12h32 tee off time for me today.
Gonna leave early for the golf course so that i can catch the NZ game before golf starts.
Like we expected, the minnow will be up for it for a while… then I think their wheels will come off
England’s intention is to win big. and they will run away in the second half.
Can they drive over?
Poms being blown out the game at the moment.
Try time Cueto
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CUETO!
Good breakfor the try.
Cueto.
You have to earn the chance to go wide… that’s where England have it wrong at the moment.
Try Mark Cueto
England 8 / 0
THe poms need to get the ball out wide if they want to win big
While Rassie is there he may as well sign up the Romanian props.
JW misses the conversion. 8-0
Steyn still the best kicker of goals in the world.
They’re strong boys these Romanians
What happened to the Poms black strip?
@ Snoek:He’s certainly showing the way this WC so far
England strugling
Why not just throw the fukken ball to the #2 jumper?
Helter skelter stuff from the Poms
Try again for Cueto
TRY CUETO.
Ok boys, enjoy the rugby.
I’m off!
England 15 / ZIPP
JW gets the conversion……………15-0
Has there been a scrum yet?
Better Wilko
51 @ Snoek:
Cheers Stinkvis… enjoy the golf
@ Snoek:
Nothing smells quite like a snoek that is off.
Number 3 Cueto
Hat Trick for Cueto??
TMO
