Gooooooooo Ireland… hehehe
Watching a bit of the HSBC Sevens World Series, last night and early this morning’s play
Great preview articles on PR, latest one about the Sharks. I wont copy and paste but you know where to see it.
Enjoy todays game, i hope England keeps playing their new style, much more enjoyable.
3 @ superBul:
PR?
http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,16024_8488564,00.html
Not that the Sharks need any more P.R.O. around here 😉
5 @ Stormersboy:
Oh thanks… at least a decent explanation, which makes sense.
Hehehe, yeah, the Sharks need no more PR, they have their own PR machine right here in Tjarkie_Fornever and Oompie Puma.
@ grootblousmile:
It’s interesting that they highlight Keegan and Whitehead as players to watch.
Ironic.
Neither would start in any Sharks team I would pick.
Well now not in Plums team either, for the next while anyway.
7 @ Stormersboy:
Watching the Sevens…. you know Keegan Daniel would have made a great Sevens player.
Been thinking we must get guys like Keegan, Paul Jordaan, Hougie, Super Sareltjie to play Sevens when we get ready for the Olimpics in 2016.
@ grootblousmile:
Yes for sure. Jordaan too. My personal opinion is that Sevens must be a feeder to the full game. I’d be in favour of considering proposals to limit the age of sevens to 21 or something like that.
9 @ Stormersboy:
One can’t limit ages if it is an Olimpic Sport.
I expect New Zealand and Australia, England, France, Wales, Ireland, Scotland to all beef up their Sevens sides for the 2016 Olimpics, in a bid to win it hands down… so we’ll have to get the Super Rugby and Springbok star players involved too… if we are to stand a chance.
Hello all, will be nice to try watch this one as a neutral, although maybe a slight leaning towards England
11 @ Bullscot:
I think England will win, and picked so on Bru… but Goooooooooooo Ireland!
Busy Ghosting Hard Drives here today, making full clone images of my most important machines… can’t afford to lose info or not to be up and running very quickly should I get a machine wonk out or get stolen.
Also still need to make a full Backup set of Handbriekie’s Data… today.
Players out on the pitch… and we have the Anthems coming up soon.
Rainy weather there in Dublin…. which should suit England, I think.
@ grootblousmile:
Home advantage and the damp may just tilt it in Irelands favour gbs but depends on which England turns up today, they will probably not get as much space as they had last week
Anthems done and dusted… oh no wait, the 2nd Ireland Anthem to follow
14 @ grootblousmile:
was posting before saw yours about conditions favouring England, this should be a battle Sean oBrian should thrive in, one of my favourite players today
Ready folks?
Ciao a tutti! Moer the Pommies!
