Good morning, here’s hoping for a big upset, hope Georgia can win and deny Argentina any bonus points, wonder what the odds are for that, unfortunately can’t watch. GO GEORGIA!!!
Hellooooooooooo
I hope Romania win… for 2 reasons…
1. They have much easier Surnames to type, as I update the scores.
2. My SuperBru will be happy

I picked Romania to win on Bru, by 7.
They should win, they are the favourites to win
Romania so far making the play…. knock, scrum Georgia.
Romanie demolishes the Georgia scrum!
Turnover
Penalty Romania, from this scrum.
The Romanian scrum is perfect, same shove, good body positions… technique good
Dumbrava misses the penalty attempt
Ciao Bigblu
Romania are fired up… good options taken, well executed, so far
Penalty Georgia, a relieving one.

I have a soft spot for the Romanians after having met some of their delightfully comely sisters and daughters working here in Italy. Very comely and friendly lasses they are

Yebo, yes!
A lot of Aussie backs are injured
“The versatility of Wallabies back-rower Radike Samo will again be put to the test against Russia in Nelson on Saturday as he is in line to play on the right wing to help cover the team’s glaring lack of back-line players”
Good maul by Georgia
