@ grootblousmile:
@ The_Young_Turk:Hahaha, remember the old Scope magazine? Oh for my army days!
France penalty on Halfway… but right on the side of the pitch
France on attack now
22m Lineout for France
@ Just For Kicks:
Yes, it all seems so innocent now…. those nipple stars
127 @ Just For Kicks:
Nipple stars and all…. hehehe
Drop coming? Heaven forbid
131 @ The_Young_Turk:
Snap
France on the Ireland 22
Do you remember the Scope that came out, and said that if you put the centre spread in water, the stars would disappear? I was in Uppington – 8SAI at the time. It was the funniest sight I have ever witnessed , every basin taken, and for a good couple of hours, as the boys were so desperate for it to work. I hasten to add, it was the April issue!!!
Ireland gets a relieving penalty…
1 Min 30 seconds to go
Fark these frogs. Curse the lazy buggers!
Seconds left… France scrum
@ Just For Kicks:
Lol, those were the good ole days before Loslyf and internet porn.
136 @ Just For Kicks:
Bwahahahahaha
Horny Roofs!
Final scrum, France, last chance saloon
140 @ The_Young_Turk:
I would have made plenty of moola if I was Scope, I would have applied “scratch and smell” in the right places….
Fark and fark once again these bloody Frogs!
What a finish, well played Ireland for keeping the frogs out at the end. France, you really are useless sometimes!
Final Score: France 17 / 17 Ireland
Ireland drew because of their passion and commitment. France… the less said the better.
143@ grootblousmile:The armpits? Sies man
Do I get a margin point for being within 5 points of the score on Bru?
@ grootblousmile:
Should do!
