24 @ Chief Wiggum:
Out of genuine interest, what made you move here from Voldy (Keo)?
Not to mention Bloemies. @ Scrumdown:
Laidlaw misses a sitter for Scotland
32 @ Chief Wiggum:
Blingfontein is not bad… specially not this year, with their side doing well
Another Scotland penalty… an easy one.
Over
Samoa 14 / 6 Scotland
Missed the first part of this game, had to go out quick.
Jeepers it is hot here today. The Scots wont handle this heat that is for sure.
Come on Scotland!
Not enough updates or none at all. Copy and paste articles. Many a time I noticed the same stuff on a diff site. @ grootblousmile:
Samoa very close… they are very physical and breaking tackles left, right and centre
Samoa penalty… shot at goal
37 @ Chief Wiggum:
Well… here you will find a passionate community!
Sitter missed… 22 drop in
24 @ Chief Wiggum:
Welcome to this good site Chief.
37 @ Chief Wiggum:
Interesting…. I have not been to Voldy in almost 4 years now…
Seems the HSM split has not been good news there…
Scotland knock, just about on the Samoa 22
Scotland putting up classic pressure, but the Samoans look a bit more physical
Scotland scrum penalty, near their own 22… tighthead scrumming in and then popping up
You guys have your Green and Gold on already?
I certainly have!
Today is not a good day to be a married man. Luckily I am not. Watched almost every minute of every game today.The Snacks and drink stains on my couch is just horrific.
47 @ Chief Wiggum:
Hehehe
Tell us more about yourself… who do you support in Super Rugby and in Tests…
Looks like you’re in SA…
Plan B. Rice from the chinese take away.
If the power doesn’t come on in time plan c. Off to the pub to watch the game later.
Greig Laidlaw goes for goal again and slots this one.
Samoa 14 / 9 Scotland
Samoans so strong in the legs and hips
Samoa knock.. right on the Scotland line
Local from Bloemies. So it can only be the Cheeeetaahss and Bokke. @ Chief Wiggum:
Seems as if it’s almost a Summer day in Deben by the sea…
Not bad weather here either, in the Panne!
Not expecting a great game later.
Spaghetti munchers will probably employ lots of spoiling tactics.
53 @ Chief Wiggum:
You an Old Grey boy or a Tralie or a Sand du Plessis oke?
None of these sides look up to much to be honest. Do hope Italy is much better.
Would be great to have three top countries in this tournement. Imagine if this tourney had: France, Wales were here? Now that would be brilliant. Would love to have the better teams doing this tourney here. More exciting seeing our Boks playing top countries here. Anyhow still looking forward to seeing our Boks player next.
57 @ Puma:
Maybe a lighter build-up to The Rugby Championship might prove to be a bit better on the bodies and for continuity… who knows
