Hello Oerwoudkat

Any news on the Aussie that went off on a strecther yesterday?
Try time
Hie kommie moeilikheid, NZ midfield too strong.
All Blacks 5 / 0
@ Puma:
Howzit Puma, long time no speak.
Carter misses. Think Morne must be the only kicker that has not missed a kick in this world cup. Interesting that.
My Bru pick for this one was All Blacks by 25
Had to make and eat breakfast with handbriekie.
How the hell was Jane not red carded?
@ Pietman:45 – Howzit Piet,
How you doing boet? You back in Saudi? If so are you getting any of the world cup?
46 @ Puma:
Morné missed ONE in the Wales game
3 Charge-downs in a row from France kicks
@ Loosehead:
Yip, deliberate interference in the air, should have been a penalty try.
Relieving penalty for France
@ grootblousmile:39 – Howzit boeta.
Think ABs will be to strong for the French today. Have you heard anything about the Aussie player that went off injured yesterday? Looked serious but might now be.
Think it was their outside centre.
@ Puma:84 – sorry typo
now be = not be
All Blacks steal a France breakdown ball
52@ Pietman:

Beautiful pass
@ Puma:
