Gooooooooo Wales!
About 45 minutes to kick-off…. better go share a few minutes inside the house, with Handbriekie and the Out-Laws
Just heard the crowd in France last night when they were told the match was to be postponed – they weren’t happy, to say the least!
Deon Fourie has broken his hand and will be out of the Stormers for up to 6 weeks. Tiaan Liebenberg and Skara Ntubeni on the bench will Stormers hooking duo. A couple more break downs in the front row, and we’ll be able to go into the games with uncontested scrums – that’ll even things up a bit! LOL. Maybe AC’s shrewder than we think!

Freegin hell, hookers crocked left, right and centre!
Bandise Maku for the Lions, Deon Fourie for the Stormers…
Yesterday the Cheetahs front row looked decidedly ordinary against the Bulls, but a week earlier they bossed the Stormers…. makes one really think how weak the Stormers front row really is!
Very clever way of showing the crowd who the players are
Good to see the Millennium Stadium’s roof is closed.
Roof is closed

Ciao a tutti! let’s see Wales kick some Scottish ass. Got Wales by 15…

Flower of Scotland would make a good Beer Drinking song in a Hoffbrauhaus…. hehehe
Spine tingling stuff
Welsh anthem… my favourite outside of our own

Wales look “lus” to play.
Penalty to the Scotts, too far out
