Relieving penalty for England
Eaaasy penalty for Priesland, right in front

Trading penalties now, this time to Englad… although kickable, they go for touch
England have a lineout in ales 22… they maul from the lineout
England almost over the line, Matt Banahan… knocks it though, 5m scrum for Wales
England get a penalty, 5m out, they opt for the scrum
They earn another penalty at the scrum…. England scrum looking good
… and yet another…..
Penalty try territory now, I think
Wales steals the ball when England tries to go wide…. and kick far ahead… all England can do is kick out
England get a penalty on about halfway and Flood kicks for touch… lineout deep in Wales 22
Wales contesting well at the breakdown, steals anothr ball and get a penalty, a relieving one

6 / 6
Wales get another relieving penalty at the breakdown
England holds a Wales maul up… and get the scrum…. taken in…
England close in on No. 1 ranking, congrats to all England fans. India fell apart the moment Gary Kirsten left. Sadly Sachin stayed on too long. He needs one more test 100 to be the first player to reach 50 test tons.
India 224 & 235/9 (53.3 ov)
England 710/7d
India trail by 251 runs with 1 wicket remaining
Scrum penalty for England…. I’ve lost count of the penalties, and we’re only 27 minutes into the game
Forward pass by the England backs, scrum Wales… but they are struggling big time in the scrums
Wales lineout, 5m from their own line
Since we are all alone here GBS, what do you think of this headline on Sport 24
WP ‘revival’ losing steam?

For all their talk of sound youth structures and so on, do WP really have the firepower to return major silverware to Newlands?
They get their ball, scrappily and Priestland kicks it out
England penalty, easy kick to goal.
They go for touch though…. now 3m out…. attacking hard
Knock, Wales scrum, 5m out, just in front of their posts… free kick Wales
All right England is number 1 in Test cricket. Cant wait for the SA vs England series later on this year. Allan Donald our new bowling coach already warned us that England are the best bowling side, so far India could not reach 300 runs in any test against England.
India 224 & 244 (55.3 ov)
England 710/7d
England won by an innings and 242 runs
England win by an innings and 242 runs and lead series 3-0
@ superBul:
WP are close, but there is something lacking. I think some of the other teams are weaker than years before rather than WP stronger. They are ot lacking the passion though, and i appreciate the fact that they support their team so well at newlands.
OK now i will watch a bit of Rugby , where are we now? Still 6-6 eish
21@ superBul:
Sorry man, dinge gaan bietjie vinnig hier….
Ja, mens kan seker so sê… maar mens kan presies dieselfde van die Bulle nou sê. Ons Bulle lyk maar bra kakkerig!
