@ grootblousmile:
Johnson’s face will always look like an arse irrespective of what happens. Ja, can’t see Scotland qualifying. They would have to deny England a bonus point and score 4 tries. Just don’t see that happening.
149 @ Bullscot:
Argies should get the bonus point win against Georgia…. although, only 3 days turn-around, which is hectic.
139@ grootblousmile:
Thanks ou pel, if it is this disapointing for the fans you can just imagine what the players will be feeling now, try to put a brave face on it but in all honesty think this is Scotland out of the Cup.
@ grootblousmile:
Geez, only 3 days! But they should still be able to klap Geogia stukkend!
I mean Georgia!
152@ grootblousmile:
Not so sure Argentina will get the bonus point against Georgia but while Scotland may beat England can’t see getting a bonus point in that and at the moment Argentina have a much better points difference, so only hope is for Argentina not to beat Georgia which would be a big upset. Oh well cheers vir eers.
@ Bullscot:149 – Scotland should have won that game. I feel for them buddy. Really wanted them to win it.
Like some of us mentioned on keo the ref will play a big part in this world cup. They need to be smarter than that. This is the very ref that I was talking about to some on keo last night. He also never reffed Boks well against Wales. Particularly at the breakdowns. Also let a forward pass go to lead to a Wales try. Penalised Hougaard for nothing it should have been a penalty against Wales there.
So yeah, refs are gonna cost some teams big time. This very ref cost the ABs the last wc.
153 @ Bullscot:
The Odds are seriously stacked against the Scots now….. seriously
But hey, it’s a funny game…. it can still happen….
Maybe…
Unlikely…
Okay I am out of here. Need to go and see my old mom. She is not well again.
Cheers all. Catch up later.
GO BOKKE GO. Can’t wait for our game against Samoa.
Also keeping fingers crossed that Bakkies can get over that injury. He has until to day to see if that injury is still worrying him. We need him but need him fit. Otherwise we will need to send for Mostert or Flip but think Mostert is a better choice. But Bakkies is the best out of them all. So just hope Bakkies passes the fittness test.
Cheers now out of here.
Well for pride, Scotland should moer England even if they won’t qualify. The reason is not important. Just moer England!
Fark, I’ve been up since 04:00
It’s nearly 8 hours already….. think I should have a nap again….
@ grootblousmile:161 – Then you deserve a nap……..hahaha.
Cheers gbs.
Catch up later or tomorrow.
@ grootblousmile:
have a nice nap and dream about England being moered over and over again!
28 RWC Matches already done and dusted.
Tomorrow Wales and Namibia play. It will be Namibia’s 4th match and Wales’ 3rd match whilst some other teams have only played 2 matches already (Canada, Georgia, Italy).
So, Namibia will be the FIRST side to have completed their 4 Pool Games, and the FIRST side to pack their bags for home…. whilst some teams have not played more than 2 games.
That sucks… bad planning!
