Two day event with great bands.
I’ve got a gig as drummer for Wayne Pauli on the Friday night. Working my gat off to nail ‘Fire’ (Hendrix)..
Tuff call for a stand-in but I’m enjoying the challenge.
Penalty Wallas… Harris slots it
France 3 / 3 Wallabies
Naand sê.
Geluk aan die Bokke met die slegte wen.
Hele span was maar gemiddeld, ons soek nog ‘n generaal wat die hele span kan laat click.
Kan nie vir Alberts en Vermeulen in die lostrio hê nie, te stadig. Marcel of Arno inbring, Alberts as impakspeler soos Daniesourus op sy dae.
Vraag is nou of HM gaan eksperimenteer teen William Wallace se kleinkinders, en of hy veilig gaan speel ?
Bring vir JDJ in en probeer Taute op heelagter.
Lambie het nie goed gelyk nie, want sy voorspelers en die res van die span was nie goed nie, so gee hom nog ‘n kans (en onthou dieselfde verskoning geld vir hoekom Morne ook nie so goed speel nie, en vir elke ander losskakel in die wereld, as jou voorries nie vorentoe gaan nie, gaan jy ook sleg speel, al is jy Dan Carter).
My groot bekommernis met Lambie is wel dat sy lynskoppe en selfs pale toe skop nie baie afstand kry nie, dieselfde probleem as Jantjies. Huidiglik is albei akkurater as Morne, maar hul kan nie ver skop nie, dit is jammer. Goosen, Frans Steyn en Morne is ons verste skoppers, maar laasgenoemde twee is hierdie jaar nie te akkuraat nie, maar onthou, Frans se skoppe is altyd 50 meter of verder.
So, ons moet vir Lambie se skoonpa (Puma) vra om hom meer pap te voer ! 😉
31 @ fender:
Hello Drummer boy!
Try France??
Try Picamoles… try given
France 10 / 3 Wallabies
34 @ grootblousmile: you can’t call Obelix little drummer boy.
38 @ Loosehead:
Obelix, or Cacofonix?
Cacofonics is the shitty musician…. hehehe
Should I pour another dop before going to bed?
@ Just For Kicks:
Hiya, JFK. Regarding your response on my backline being Shyte remark on the boks vs Ireland match.
Agree the poor forward play did allow the backline todo anything in the first half. However it is concerning that we show no variety or innovation in the backline. We were beter than in most previous matches in the second half. We got over the advantage line and played flat on the line. There was reasonable speed and I thought Lambie had a steady enough game considering how piss poor our momentum at the colisions were.
However it seems that the backline coaching is non existent. Ireland ran a lot beter with he all than us. In comparison with AB and Wallabies our backline play is horrible.
Penalty Wallabies, after sustained attack by them… easy shot at goal
39 @ grootblousmile: Iheard him play a few years ago, and although boere blues is not my music, he can strum a guitar.
Fender could play tighthead for the WP though
France 10 / 6 Wallabies
43 @ Loosehead:
I know, I know… I have some of his music… he is bloody good, for sure!
@ bdb:
Maklik sit Frans Steyn op 12 langs Lambie om die lang skoppe te doen. Frans sal bake beter speel met ‘n 10 wat vlak op die vlak op die lyn speel.
Geez, but the Aussie supporters must be gatvol of their Brok Harris like scrum.
46: dit kan werk, sal seker so speel volgende jaar by die Sharks.
What a shit period of play.
Hehe Loosehead!!
Jeeez, Helkom’s ISP has been up to kak in the last 2 days….
I’m on MTN’s 3G now… had to switch over.
Front rows go down, oh wait it is Australia playing.
Whole Wallaby scrum breaks up…. penalty France
Better scrum by the Wallabies….
France looking to be the more industrious side… and stronger up front.
Penalty France… shot at goal
France 13 / 6 Wallabies
Wobblies looking a bit kis towards the end of the half.
Interesting that Micelak are back in no10 jumper for France after his stint at the Sharks. He was if remember correctly not in French team last year during the RWC. At least he didn’t play in the final.
Drop by Freddy Frog… over
