@ Scrumdown:179 – Cheers Scrumdown. Sorry about England. Know you were born there, but they never played well at all today mate.

165@ Puma:
Yip Scotland is in group started and finished well against Romania but went to sleep for big part of 2nd half will have to improve on that especially un the forwards, feel for next games we must get Strokosh back missed his physicality.
@ Loosehead:183 – AND Sharksssssssssssssssssss game later. Yes, some good rugby to watch later.
@ Bullscot:185 – I never saw the Scotland game. Also forgot to set my pvr. So have missed it. They now top their pool…hehe. Lekker. The English won’t like that much…..hehe.
I am coming over again next year. Still not sure which month. May/August or September. One of those months.
Okay I am off. Catch up later for the Sharks game.
Go Sharks.
187@ Puma:
Maybe you can catch highlights of the game Puma we scored some nice tries and Romania came back quite strong for big part of 2nd half. That sounds great sure you will enjoy another visit over here, sorry we haven’t really had chance to catch up on your last visit must be a distant memory for you by now. If you’d like I have a wee souvenier here for you to remind you of Loch Lomond, let me know how to get it there for you.
Now I must quickly schedule the Game Threads for the 2 Televised Currie Cup Matches this afternoon… and the 3 Game Threads for tomorrow morning’s games…
Talk a bit later.
Also want to do a mass mailer to all registered bloggers to come join in the fun.
