I expected both these teams to play with a lot more passion considering the history between the two but it seems that there is not much spark in this match.
Brian Moore does not do it for me either!
Missed Puma again…

How daft were England there, if Sexton sinks this the management will be spitting

Crumpet anyone?
OK, time to run to call nature quickly….
@ grootblousmile:
How are you enjoying the Bluebulls style Bakkie that Handbriekke bought for you after you smashed your BMW up?
Did you keep the bull bars and the horns on the roof?
@ Blue Bird:
Grazie, bella!
@ grootblousmile:
If you want a crumpet you had better wash your hands!!
@ Just For Kicks:
Do you like crumpet??
@ Blue Bird:He would never have a bakkie, surely, it would never go with his manbag
54 @ Blue Bird:
Huh??
56 @ Blue Bird:

@ Blue Bird:Love it – both types!!!!
