150 @ The_Young_Turk:
I knew it was an “Ugly word”… said so much in my comments..
Penalty Wales, Priestland going for goal.
@ Just For Kicks:
I find scrums very frustrating ……
Priesland shanks it well wide
Just back from 150 people for lunch, fluck me it must be 40 degree’s in Durbanville.
@ grootblousmile:
153
but great meal
Terrible kicking by Priestland today.
Did you notice how ‘unruly’ the Scottish crowd was at Murryafield yesterday, as England went to kick the first penalty the Scots booed and shouted like hooligans!
Good respectful silence for the kickers today!
Wales must get the ball out wide left to George North, somehow…
Wales have obviously seen my Bru predictions, and want a good laugh in the pub tonight – I can’t think of any other reason for them to regressed so much in 30 minutes!
North 19 years old and 17 caps, whooow
Game any good?
156 @ Loosehead:
Hello Old Prop!
By the way, did you get that aweful Acer back?
At ythis rate, Wales will again be claiming ” we should have won”….blaming ref ect for their loss like they normally do….world beaters….I think not
@ Loosehead:You deserve a medal mate, we did 35 today, and that was enough!
Leigh Halfpenny takes over the kicking duties, and slots a reasonably difficult one.
Ireland 13 / 8 Wales
@ Loosehead:
Lot friends you were entertaining there!! 🙂
now that’s better 🙂
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WALES
Brilliant try at last from a very strong run from North
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Johnathan Davies… under the sticks!
Something for SBW to watch, what a great off load
@ Just For Kicks:
Give them time mate. I picked Wales too and here they come!!!
Wales 15 / 13 Ireland
Ireland back on attack
Penalty advantage for Ireland
Game really springing to life now!
Ireland get their penalty, this is a sitter
@ Blue Bird:
Good game now
Ireland back in the lead, but only by 1
