@ Scrumdown:
I am Percy’s biggest fan….however he is not a natural infront of a microphone!! 😆
I have not seen him for ages…..not even carrying the water bottles!
Oh there was a glimpse of him in the Bok changing room at half time.
Very stop/start frustrating game so far
@ Loosehead:
Lots of missed kicks…
@ Just For Kicks:
Where are you from Just For Kicks?
@ Blue Bird:He was carrying a water bottle in his interview – it was the only thing that stood out!
The Irish are making a game of this, but the Wallabies are not exactly playing to their strengths.
@ Blue Bird:
will send the link again, that is one of South Africas best lodges, Also very expensive, Londolozi is a great benchmark for game lodges.
@ Blue Bird:Elgin, Western Cape
Genia driven back 5m by the Oirish forwards… picked up and literally carried
Genia gets well and truly monstered.
So moet ‘n Aussie kak.
@ Just For Kicks:
The first time Percy replied to me on his Facebook page I nearly fell over!!
He does not really have a way with words!!
However I still retain a soft spot for him!!
