Hey Turkey

Howzit JFK, not sure exactly how many players out but off the top of my head would guess at least 10 out of match day 22 missing, as I said backline may not be that much different but the pack should be way different and way stronger…
I wonder why we always begin a welcome “Ladies and Gentlemen….” when referring to adults, yet switch sexes when referring to children, beginning thus “Boys and Girls….”?

Hello Bullybeef…. how’s it hanging with the beefies?

Hello Gbs the England side the Bokke will face should be quite different from today’s one, definetely good deal stronger in the forwards, and Lancaster will have that bit more time to work with his players than Mr Meyer so Bokke may not win that easily.
64@ Bullscot:That back line with Catt in charge looks more like a comedy club at the moment
65 @ Just For Kicks:
That’s a profound question… hehehe
2Nd Half On!
66@ grootblousmile:
Hello bit krankerrig this side last few days but we all on the mend now, hows it going with all your side ou pel?
69@ grootblousmile:I’m full of profanities today!
71 @ Bullscot:
No problems here… Handbriekie is taking it easy in the house, BonzaiGBS has just arrived back from another weekend of “KAPperjolle”….
72 @ Just For Kicks:
Suppose you feel today like I felt yesterday…. miffed
68@ Just For Kicks:
Ok that sounds interesting don’t really know much about Catt as a coach but if he is half decent then surely it will get better with more time with his players, they probably have better options available at scrumhalf and Farrell may switch to flyhalf with Charlie to the bench and hard running Tuilagi into centre, but if the backs prove impotent then they may take Boks on up front more
Chris Ashton hatrick try
It’s the Chris Ashton show

Good afternoon, something else to watch. I will
England 29 / 7 Barbarians
73@ grootblousmile:
goodstuff man sounds like you wouldn’t want it any other way
BaaBaas penalty, kickable but of course they go for the corner
European Tour Chief Executive George O’Grady said: “Ernie Els asked to see me this morning and apologised for his intemperate language following the conclusion of his round yesterday. He stated that he had already apologised to all the individuals concerned and offered a substantial donation to The European Tour Benevolent Trust, which I accepted. The European Tour now consider this matter closed.”
74@ grootblousmile:No, not at all, strangely enough. As badly as Stormers played, they finished just 5 behind the Sharks. Amongst the SA franchises, as I said last night, I don’t have a lot of confidence, so it’s really a lottery for the top three (SA sides) I think. If we can get some of our frontline players back for the second leg, I think we have a good chance.
Try No 2 for Muliaina…
@ superBul:
Wish I could too – JFK in charge of the remote!
England 29 / 12 Barbarians
75@ Bullscot:Yeah, it’s not that bad, I was saying it tongue in cheek really, but scary to think that there are 3 SA born players in the team, and another in the coaching box
Haven’t been able to see anything of the match so far, but judging from the comments the opinion is that the Boks should beat the Poms even with only our ex, disabled and retired players.
@ Just For Kicks:
Hello JFK
You still unhappy?
