I have just received a mail from the Blue Bulls that both Jacques du Plessis and Flip van der Merwe have signed in France from after completion of the Currie Cup at the end of the year.

Jacques will go to Montpellier for 2 years and Flip is off to Clermont Auvergne.

I see Carol has gone for Wales by 150 on Superbru – she must have some serious inside knowledge. Either that or her ‘0’ button is right next to the ‘Enter’ button!!!

Hello all, logic for me dictates that Wales should win but something tugging at back of my mind that England may just sneak an upset.

Good news, through a combination of three lines I relieved Gidani of R7162 after Wednesday night’s Lotto!!!

Wales out amidst loud applause…

Fark, fielding high kicks is going to be difficult till the players eyes adapt to bright lights again…
