It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There’s an old man sitting next to me
Makin’ love to his tonic and gin
He says, “Son, can you play me a memory?
I’m not really sure how it goes
But it’s sad and it’s sweet, and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man’s clothes”
La, la, la, de, de, da
La, la, de, de, da, da, da
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you’ve got us feelin’ alright
gooi ñ dop, da bly ek op
bring ñ bier, da bly ek hier!!
La, la, la, de, de, da
La, la, de, de, da, da, da
Helllooooooooo
Anthems done…Haka time….
Kapa O Panga… the version of the haka
Game ON!

19-toet?
11 @ McLook:
Ja…. flippen lank gelede… hehehe
Wynand Claassen’s son is playing in his first test for the Frenchies.
All Blacks attack ends in a knock inside the French 22
13 @ McLook:
Are you sure…. he’s come off the bench in this series, has’nt he?
Teams captains get a speaking to…. a warning to both.
France penalty from the scrum… on their 22
Bastard-ou, the French No 13 looks more like a prop, but he’s mobile, hey!
First point for the Frogs.
France back inside the All Blacks 22… snap drop… over
France 3 / 0 All Blacks
Morning all, Good day for sport – made sure my calendar is completely clear, and the wife’s away for the w/end. Perfect!

Hello,
I’ve been up since 06:50…. and have just returned from the Bank queues. A long day already for me.
Meanwhile my partner in the funeral thing is busy with a funeral already….
These Frenchies are indeed a strange bunch, today they look up for it again… whilst I was thinking they are going to be moerred properly
Shyte. Nice break by No 9. AB on the counter.
@ grootblousmile:Great stuff – I can’t say the same – two very late nights hosting tasting, I only got up at 7.30. Breakfast, washing up, and thats all I’ve managed!
Ciao a tutti!

All Blacks quietly gaining in confidence here. Slowly taking control
