Morning everyone
That was a magnificent try by the ABs there.
Do wish our Bokke was gonna play the French or BIL later today. Think the teams we face are not gonna give us much of a challenge. Anyhow still looking forward to our game, though feel it will be one sided. Well think it will be we should put Italy way easy.

Hello Oompie, did you see I approved your Bru application… and sent you a Bru message?

Hiyas!
All Blacks are slow poison, those three Smiths are awesome, game breakers par excel’lance (check out my French, by the way…..
OK, time to brew a good coffee… got up at 09:26, so hurried to be in time for the game… have not had my cuppa yet!
39 @ grootblousmile:
No never looked at the bru message. Will look a bit later. I know well you will approve my application, so no need to look…. I am after all one of all like a antique blogger here…. been here almost from the start of RT, so sort of expect my application to approved all the time……….
I like the fact that the teams are playing full front rows on the bench this June!
43 @ Puma:
Of course… you’re the Oompie with the shoddiest knees around, so I HAVE TO approve your applications…. hehehe
41 @ Pietman:
Howzit Piet,
How you boet? Hope well.
Yip the ABs are most definitely slow poision. They have all the patience in the world. I am really looking forward to us playing them this year and also the other two (Arg/Oz) in the RC. That is where we can measure ourselves. Feel with the players we have we could win it this year. Hoping.
45 @ grootblousmile:
I picked the All Blacks by 10 on SuperBru, and you guys?
2nd Half ON!
I was heavily surprized by the Japan / Wales score, with Wales just sneaking it… had Wales by bloody 35 on Bru…. hahaha
France steals the All Blacks lineout
@ grootblousmile:
I have them by 11…don’t know why you always follow my picks
Probably why I am so low down on the log…..

Eden park used to be “the House of Pain”, wasn’t it? Until Ricky Januarie brought that old ‘outhouse’ down during our last test there, hehehehe! Springboks lost many a game on that ground.
