60@ grootblousmile:I take back anything I’ve ever said regarding BB supporters for future reference!!!!
Ireland just not settled yet, silly mistakes
Wales look squarely in control
@ superBul:
If I can’t ride the bike normally I will run, but you know today the snow has really put me off. I have been a domestic goddess instead and am now enjoying the rugby!!
Not long till the Argus now and I hear it is 35 degrees in Cape Town today…..Arghhhhhhhh that will kill me!

Hahahahaha
@ Just For Kicks:
We Blue Bulls supporters come from the most unlikely places!! lol
Penalty Wales, Rhys Priestland going for goal… easy one, MISSED!
Priestland hits the post again, he looks like Ronan O’Garas younger brother!
Brilliant chase by Kearney on a kick… and he takes it spectacularly… that was excellent
Much better Ireland, but it ends in a penalty, Wales. Wasted effort
This is a good match, so far!
72@ Blue Bird:Dark sombre cold places, I know, I left before I too fell to the sickness!
O’Connel steals a Wales lineout
What a kick
Blue Bird wrote:
for sure from -5 to +35 , you will feel it for sure
Wales have an attacking lineout, about 18 m out
Wales really putting in the hard yards here, and it’s paying off
Fark, Ireland steals the lineout again
As I say that, they lose their second line out ball
Eishhhh a kick too deep from Priestland, scrum Ireland 7m outside their 22
We are in the middle of our mango season, i just had the most tasteful mango off the year, wish i could mail you all a box.
@ Blue Bird:Yup, weather oppressive here at the moment, and there’s no sign of it moving off at the moment either!
@ Just For Kicks:
When I started blogging the Stormers fans thought I should be a Stormer, The Sharks thought being ‘Blonde’ I should be a Sharks fan (!!) and even Ed the Liona and K9 put a good case in for The Lions (But frankly at that time the Lions were worse than useless)!!
So that left The Bulls and I liked Victor and Bakkies robust approach so I went for The Bulls!
Oh besides Juan Smith The Cheetahs really did not feature! lol
70 @ Blue Bird:
Felt like 65 Degrees on my roof this afternoon… was busy sealing the damn thing again.
Had to go jump in the pool a few times just to cool down, then go on with the work.
