Aaaah, here it is, just in time. England should take this by a country mile, but my heart – as always is firmly with Scotland the Brave.
@ Just For Kicks:
Come on the Kilts! Moer the pommies sommer stukkend!
Had to go for England on bru tho’ – hearts one thing and sense is another…
@ The_Young_Turk:Me too – although I should have stuck with the Scots, my Bru record is so shite, it wouldn’t have made any difference, apart from possibly making some more Scottish friends!
@ Just For Kicks:Stormers 11/0 up against Cheetahs, but a very boring match
@ Just For Kicks:
Just not that into the early season warm up matches. Looking forward to the real S15 starting.
@ The_Young_Turk:You’re right, but there needs to be a massive improvement in the Stormers side, they look decidedly average at the moment
What’s the latest in the crici? See the blomme had lost 3 wickets already…
195/3. Kallis gone for 7. Didn’t Steyn bowl well? 6 for 8
@ Just For Kicks:
See our beloved Bullyboy friends are going orgasmic over their win over the Lions… as if it matters 🙂
@ Just For Kicks:
Yip Steyn was simply awesome. No doubt about his number 1 status.
Certainly the best team Scotland have put together for a while
Theres a good stat for you – not a single member of the England team were alive when Scotland last won at Twickers!
SA now over 400 runs ahead in the cricket
9 @ The_Young_Turk:
Orgasmic??
Sorry, but then you’ve obviously never had a real orgasm… hehehe
Italian Stallion, my arse!
@ grootblousmile:
Ha HA! I thought you were still away celebrating. Didn’t realise you were back here already…
Teams coming out
@ The_Young_Turk:Was a very important win for the Bulls – apparently they’re trying to get a ‘B’ Team into the S15, to double their chances!
Another awesome turnout at Twickers – rugby is alive and well in the Northern Hemisphere
@ Just For Kicks:
Anthems over, spine tingling stuff, time to kick off
@ Just For Kicks:
Forgot the emoticon, I was laughing so hard!
England to kick off
And they do, and deep too
Kickers, what’s your sense, do you think it’s possible Scotland will declare independence from the UK?
17 @ Just For Kicks:
The B-Team might just beat a number of the Super Rugby sides… hehehe
Depth, depth, depth… it’s becoming critical in Super Rugby.
Powerful run by Ben Morgan
@ The_Young_Turk:Tough one, it could well go the SNP way, but if it does, surely it’s going to make a mess of the position in the EU – will come back to that.
England get an early penalty, and over it sails
England 3/0 Scotland
Massive gap opens up for Tom Wood. Scotland looking well behind at the moment
Flok, it’s all England at the moment!
