The english rose is wilting in the scrums
Stevens kakking in the scrum
Surprised by the Scottish scrum. Thought that the Poms would have the edge there…
Stevens was looking at his own balls there… from behind his own arse!
Well done Picts
9-3 at 1/2 time
Drop Goal by Parks… over!
Scotland 9 / 3

@ Blue Bird:
No not so, i declared my support for you and the Queen
90 @ Blue Bird:
Hello!
You and SuperBul, it seems!
@ Blue Bird:
Sorry milady, it’s just you and a little lapdog.
100 @ The_Young_Turk:
SuperBul is not a little chap…. hehehe
He does resemble a Bulldog though… hahaha
@ Blue Bird:
But let me tell you this all but JL1 picked England in Superbru to win. All of them are undercover Poms.
Flok, I’ve been up for 6 bloody hours already….
@ The_Young_Turk:
Turk my friend i like the banter, what do you think of the Curriecup games later today. That little Blue team is becoming a nuisance again, thought the Bul died?
Where’s the resident Pom gone now?
Keep the pills and knives away… we might have a wrist slitting…
@ grootblousmile:Must be nearly bed time for you then!
@ grootblousmile:
Did you see the Vaseline add with Schalk Jr and Snr?
107 @ superBul:
Hehehe, nee, wie smeer vir wie?
2nd Half ON!
@ superBul:
JL1 lives here but sort of hates us still!! 😉
Ja boet, I know you’re just kidding. You’d never really back the poms.
England come out firing
@ grootblousmile:
We will hold them and gently push our way into the lead, remember the Scots always run out of steam!!
England hard on attack
Martin Johnson must have given them a verbal beating at halftime
@ superBul:
I never saw any of the CC matches but am happy the Bulls are doing well. Always felt the Bulls would sneak in in the last few games and province would fade away.
MJ has obviously thrown his toys at half time again, England looking much sharper
@ Blue Bird:113 – You are hoping hey?..hehe
Typical Northern Hemisphere rugby this, hey!

add was op met die breek, Schalk senior praat oor hoe taai Schalk was en dat die roompies hom sag gehou het of so iets , ek kyk mos nie juis met aandag nie maar Schalk het aan n mountain bike race deelgeneem en toe breek sy fiets hy tel hom toe op en draf met hom tot die einde en wen nog steeds n brons.
Go Scotland.
