All Blacks 14 / 9 France, as Carter slots a penalty
Knock by Kerr-Barlow
Frogs have so much promise but just have not been able to put it all together this year. I wonder what the problem is…
119 @ Puma:
Did you come right with those items you wanted to buy last week?
Remember the TV for the freegin study!
@120. Problem is the French seems unable to make the most of those Carter misses. AB is starting to crawl away. They are just too clinical. Give the half a. Angle and hey convert it into points. French so far he better team in the field IMO.
Both sides gone into their shells a bit at the moment. Need a bit of individual brilliance to make it come alive again
Must say, the All Blacks not looking too flush today against what one could call, a very kak French side!
French tactical kicking is shyte. They are playing the game in the wrong side of the field.
3 Subs for the frogs
Just can’t see the ABs losing to this French side even though they are not playing well. The ABs are too ruthless in exploiting opponents’ errors while they hardly make any themselves…
Also their kick chase is not existing. Box kick with no chase.
When Ranger touches the ball, there is trouble!
He must be a Power Ranger…. hahaha
…..and Ranger comes to the party!!!
124 @ grootblousmile:
No still have not been up to Gateway to get it sorted. Was just too busy this week. Just hauled out my Joburg router and am using that one. Always had two had the one here that I used in Umhlanga and one in Joburg. When I left Joburg, brought the Joburg one here, but left it in my study cupboard for a few years now. Really never wanted to use this one want a new one. Anyhow working from the Joburg one for now. Will try make a effort to get the to the shops this week. I honestly hate going to the malls or any shop for that matter, but know if I want those things I have to get off my butt and go. Did go up last week on Saturday but heck it was busy there and just turned around and came home.
Claassen is having a good game so far. AB lifting the tempo again. I predict hey are going to score within the next 5 to 8 minutes.
Fark, I picked the All Blacks by 25 (I think) on Bru….
Bliksems!
Once the ABs stretch the gap to 8, it will be game over. Frogs just hoping for some moment of magic as that’s all that could save them…
132 @ grootblousmile:
He is my favourite players from the ABs. Pity he is leaving to play in France. Think he will be a loss for them. Should have started him much more often than they have done.
138 @ Puma:
players = player
134 @ Puma:
Mail me if you want to get details of what you should go for, on all counts… I’ll give you model Makes, Names & Numbers and amounts you are looking to pay for those items, then you can just go get them at Gateway….
Le Roux on as well. Two SA-ners on the field now.
136 @ grootblousmile:
Not sure what I have them by. Think either 7 or 14 will have to check.
Yellow Card for the French No 5?
Or is it a Red?
Head butt, butt head…
Arghh, but rugby is getting soft….
@ Puma:
Please check your post no. 134. I believe you missed out a few commas 😉
Sillyness wont help the frogs
Yellow card. This will be the end of the French challenge.
Yellow it is for Maestri… and a shot at goal
All Blacks 17 / 9 France
That’s it, the fat lady is singing.
