OK, shuffle up
Players out on the pitch.
Rebels have lost 10 in a row already… this should be No 11
Game ON!
@ grootblousmile:Soooo, you’re a clean, well groomed pink panty lover on your way to watch rugby. I’ll look out for you on the big screen – you should be easy to spot!!!!!
Reds immediately threatening…. Rebels pilfer the ball.
Cipriani’s kick charged… Beale eventually gets it out.
4 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, easy… I’ll be the one in the Bulls shirt in the Press Box… well BonzaiGBS will also have his Bulls shirt on… PLUS 40 000 supporters on the stands….
I could hear sheep in the background, thought it was the crowd at this all Aussie affair, but it was only my kids playing Minecraft behind me – a few sheep in the crowd wouldn’t have been out of place though!
Rebels scrum, on their 10m line
My Bru pick for this one is Reds by 28… you think I was too conservative?
By form. Reds should walk this by a country mile, but, form has gone right out of the window the last couple of weeks.
The Rubbles trying the direct route… not a bad idea against the Reds.
Knock, Reds scrum
9 @ GBS,
Think you are being a bit rash! Think it’s going to be a tad closer. But heck, looking at my bru, I am willing to cede to your slightly better judgement lol.
Worjked off most of my frustrations in the garden lol
@ grootblousmile:Did you see Pumas comment about problems posting?
Mine was by 18
13 @ Just For Kicks:
Did… the man needs to change his PC… or the paraffine which drives it….
Ciao a tutti! I see you Kickers, stop peeping up my skirt you pervy wanker!
Watch out, we have an Old Fruit in the house…
@ The_Young_Turk:Well climd down off that ladder, and give me a chance!!!
James O’Connor going for posts… and slots the penalty.
Rebels 3 / 0 Reds
You and that metrosexual, smiles. I know what you guys are up to
Free Kick Rebels, at a scrum
Penalty Reds, 45m out
Mike Harris is 24 from 24… can he make it 25 from 25
Rebels have come out with rugby in mind, but then concede a penalty
Missed…. and he has to start over… hahaha
Penalty Rebels, too far out.
Gerrard with a good touchfinder.
Damn, went for the Reds by 26! Looks like the only one who’s going to be red in the face is me after this match. This competition is turning out to be a total lottery this year!
@ The_Young_Turk:My partner in my business calls himself a metrosexual, he has an earring, bellybutton ring, a large, weird tattoo on his shoulder blade and carries a ‘man bag’ around the place with him (all absolutely true – He is also a lawyer, so watch what you say about smiles, it may be true, and then I would have to leave this site!!!!! Hahaha
Mike Harris has been a good stand-in for Surfer Dude
Not one pick for the rebels – if they win then I’m definitely filing for match fixing!
