumbies get an unconverted try.
