I think this will be the third time in WC history that we ende up with a draw (no extra time)
Would have loved to watch this game. Luckily there are such things as a PVR.
How was the game GBS?
Maybe Puma(5) and pappie(3) will get half a bonus point in Superbru.
Will put up the Congrats if it is confirmed

I read a article think it was that Rob Howing oke at sport24 that said the irb is doing something right as the rugby world cup is getting better each time it’s hosted and the soccer wc / olympics is getting worse.
@ Weti:
They come in for a lot of flack for the way they treat the minnows. Their scheduling was not fair to smaller nations.
71 @ Weti:
Yip, I have to agree.
