Where is NZINCHINA as he is a Blues supporter?
Blues get a penalty on about Halfway… what will they do?
Missed by the Blues
Nothing going right for the Blues… knock by Weepu.
Landers scrum
@ Puma:
im here mate, what a big pile of poo my team is today, fortunately my feed of the net is in Japaanese so I don’t have to listen to as well
35 @ NZINCHINA:
Hello China, Landers looking good, hey!
Blues slowly getting into the game, Landers defence staunch so far.
Blues penalty, not rerleasing in the tackle!
Blues kick for touch and they have an attacking lineout… knock and Landers counter
@ grootblousmile:
ha, they are being made to look good
This is much better rugby than the rubbish we had to endure last night. GBS, you were right, the Bulls are dead to me.
39 @ NZINCHINA:
Good to have you New Zealand supporters on here too.
Pity you guys can’t follow Afrikaans, we have an Article up on the Delmas Rugby Club Rugby Day, a rural club in Mpumalangam South Africa, where Rugby-Talk is one of the co-sponsors.
Try Ben Smith, Landers… try No 3 already for the Landers.
Highlanders 24 / 0 Blues

43 @ grootblousmile:

Playing SR Bru for the first time & am 0/2 so far…got the Lions game wrong last week as well…
@ grootblousmile:
Nice work on the sponsorship thing, hopefully the NZ crew from KEO will all come over, it will do wonders for your hits.
45 @ Scrumdown:
No problem!
48 @ NZINCHINA:
Our hits and Page impressions have increased because of the guys from Voldy, but not by much.
What has increased is the activity in the comments sections. Yesterday we had about 1 200 comments for the day.
A very small fraction of readers actually comment.
I will draw stats just now to see what yesterday’s Page Impressions were… recon it could be over 20 000 for the day
Back from my 10 k run, please tell me someone forgot to update the scoreboard.
2nd Half ON!
Try Blues.
Try Saili, Blues
@ NZINCHINA:
Good to see you here while your team are playing. Your team finally scores a quick try in the 2nd half. They might make a come back but have a lot I catching up to do.
Highlanders 24 / 7 Blues
@ grootblousmile:
I must have missed it but what does voldy mean?
@ Puma:
We’re toast today Puma.
Can these clowns actually catch.
