Penalty Fiji… very very kickable.
A Fijian down, lots of blood from a head wound
@ grootblousmile:
Cant find news , where did you hear Hougie is also coming back?
I only heard of FS, and why is only Zane called up. Think there is false rumours.
Bakkies is OK
Habana as far as i know had a “lammie”
JPP looked OK
Victor looked OK , a bit of match time needed
Penalty Fiji again…. they’re still attending to the blood situation on-field.
Lovobalavu bleeding profusely

I posted a tweet during that French game by a England supporter, they are worried that these French guys will play a game from outer space and all of a sudden shock the living daylights out of England.
I would dare and pick France in Superbru.
62 @ superBul:
Last night early’ish on Toks & Tjops… they had a video feed with Cobus Wiese in NZ, he said Hougie is coming home too.
Zane was also a guest on Toks & Tjops… they said he was called up to go to NZ today.
Wales impress me in this game, they show that NH teams can also run well with the ball
62@ superBul:
Read somewhere that Div said that habana needed to concerntrate on his game more and forget about things like Twitter.
Try for Wales…. Lloyd Burns
Wales 45 / 0
Penalty Fiji, they kick it out, 10m out
Just far too many Fijian knocks… amaturish at best!
Morning lads, Wales looking more ominous as the WC goes on – I think they could well be in the finals
Fiji with another penalty, Wales not 10 back… play goes on
64@ superBul:
England haven’t played at all well this WC.
Really thought they’d come with their A game!
Wales steal the ball.. hack it out to touch
72 @ Just For Kicks:
Hello!
Another usual suspect arrives…
How are things in Elgin area?

same with Canada this morning, they wasted great chances inside the AB 22
Hey guys. Gotta go. Got a meeting across town at 09h30, so better start getting ready. Enjoy the rest of the footie.
Nailago off injured for Fiji
78 @ Scrumdown:
Flok… a tee-off time is NOT a MEETING!
So Steyn out, Carter out, doubts over Hougie and Macaw. The WC is opening up a bit now
Try to Halfpenny…
Ek dink Puma het sy top geblaas, hy het gister so te velde gegaan oor Zane en FS so aangeprys, en wragtag daar doen PdeV dit en kies Puma se Favorite Hahaha.
76@ grootblousmile:cold, wet and misty!
Wales 52 / 0
No Pacific Nation has ever been kept from a single point in a World Cup match. Wales have never kept their opponents from scoring in a World Cup match
83 @ superBul:
Die Outoppie met die kak knieë slaap seker nog!
84 @ Just For Kicks:
It rained bloody hard, right through the night here in Brakkenjanpan… first rains of the season.
@ grootblousmile:
Nee hy was hier en sommer sy moer vir Peter gestrip
Penalty Wales, 5m out, center field… they choose the scrum
Try Lloyd Williams
