163@ grootblousmile:No Boss, Acer has their piece of shit back.
165@ Just For Kicks: I must have drank 10L of water, now 2 Oceans Sauv Blanc with lots of ice.
167@ Blue Bird: They are “paying friends”.
Folks you don’t understand the heat here at the moment.
@ superBul:
It is so nice when you guys enjoy a NH game. I sort of feel a bit defensive when the Saffas slag our rugby off all the time!
Game, all of a sudden, very exciting again
This game could still go either way… it’s as tough as I expected it to be
183 @ Blue Bird:
The Six Nations is always a good competition.
It is the rest we scoff about
182@ Loosehead:If it’s anything like us, you still sweat in your pool, its got so warm!
What happened there

very intense, no inch given, sometimes i feel they know each other too well, why do the ABs run them so easy over?
Yellow, for the Taffy.
Ooopsie, Bradley Davies gets a Yellow… Wales will play with 14.
Tip tackle of note
That should have been a red card
That should be a straight red – he has tipped Ryan and lets him go…Davies is a very very lucky man
New referral rules would have come into action there, if available!
Ireland lineout reigning supreme again as they steal a vital Wales ball
Oh well, that’s it then for Wales. Don’t see them winning with only 14 men.
Ireland 1m out…
187@ Just For Kicks: Shocking heat.
Conor Murray is much faster
Ireland looking like a score here, a meter out, and in, well worked try
Try Tommy Bowe… had to come
Ireland 21 / 15 Wales
Sexton missing the vital conversion from touch
Pulled that kick
10 minutes to play, the gap is 6
Irelands kicking out of hand better than Wales by a country mile
Come on Wales, man!
Ireland gets a penalty, centre field, 52 m out
Ireland to take it beyond a converted try
Sexton with the attempt…. distance was OK, but to the right
….. but not this time
