I was actually considering buying a Bakkie in addition to the Blik Met Wiele… just as an extra run-around. Will also be useful in the Funeral Business….
Mallet wasn’t happy with his new charges performance in that 1st half!
61@ grootblousmile:Ja, ja, ja, Shove those cadavers in
2 Nd Half ON!
@ Blue Bird:Should read – love them.
That ball more slippery than a greased pig – either that or these two teams can’t play rugby

Whoever said that the new rules are emasculating the scrums?
77 @ The_Young_Turk:

19 Minutes to go
Hahah a laugh a minute, just back and read that GBS is getting a bakkie for putting coffins in!!
GBS tell me you are joking?
I feel a bit weird now!

Yip, possibly, probably actually, getting involved in a Funeral Parlour Business as well… there’s money in dying!
England 22 / 9 Ireland
Eng youngsters going to get better and better…good result for the interm Lancaster. Just goes to show how wrong MJ had it.
Eng scramble def not bad
@ The_Young_Turk:
Howzit bru! Still a long way to go, and not much difference between the top 10 bloggers, comp still wide open.
I messed up up badly with both the Stormers and the Forcers, though….
Those Stormers youngsters were very impressive up front, a bunch of Springboks in the making there. I just adored the way young Etzebeth took on that experienced All Black ‘meanie’ Ali Whats-his-name-again!
87 @ Pietman:
Comical Ali….
Ali Williams, that is!
Hy’t sy Ali gesien, met Etsebeth se spieëltjie…
Tommy Bowe such a stand-out player
