Hello
Thought you’d be lurking around…. haha
3 @ The_Young_Turk:
Ciao Skurkie!
Glad i didn’t waste my time getting up early this morning. Sounds like both games were a bit of a disappointment on the spectacle front.
Everyone raving about the All Blacks performance yesterday… what else is new!
5 @ The_Young_Turk:
So, in stead you’re happy to see that I struggled through it virtually alone…
What type of friend are you?
Flok!
We all know the Black machine can be awesome… but if you poke a springbok horn in any wheel, it’s gonna break down fast! Let’s see if the Boks have the horn. Tho we are going to have to get past Oz first.
6 @ The_Young_Turk:
All Blacks were OK’ish, nothing special…. expected maybe a bit more from them
4@ grootblousmile:
Yip thats us up to watch the game, why you supporting Argentina
10 @ Bullscot:
Southern Hemisphere… like their passion… like their style of play…
@ grootblousmile:
A friend that keeps his distance from the brown stuff
Big call by coach to leave out captain Kellock, not even on bench, but with Murray missing maybe should have started with Hines instead of Hamilton. Also no Ansbro – don’t know if he is injured, why is Danielli on the bench was so good against Romania? No Cusiter either? Hope all the guys chosen instead prove me wrong.
Players coming out
Go the Argies! Sorry Bullscot but supporting the guys from the pampas.
Should be an interesting game!
Anthems…
O flower of Scotland, tra-la-la
15 @ The_Young_Turk:
Hehehe, you too…. we’ll give Bully a minority complex…. hahaha
Game ON!
We got a thing about guys in skirts, jong Gbs
Obstructive running Scotland, penalty Argies
This game is gonna be a cracker. I feel it in my water! Do or die for both teams.
Scotland wants to run everything
Penalty Scots, very kickable
Chris Paterson misses to the right
Penalty Argies, too far out
Morning everyone.
GO SCOTLAND GO.
