Eish while the Boksies farked up against Aussies i cut down a big Avocado tree, chopped it up and removed it to a dump site some 10 km away from town. Watched the game with little concentration, but i could see that the skill levels are miles apart. Look it was said thousands of times , skills must be taught at school level. But the Springbok trio can not add any ideas to our players, ziltz, nothing, zero.

Burton Francis misses another kick at goals. His overall play was good but his kicking below par.

@ grootblousmile:
maybe the 2 Lion supporters are with their team, or maybe it is me, or the Boks, but this is frustrating , talking to myself

29@ superBul:
At least you get intelligent conversation.

I had guests and was effectively “banned” from watching the game. Had to watch the recording of it yesterday.

I promise that my daughter and I, (the 2 Lions supporters) will “chat” with you when the Lions destroy the Leopards next week!
