Hope that Freestate can manage a draw today away from home.
Morning all, I see the princesses ‘pea’ is ready to go – he must be ‘a-breast’ of things!

@ grootblousmile:a few strong whiskies, a good daily dose of decent rugby, and you’ll be as right as rain before long – I speak with authority, I was a medic, only lost 24 men

Again England need a big win
England playing to lose, structure is the word.
@ grootblousmile:
Mix vodka with condensed milk until it has the consistency of Amarula.
@ Loosehead:I take my hat off to him – someone needs to support them, I am sure they’re really nice guys!
If I vanish for minutes at a time, please discuss the scoring in detail so that I can catch up…
Met spot gaan julle na bed… ek sal julle almal moer…. hehehe
These Romanians are built like tanks
Penalty England, on halfway
The Poms are so unused to playing running rugby that they can’t string a few passes together.
