Drop attempt by Butch James… missed
Bokke playing exactly in the right half of the field
Must be honest, I thought the Bokke would be way more rusty
Free kick to the Bokke… Fourie du Preez’ kick is charged down….

This is a service message to Capetonians living in the Northern suburbs. Do not buy [or let your wife buy] biltong or dried sausage from Boesmanland Biltong. It is kak.
@ Scrumdown: VRYSTAAT?
Penalty Aussies… James O’Connor goes for goal
BRILLIANT break by Habana.
@ Loosehead:
Yes.
Wallabies heavily on attack…
Lemoenetyd
Spies tackled someone.
31/32 now to FS U21’s. 19 mins to play.
@ Scrumdown:
Good man!
Ons moes die 6 punte vir strafskoppe gevat het, en ten minste een drie al gedruk het, die hande laat ons in die steek. Dink die Aussies is meer as gelukkig met die halftyd telling.
@ Loosehead:
Is that from a butchery in Kenhardt originally? Bought some there last year on my way from Aughrabies, think it’s called Boesmanland….
Hell, Bokke should have been further ahead here.
@ ben_die_bul:
Beslis.
Has the ‘coaching’ staff taught Habana how not to catch a ball?
I thought the Wallabies looked very disjointed and rusty in their play in the first half. Expecting more rhythm in the second. The penalty count is a blow out at 7 to 2. More discipline required from the Wallabies.
@ Pietman:
No, it is a franchise, just biltong and wors.
I couldn’t get to Piet se Namibian Slaghuis en Biltong this morning.
2nd Half ON!
U21’s. 5 mins left, lions lead 36/32
James O’Connor slots an easy penalty for the Wallabies.
Beast penalised at the scrum
Bokke 6 / 3
Bliksem Donner it is cold in Cape Town.
Nie goeie begin vir 2de helfte, maak dom foute, die ervare spelers.
