@ Stormersboy:
So will I
Last week for the test was great
Really a good day out
The PLAN / DREAM is to make a Rugby-Talk touring party to the Rugby World Cup 2015…
Could be a massive blast!
208 @ grootblousmile: Well theres plenty of that going. I am sure, start with Tork Craft!!!!!!
210 @ nga puhi:
Our plane will be Rugby-Talk 1 (much like Air Force 1)…. and we will have a duplicate one too…. hehehehe
Hey, I’m not Rockefeller, I’m the other feller!
@ nga puhi:
You mean RT One?
The way the NZ teams are coached to always have a runner off the shoulder of the ball carrier is fantastic. The pop passes are basically no look passes that more often than not find a player in support.
If we can coach this type of play we will be competing for a 4 Nations title on a regular basis.
210 @ nga puhi: Problem with that is that it would be GBS’ private hearse jet, and knowing him as I do, he would probably fill it up with cheap chinese coffins on the way home – Hardly the style we would expect!
@ grootblousmile:
You’re gonna need a few more people to bring you R25600 and …then you will need them to drop dead soon after 😉
Just thought you guys would want to name the plane after the team most likely to win it, hence AB 1
@ grootblousmile:
Hire Air Zimbabwe 1
Extra space in the chicken coops on the roof for the economy class passengers
217 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, THAT’s the plan… hehehe
Saw somewhere in England theres a place which makes Cardboard Coffins…. lid and all… want to buy one, pirate the design and do them here as Pauper Coffins!
Will make a “killing”, pun intended!
Hahaha
@ Just For Kicks:
after a month in Europe drinking and watching rugby, some of us may just need those coffins for the return trip
On Thursday we burried one of those cops of a few years back who got pinged in that Dog-Bite scandal, Dog Unit Benoni.
3 Of them were sent to jail for 3 years for that.
It was all over in the news at the time.
Seconds left in the match
222 @ nga puhi:Haha, yup, but not to worry, between Bully and I, you’ll all have plenty of space to recuperate before you have to head back!
What a brilliant try
Stuffs my margin up, but wow
Geez, what a try!
Bonus point try, Saders… Vaieno (Spelling) how do you speel his surname?
@ grootblousmile:
There is actually someone here who makes them out of a hardened cardboard. The business plan for the company crossed my desk a while ago, must see if i can track it down.
223 @ grootblousmile: Fark thats a bit slow – service delivery hasn’t improved in SA then. 3 years, that is one hell of a waiting time!
Final Score: Crusaders 40 / 12 Highlanders
@ Just For Kicks:
😀
Good stuff Crusaders
229 @ Stormersboy:
Please do that!
Dammit, why did the Saders have to get the bonus 🙁
@ grootblousmile:
Veianu.
236 @ nga puhi:

238 @ nga puhi:
