Damn, it does look as if WP has decided to really play!
I must say that the WP are playing very well. The Cheetahs are being outplayed.
Looks like a good start for WP! On the international front Scotland v Ireland at Murrayfield kick off delayed by 15 mins so not started yet.
Better play by the VRYSTAAT but the WP defense in good.
Penalty to the States.
Well think I will be sitting on the bottom of our bru pool this week.
Thought Cheetahs would sneak this one. Province playing well.
I’m impressed with Catrakilis…. settled in very quickly
13-3
@ Puma:
You can’t be worse than me.
In case anyone wants to know, I am drinking a Memminger Dunkel Weiss from Bavaria. The BEST beer in the world.
Anthems just done, WOW pipe band playing and stadium singing Flower of Scotland – hoendervleis stuff! Kicked off now…
OK friends, let me be on my bicycle….
Gooi Mieliesssssssss!
Loskoppie…. moer hulle kaptein!
@ grootblousmile:21 – Gbs, See RT got the permission for Jinx’s (Michael) ‘Go Bokke Go’ song for our wc song. Great, really pleased about that.
Just had to listen to it again. Put me in a good mood for our Boks game against Oz next week.
After a very good first 20 mins, this game has delivered very little.
@ grootblousmile:
Peddle safely.
@ Bullscot:25 – Damn missed the start of the game. Love the Scottish anthem.
