My word, this is hideous rugby, lets hope this is the England team that come to SA, it will be a great way for HM to ease his way into his new position. Hell, the Boks should walk all over the Poms, even with FdP in, and as Captain!
Try time, defence were on the beach in Cannes, I think
England can’t complain about the amount of possession they have…
Try Chris Ashton
England 10 / 0 Barbarians
Drinks break, due to the heat factor…. what freegin heat factor… soft cocks!
When will the party booze work out of the BaaBaas systems?
Hahaha
England defensive penalty… and a good touch
Massive tackle on Farrell… freight train… hehe
England penalty at the breakdown, BaaBaa offside, in on the side
Neewat, this England side will get thumped if they don’t improve.
A well-drilled side which is accurate with the basics will have a field day against these Poms.
The problem is the time for preparation factor, for the Bokke
I see the Pro12 Final is not shown on TV here in SA
Golden chance for England goes a begging.
Finishing is not what it should be
Penalty BaaBaas, just their own side of Halfway
Tryyyyyyyyy Muliaina!
Whoop, whoop!
England 10 / 7 Barbarians
England penalty, kickable but they kick it into the corner
Easy try that
Try England, a lineout drive, Dylan Hartley
England 15 / 7 Barbarians
2nd Try to Ashton.. all too easy
England 22 / 7 Barbarians
Poms raining tries now
Lemoenetyd
I hate it when England do well

Hello Beanie… got over the Stormers loss OK?
@ grootblousmile:
just about GBS. Been hard at work all day, so haven’t had much time to dwell on it – glad they rested their best players yesterday though so we can really thrash the pink bulls next week!
