I decided to make a joint Live Game Article for the 2 Tests this afternoon… so we can comment on both here at the same time.
Look, New Zealand should win by 30 points, but fark me I would love the Poms to beat them.
2 @ Loosehead:
Hello,
Would be good if the Poms could break the All Blacks unbeaten run…. but then again I would rather support a Southern Hemisphere team.
Hope Wales do a good dirty on the Ozzmob though… not likely
@ grootblousmile:
Hey GBS. I think rather easy victories for the South Hem.
4 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Helloooooo, GBAI!
Yip… should be, but rugby is a funny old game.
@ grootblousmile:
I’m loving the 7’s and the cricket at the moment – look forward to Amla getting that 1st run tomorrow AM.
Also, rather enjoying my first go at SuperBru.
6 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Yip, SuperBru is GREAT fun!
Kickers, I see you skulking around like a lost fart… you already missing SA?
Hehehe
OK, get your boots on, charge your drinks… and kiss the wiff good bye for 2 hours…. it’s Test time.
Games start in about 13 minutes
Predictions?
All Blacks out on the field
Ciao a tutti!
England coming out onto the pitch
12 @ The_Young_Turk:
Hello Gobbles
Anthems
@ grootblousmile:Hello all from a sunny Dorset. just been to the pub for my first pint of real beer – what a pleasure!!!!!!
These games will be all about my bru. I need to give Smiles and Pieta a thorough thrashing so expect the ABs to really moer the Bleekbene stukkend and win by at least 40. Then it should be a close one in the other match with the Wobblies just beating a Gatland inspired Wales by 3 points.
16 @ Just For Kicks:
Hello Landsverlater….
Enjoy!
@ Just For Kicks:
Welcome to civilisation Kickers. Missing SA yet?
Now for the little Haka dance… the one Loosehead loves so much!
I have never experienced such fast internet – GBS, you have no idea what you are missing!!!
@ The_Young_Turk:Haha, to the land of milk and beer!!!!!!
Kapa o panga… as Sweet Chariot rings out in the stands
21 @ Just For Kicks:
Fark you… hahaha
@ The_Young_Turk:Only missing the wife and kids!
Just off to grab a bite to eat, will join you all in a bit
Only have a Text update of the Scores in the Wales / Wallabies match… so bear with me.
England vs All Blacks game ON!
@ Just For Kicks:
Smiles wouldn’t know what to do with fast internet, he’s head would explode. Missing Beanie too.
Lots of ping pong kicking early on
@ grootblousmile:
