Go the ABs
1 @ Hurricane:
Yip like I said to on the otherside. Think Abs will be just too good for Wallabies today. My only wish here will be for no bonus points. That would help my Boks.
Normally always support your Abs when NOT playing the Boks mate, but this is a competition we all playing in right now, so have to think of my Boks here first.
Hope to see a great game.
Can’t see the Wobblies taking this one but think they will put in a decent performance. They will be missing Pocock sorely but they have Cooper back so it depends on how he does. Blacks to win but performance of Quade to determine the margin.
Hellooooooooooo Rugby-Talkers!
@ Gobble_BokJan:
They don’t have Pocock but still have Hooper, also a very good player.
Abs will be just too good for Wallabies, especially on their home turf.
Teams already out on the pitch… minute’s silence for some who died in the war…

Hello sensitive Sharks Oompie!
3 @ Gobble_BokJan:
Hello Gobbles!
Morning all. looking forward to a day of unadulterated rugby, spoilt only by the gaps in between the matches.
Wobblies in for another hiding, I fear, Gobble-gobble, did you change your prediction this week, or are you going to carry that weak and feeble argument forward from last week?

Hello Winemaker, Beer drinker….
Kapa O Panga….
Haka done….
All Blacks should take this one comfortably
Game ON!
@ grootblouBokJan:
Ciao sensitive Morne daddy 😉
@ Just For Kicks:
Ciao Kickers. No, the Blacks taught me the error of my ways 😉
Penalty from the 1st scrum to the Wallabies
Mooooorning! commentary better be good – no TV
Wallabies making a positive ham-fisted go of it so far, but really haven’t looked like they’re going anywhere this morning!
Penalty All Blacks and a clear chance at goal… Adam Ashley-Cooper holding onto the ball on the ground
Carter misses to the right
@ Jan1bean:The joy that we see in front of our eyes, is just not possible to put into words. Too bad. Are there no dishes to wash?
môre moermengsels!
Dagg, a bit selfish there
Dagg nearly in at the left corner…. just kept out and he loses the ball
23 @ jan_vaaljan_die_springboksupporter_jan_uhm_jan!:
More, MalJan
NZ handling started off where they left it last week, letting them down a bit
All Blacks with all the pressure…. but the Wallabies steal an All Blacks lineout
@ Just For Kicks:….all other departments looking dangerous – apart from Carters kick, of course
22 @ Just For Kicks:get out of bed!!!!!!
