@ Puma:
I meant her flowers from the hospital room.
Scrumdown my post was for your post 112…lol
118 @ Puma:
You like the smilies….. hehehe
Argentina repeatedly offending now. When does the warning come, or does this ref want a close contest like Welsh did?
Penalty Wilkinson. Poorly missed again. Varking rubbish!!!!
England penalty and Johnny misses AGAIN!
Only 3 shots at goal successfull here in 12, so far
@ Loosehead:121 – I totally appologise. Had no idea what you meant there. Sorry about that mate.
Bloksem donner.
@ Puma:
Take it easy!!!!!!!!
Dangerous tackle on Nick Easter…
@ grootblousmile:125 – Kicking is woeful from both sides.
@ Puma:
Truth may hurt Martin Johnson!!
Bad tackle. MUST be a card.
NO CARD! Ref’s are sooooo inconsistent.
England going for touch, this time
Imagine not trusting JW to not kick goals?
Goodness what is going on here, quite surprised to tune in and see this score
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ENGLAND!
Try for Ben Youngs, under the sticks
TRY ENGLAND!!!!!!!!
Can Johnny kick it to take the lead for the 1st time?
England 10 / 9
JW actually got a kick over.
England 10/9 ahead.
13 to play.
@ grootblousmile:123 – Yeah they great. Better than the lost orange blob ones…….hehe.
@ Puma:114 – lost = last
Another England penalty… kickable again
Can he slot this one?
Strong England scrum brings a penalty.
Johnny for poles again from the “wrong side”.
None of these teams deserve to win. Heck sorry there has to be a winner. This was surely the worst rugby we have watched in a long time.
Japan would have beaten either of these sides. They played a good game today.
JW misses another.
1 point in it.
Missed!
Johnny 2 from 7…. phweeew
Misses again. My goodness! He can play for Boland with that consistency!
Come on Pumas…. get back into this game!
@ Puma:
Agreed.
