Patience with ball in hand. Just moving it through the hands; no individual trying to do too much. Great rugby.

I received a Mail from SuperBru to say their site is farked and they’re sorting it out with their ISP… luckily there was the address for the emergency site in the mail too.
Penalty Blues, shot at goal… over.

Buon giorno = good day, buona sera = good evening, Buona notte = good night, Ciao = Hello or Goodbye

Someone said that to me as well on keo yesterday. Though I got in straight away around 5pm yesterday to put my picks in. Well hope they went through.
Great breakout from the Blues, out of their 22…. and Weepu scores again!
TMO checks.. looks like the try might not be…
75 @ grootblousmile:
Hehehe. Always enjoy Ashley. Has a good sense of humour. I feel like Ashley today, busy busy like a bee…hehe.

@ grootblousmile:
Superbru website was suffering a DNS attack last night but on twitter they had an alternative site to make ones picks.
I now need an unconverted Landers try for Bru… could well be on.
83 @ The_Young_Turk:
I have a Twitter Account… but I don’t do that shit… must be one of the shittest things on earth twittering everybody…. with few characters available to really express yourself.
Some people ake the twitter thing too far, tweeting everything
4 Minutes to go, Landers on attack with a lineout…
Landers very close…
@ The_Young_Turk:
