@ grootblousmile:
I know a very wealthy undertaker, however the hours are rubbish and he is always on call!!
Expert in embalming….Now I feel a bit queasy!
I do like the look of the Twickenham scoreboard now
@ Pietman:
See that on global bru there is now no one with a perfect record and only 1 person with 1 wrong pick! Yip Etzebeth is looking great which is wonderful for the springboks because god knows why but Langbek is really playing kuk.
91 @ Blue Bird:
I won’t be involved in the Operations side of things, well not directly… I will handle all the Finances and Contracting and provide the money for the Business.
The Partner will handle Operations… and we already have a Mortitian, Secretary and Location in mind.
Try Ben Youngs
I never expected England to destroy Ireland like they are doing now. Thought the game would be far closer. Mallet is going to have good prospects to work with.
England 27 / 9 Ireland
Have to give interim Stuart Lancaster full credit…implemented much needed change to the Eng squad
England back on attack, 10m out, playing advantage too
@ grootblousmile:
Vuilgat, daai ou, ek onthou hoe hy destyds vir Bakkies openlik bloedbek geslaan het op Rustenburg….en toe Bakkies hom gryp toe word hy (Bakkies) amper afgejaag!
Penalty England… going for posts
@ The_Young_Turk:
So how come Martin Johnson could not get them to play like this?
@ grootblousmile:
Have you got the hitmen also sorted out to make sure of the demand side of things?
England 30 / 9 Ireland
@ Blue Bird:
MJ should never have been coach so early after his retirement…
@ bos_otter:
It will make it harder for Nick Mallett to walk in!
@ The_Young_Turk:
Bwahahahahaha
Good show by Eng
@ grootblousmile:
Btw, I see you have the Cheetahs game at 7:10 SA time? Surely it should be 19:10 (or thereabouts)?
21 point walloping!
Final Score: England 30 / 9 Ireland
@ The_Young_Turk:
105 – Probably true, also I do not think there was much choice either at the time!
Gbs, site seems a little laggy….
Oh happy day
Wonder if my 6 Nations Superbru has improved now?
My super 15 has certainly improved this week!
@ Blue Bird:
Probably, but looks like the new Eng coach will be picked re his international performance ect. Stuart’s confirmed this recently, but I have to admit….he’s done well so far. Nick’s good…make no mistake, but I think the Eng public would appreciate and support a Eng coach more
Ok guys and girl. Nice chatting to you all. See you tomorrow morning early as the mighty Cheatahs fly the SA flag proudly and crush the Rebels to rubbles!
Ciao a tutti!
I would think that both Jake andNick would battle to usurp Lancaster now.
