@ Just For Kicks:
Ciao kicks, unfortunately i couldn’t watch last night’s Eng/France game properly as I was on the phone and trying to watch at the same time. This match however seems to be much less exciting than the other two so far.
Not a lot going on at all in this game so far

Hehehe
Hello Blommiebul!
Scotland penalty, slotted by Greig Laidlaw
Ireland 3 / 3 Scotland
@ Just For Kicks:
Hello JFK, i was at a wine tasting evening on Friday at Safari Wine Club in Hoedspruit. Do you know the owner of Glenwood wine estate in Franchoek?

Still not ugly rugby, can see the Northern Hemisphere is smack bang in the middle of their season.
@ The_Young_Turk:you’ve got to get your priorities right. NO Russian chicks during rugby!!!!!! In was a great game, pity you missed it. Advantage swung from one side to the other all night, and some great rugby in between. There were mistakes, but for the first match of the year, they can be forgiven. Looking forward to watching both teams going forward
Ireland penalty from a very handy position, just outside the 22
Ireland 6 / 3 Scotland
@ superBul:Hi Supers. Yes the winemaker is DP Burger. A great guy, and a really nice farm in the F/hook Valley. Best known for their Semillon, if memory serves
“This match is eerily reminiscent of the same encounter last season. Ireland then had all the scoring opportunities and didn’t take them…”
someone commented this
@ grootblousmile:No, not ugly, just not the same intensity
No3 in from the side
42 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, the France / England game was very good
Scotland penalty, collapsing the maul by Cean Healy… to touch it is, out on the 22
@ Just For Kicks:

I met the owner on his farm in the Klaserie Nature reserve in my Telkom days, was so nice to spend the evening with them, Alister Woods and JP. Yes that semilion was also on the menu. He sold the farm when i left Telkom, he said it was because he knew no one would get it right after me. HAHAHA, LOL. Great to hear from him
Scotland’s aim is to disrupt first and play rugby second. Ireland are trying to counter this by playing right on the line, and look like they are getting away with a few indiscretions, especially coming in from the side.
Ireland need to play their own game and trust that their superior game play will eventually break through the Scottish defence
@ superBul:yes Alastair is a really nice guy too. Very down to earth
Collapsed maul, Scotland scrum
Scotland so good at getting under the opponents skin
Scrum is 10m out… big opportunity for Scotland
Great effort by Denton
@ Just For Kicks:
You must organize a wine tasting evening here, at least i can meet you in person then.
Denton almost scores, after a severly retreating Scottish scrum
Now Ireland steal a Scotland lineout, after an overthrow
Maitland cops a nasty knock….
Kearney a bit worse for wear too
@ superBul:Would love to, just a bit far for me to go for an evening!!! Like I Said to Loosy, when you all come over for the World Cup, I’ll put together an awesome whiskey tasting
Maitland is off, ankle shot

Have some Sletsap handy, I don’t drink Whiskey!
