Sonny is something special in the way he gets that pass to someone. Credit to the AB’s who almost always have someone running off his shoulder.
My kids are literally bouncing off the walls after the Haka.
Last year in the Tri Nations when these two sides met I called my two sons to watch the haka and when it was over my youngest (then 3 years old) turned to me and asked “Daddy, are they going to eat the lellow (yellow) men??
Ever since then they’ve been hooked.
Wallabies penalty, just their own side of the middle spot…. kick to touch but not out

I hope you raise your sons to be good Bulls supporters…. that’s the right thing to do!
Wow, this looks like a blind mans slippery pig competition
30 @ Jan1bean:Shirley says ‘no’
34 @ Just For Kicks:Now THAT’S good commentary
Jeez, my tummy is still rumbling… since Tuesday…. think it must be something in the medicine, and damn these pills are giving me such a nasty after taste in the mouth the whole day… flok!
31 @ BobbejanklimdiebergStormersboySpringbokJan:
bwaaahaaaa. ‘Eat the yellow men’… 🙂 laughed out loud. That was funny.
Yip when you do the off-loads need the support runners to be right there. Wish we could do that with the Boks (eventually) sometime this season. If done right it is very hard to defend against.
@ Jan1bean:
Ciao bella
Hard to believe no score after 20 mins…
Ciao (I just can’t call you Gobble) Turky
Table tennis
Great ideas, crap handling still.
Good attacking by the Blacks…. and eventually they get another kickable penalty.
Bad little kick through by QC almost led to trouble. Great defense by the Wobblies.
All Blacks 3 / 0 Wallabies
25 Minutes gone
At last, points on the board
Robbie Deans looking like a man who is very close to being sacked, if you ask me…
Looks pale and drawn
Read is having an awesome game
3 zip after 25 whole mins. I fear the Wobblies are not going to be a walk in the park for the Boks. I am desperate for us to whitewash them this year. They have had the wood on us for the last 3 years and we have to beat them the next 5 matches in a row just to catch up…
Yellow card, oh dear
Will Genia cops a Yellow Card… professional foul
Tough loss for the Wobblies to have their best player in the bin. Now the Blacks will run riot.
All Blacks 6 / 0 Wallabies
Oh well, Genia off with a yellow. Will be easier for Abs from here.
50 @ Gobble_BokJan:Only reason the AB’s aren’t 20 points ahead, is because their handling has been so poor. Boks should murder this Aussie side if they are firing in all departments. The Aussies really don’t look like a test side at the moment.
53 @ Gobble_BokJan:
Apart from fronting up a bit better, the Wallabies are still actually looking shocking…. I think the Springboks should beat them…
56 @ Just For Kicks:
Snap
Geez, incredible defense from the Wobblies. How did the Blacks not score?
That last move by the Wobblies proves my point. 2 Aussies, 1 to beat, what do they do? chip it through, straight to final line of defence. Shocking
