@ superBul:
I was astonished how pro Diana so many Saffas were, I had quite an argument with Grant10’s blonde about Princess Di!! lol
What IS happening to our side in Pakistan? It is a bit drastic…….!!
Penalty to England..
Nice run from the fullback
England penalty, midfield and about 5m in the Scottish half
@ grootblousmile:
So far it is nice being in third place on superBru!! lol
Arghhhhhhh …. wide kick
Farrell misses, well right
Everyone made their margin picks on Superbru, guess wat will the final score be here.
I bet it would be something like 6-3, 9-6 maybe 12-9 , i will be surprised if we see more than 1 try.
My personal pick would be 9-6 for England
Quite a few very bad kicks by the Scots… right down the Bleekbeen throats
34 @ Blue Bird:
Well, good for you… I was 10 points too big for France.

I did not watch a single ball yet but i see the results and scores regularly on cricinfo. I can only say i am astonished, what the heck went wrong. Only the Indian implosion is worse.
Scotland struggling in the scrums, this time too, yet they get a penalty from the scrum.
Too far out, have to kick for touch
Free kick to England, from another scrum… early engage by the Scotts
England get a very easy penalty… after some serious fumbling by the Scotts
Owen Farrell going for goal… over
England 3 / 0 Scotland
@ grootblousmile:
Well Scotland always win at Murrayfield….
Penalty kick OVER Farrell for England…Yeyyy
England rushing up hard on defence, forcing the Scotts to panic and make mistakes
@ superBul:
WRS is bemused by our cricket disasters…..
Scotland waking up a bit now they are near the line!
Scotland gets the easiest of penalties
Parks, parks it over the crossbar
England 3 / 3 Scotland
Why oh why is Parks kicking downfield, to the middle of the pitch, time and time again?
Parks, such a pedestrian flyhalf on attack too…
Another kickable penalty for Scotland
Scotland 6 / 3 England
England looking terible
England penalty on the Scottish scrum… they were under immense pressure.
England’s scrums seem to be going OK…
A pre half time try for England would be great right now!
The Scots did used to run out of puff in the second half, wonder how the younger legs will fare today?
Lemoenetyd
Scotts did ALL the attacking in the last 20 minutes
Bliksem donner, Mouritz Botha is crap. He must be ex WP or they are about to sign him. One of the two.
Does’nt it just feel so natural to get our rugby back on TV and getting all excited and involved?
54@ Loosehead:
Oh, I see that he is ex Vryheid, so he must be from the Sharks and on his way to the WP.
55@ grootblousmile:
Die Kaap is weer Hollands!
@ Loosehead:
Joe Pieterson is also from Vryheid if i’m not mistaken.
58@ Snoek:
And back at the WP.
57 @ Loosehead:
Yip… jeeeez, we had to live off scraps for long, jong!
