Tryyyyyyyyy Roberts, Rebels!
TMO to check for a knock somewhere.
Second time Higgenbotham intercepted.
This time he didn’t trip over his own feet and should be a try.
Huge turnaround, almost a 14 point swing
Try awarded!

I was reading an old article about him this week; he’s a hairdresser by profession!!!
That’s right…you read right!!!
You can only imagine the flak he gets from his teammates in the national team while away but he apparently takes it all in his stride and often has a queue of ABs outside his hotel room waiting for their free haircuts.
If I was him I’d charge the sods!!!
Immediate Landers penalty, Sapoaga slots it.

Rebels living on Pollock’s grace here, Landers should have buried them by now. Higginbottom having a blinder though.
Looks good, GBS, especially like the home page, much cleaner and easier to read. Well done. You couldn’t put a ‘home’ button at the top along the permanent band (‘New’, ‘Edit Post’, etc) to save having to scroll all the way back up to the top to find it. Also a button for making coffee would be good.
Again, well done, looks good, if not dark and moody – just like most of us Stormers supporters!

Saw that article
He refused to cut Richie’s hair though, to scared of stuffing up.
And no….there is no truth that the Stormers made him a huge offer just because they thought having a hair dresser in the side might make them more macho
09:45 @ nortierd:
There are not a lot of recent Photos of GBS, for obvious reasons… so I had to choose the “Least Scary” one….
Flip these 2 sides are already the cause of soooooooo much shyte with Superbru this year.
Don’t be surprised if it ends up a draw.
It’s an ANZAC conspiracy against the SAFFA SuperBru contestants I tell you!

P.S. GBS, the site looks great I think, just couldn’t get in nicely from my BBerry last night but will try again later.
Try nr 3 Landers

The Mud Island keyboards not have a “Home” button built in?

There is a HOME BUTTON, on the Menu… and the R_T Logo at the top is clickable too, which takes you back to the Home Page!
I’m glad you like the design.
Try Smith, Landers!
Converted.

Pity Breyton’s not still playing, he could’ve given him another lekker perm…
@ Scrumdown: Im on a Mac, so its probably sunk!
