Wales 24 / 0
29@ grootblousmile:
The only way to get intelligent conversation?
Barnes missing a bit in the match… but dammit, the NZ Commentators are freegin irritating assholes
Everyone all Rugbied out.
At least the one sided affairs should stop now, although with the form of the top sides, barring NZ, I can see this WC turning into a bit of a damp squib!!!
34 @ Scrumdown:
Often enough, yes!
Come on, talk with me… it gets tedious and lonely…. hehehe
Penalty Wales… and there’s a Fijian down
35@ grootblousmile:
Assholes are usefull!!!!
Try Sam Warberton
Wales 31 / 0
What I’ve seen of the Island teams, it seems to me that Fiji have progressed the least of them all. They haven’t impressed me at all.
Lemoenetyd
Wales have the 4-try bonus point in the bag
42 @ Scrumdown:
I agree, they’ve been woeful against the Springboks and now against Wales
I wonder if SuperBees has gone back to bed… he was up early
44@ grootblousmile:
They’re actually flattering Wales. I’m still not sure whether this Wales team have the ability to go further than the quarters, but given the displays by England, France, Australia, Ireland and SA against any decent opposition anything’s possible.
I just hope the AB’s don’t have a walkover. Someone needs to put pressure on them.
45@ grootblousmile:
Maybe just resting the weary eyes for a few minutes!
2nd Half ON
It looks like the 3 Big ones… All Blacks, Springboks & Wallabies… are all a bit injury ravaged.
Might just open the door a bit for the Northern Hemisphere countries!
Wales back in attack mode
Fiji get a relieving penalty, right on their own 5m line
@ grootblousmile:
45
back here had to fix my chair, fark sitting here on a broken chair talking to myself ….i must be insane.
Now i am ready for the last 3 hours
Of all the Pacific Island Nations, it certainly looks like the Fijians have the most athletic build…. but they do such stupid stuff at times!
Must be all the human meat their ancestors had for dinner….. hehehe
Lets talk a bit about stuff we observed.
Point 1
I am glad that monster scrum of Scotland is eliminated
52 @ superBul:
Meneer Bees, welkom terug!
54 @ superBul:
What exactly is the latest news regarding the Bokke injuries?
Bakkies?
JP Pietersen?
Bryan Habana?
Hougie – Going home?
Frans Steyn – Going home?
Who else?
Point 2
Fillipe Contepomi cant kick, his succes rate went up a bit after a very poor start today,then he went off injured, ribs. He kicked 9 out 25 or 26 in the RWC.
Try for Jamie Roberts again
54@ superBul:
The French haven’t arrived yet. I’m not sure they are a happy bunch of campers. Livremont is a bit of a box and has maybe p1ssed his players off with his public critisisms.
Wales 38 / 0
