Hello bruvvas!
Se my, is Bulle nou uit die CC?
Verder, ons sal ons storie moet ken teen hierdie Iere hoor, hulle is woes.

Hello
It is all Ireland, my pick was a cheap shot hoping to catch up in Sbru. I kept staying 6 behind and hoped to gain some here. I am now down to a also ran in games, even lotto i cant get 2 numbers most of the times, for a long time i never made 3 numbers. Maybe i must just start working for my millions.
Tata no chance
102 @ Pietman:
Ons gaan teen Ozzie speel in die Quarters
blou masjien en die prof(rugbyprof) is nou korrek met hul picks, nog 3 punte en GBS cash in
18 Minutes to go
Handbags
Free Kick to Italy, they choose to scrum
@ Pietman:
Bulle leef nog Pietman. O soory hellou
Bullehet Griekwas en Luiperde om te speel. Die ander moet nog moeilike games teen mekaar speel. So as ons ons kant bring en 5 punter kry sal die res hulself uitsort
The only way Italy can win here is if the Italian Mafia takes out half the Irish side
Penlty Italy, lineout 5m out
Weet die refs waaroor blaas hulle in die skrums, soms lyk dit of dit een vir jou een vir my is
Ireland steal the Italian lineout, and run the ball from their line
Pietman lewer hulle posts af daar by jou met kamele? jy antwoord moer stadig of antwoord jy maar net nie.
Ireland penalty… very kickable… slot it boys… I want Bru points!
Ireland 29 / 6
@ grootblousmile:
daar in die woeste tuin gaan dit slegter as daar in Brakenjanpan met Helkom. Sien jy die man se probleem, wees bly jy het nie so koneksie nie, daai sand in jou PCs sal jou “ruin”
