Ag no not sure that was dangerous, but guess it was above shoulders
@ Bullscot:
Too expensive to do all the games at £60 a ticket plus train travel and of course I demand a good lunch too!! 😉
WRS has got tickets for the All Blacks and the Aussie game and of course Wales are not playing SA this time.
57 @ Blue Bird:
There should be no slow plodding rugby especially if Welsh pack can give their backline good ball to run with.
Pumas 3 / 0 Wales
62 @ Blue Bird:
Ahh ok that makes sense, but gosh thats expensive you must have the best seats in the house at that price. Am going to Scotland’s games next week and week after and didn’t cost nearly that much, but then I’m happy to not be in the prime seats.

I have a salt chlorinator. Must be the easiest pool I have ever had to keep clean. Never ever gets algae either. I would recommend if you ever want to change over to do it. Nothing beats a salt pool, you can go away for a few weeks and it takes care of it self. Makes life having a swimmingpool easy.
Wales penalty and Halfpenny for goal… over
Pumas 3 / 3 Wales
Was an easy one but Halfpenny is a very good kicker anyway Wales 3 – 3 Argentina
Not so good in the clearance by Priestland but he did slip, pity no Dan Biggar in the team today
GO PUMAS………LOL.
62 @ Blue Bird:
Hello BB,
How you doing? How is your weather right now? Hope not too cold. You training for the Argus again? I will be in Cape Town first two weeks of Feb next year. Arugus later though.
Pumas look to be dominating at the moment making Wales tackle quite a bit
66 @ Puma:
I have a fibreglass pool… whole thing is fibreglass, so no gunnite walls… easiest bloody thing to maintain… One MonthMate a month and no fus whatsoever
Drop kick over Sanchez Wales 3 – 6 Argentina
Lovely drop
Drop Goal by Nicolas Sanchez… over
Pumas 6 / 3 Wales
Looks like the Pumas have adapted well to the 5 second rule recycling quite sharply at rucks but then maybe thats the way they planned to play anyway
Mmmm that pass looked like it slipped forward to Roberts
72 @ grootblousmile:
Same here, have a fibreglass pool. Best pool I have ever had. Very easy to clean, especially with the salt chlorinator as well.
77 @ Bullscot:
The 5-Second rule works well… saw it last night, and it’s definately an improvement
Contepomi crocked already
76 @ Puma:
Arggh no man Puma we are supporting Wales here today
Not nice to see Contemponi leave the field on the stretcher
Contepomi subbed.. that’s the end of him, I suppose… he will retire now
Halfpenny slots a penalty…
Pumas 6 / 6 Wales
77 @ Bullscot:
Hope we have as well, a little worried how we will go with the new 5 sec rule.
Fiji with 81% of the possession so far! Still 0/0 after 10 min
Jeeeez, fast game…. have to concentrate with the score updating… hehehe
That replay makes it look very sore for Contemponi on his right knee. George North falling on him in making the tackle, had just been thinking that North has been involved quite a lot seems to have free reign to roam the field and stay out on his wing, not noticed anything of Cuthbert yet, ha just as I typed that the commentator mentioned fine tackling by Cuthbert, and he is involved again running it out of defence eerie…
84 @ grootblousmile:
Feel for him, not nice to see him go off on a stretcher.
