Jerretjie-pik-my for me!
@ grootblousmile:
The spacing did not quite translate..
G O
E N G L A N D !!! Hehehehheh
144@ Blue Bird:Hope you’ve got a better crowd there than here, it’s dismal. After the Bulls sellout last night, I thought we’d do better than this!
Steve Walsh the ref is quite hot actually!!
My Bru pick for this one is Stormers by 11
@ Just For Kicks:
Twickenham is packed to the gunnels.it is the hottest ticket in town.
They said the atmosphere in the stadium is buzzing….
Rugby with a small or quiet crowd is just not the same!
Close….almost a try from the Welsh
The Welsh come out attacking…
2Nd Half ON!
@ bos_otter:
‘OO Ello’
Can I leave you to do the commentary? 🙂
First penalty of the second half goes Stormers way
Twickers packed….what a sight….awesome atmosphere
@ Blue Bird:
hi Blue Bird….no, please go ahead…sorry, but will not be able to watch all the time 🙂
Raining now in Doornfontein.
Was expecting lots from a Lions side with most of their COMBINATIONS from last year still intact.
If it pisses though anything could happen.
Noticed in most of the games thus far that the new combo’s for all teams have really battled.
@ Blue Bird:
just really exited over this game…I know Eng is the underdogs, but would love them to win. It would mean a lot for them and Eng rugby
Penalty Stormers.
Habana tripped… Canes No 9
Canes getting another warning… and the referee refers a WHITE CARD.
First one of the Competition.
Penalty Stormers, thats the second deliberate bit of foul play this half. And the first white of the day to boot
Joe Pietersen misses to the right.
Try Barrett
Try Beauden Barrett… intercept.
Andries Langbek standing out on the wing in stead of at centre… eishhhhhh
@ bos_otter:
If England are going to go anywhere they really need a good game today!!
The Welsh are far quicker off the mark this week!
The first half of the Wales Scotland game was really rather tedious!! lol
Stormers 23 / 23 Canes
All locked up.. evens stevens
Stormers imploding as we expected….
GvA off and Francis on.
Kitshoff with a storming run
Phweeeew!
Burton Francis is on… Langbek getting plenty of ball on the right wing…. Kitskos nearly through
@ grootblousmile:
Langbek! hehehe! Ek onthou nog hoe de moer in die mense destyds vir ons was op Voldy oor daai naam.
Some Cheetahs players warming up with orange socks and orange boots. Looks like they’re wearing orange gumboots from up here.
Think I should rather watch Wales giving the English a good caning!
177 @ Pietman:
Ja jong, ons het die mense se moerrre goed vir hulle gekoer daar!
