Fitting that a minute’s silence was observed after the Anthems to honour Joost van der Westhuizen’s life…

Another long afternoon for van Schalkwyk and his fellow Italian forwards in the scrum.

Can see my 17 point Irish win on Superbru is going to bee waaaay too little.

Hi Mr Kempies!

I think I also went for Ireland by 17 points on Bru!

grootblousmile on 11 February 2017 at 4:35 pm

Ireland very close…. right at the line…

Ireland 5m penalty, right in front of the posts.

grootblousmile on 11 February 2017 at 4:35 pm

Ireland opt to scrum from the penalty!
14

Scrumdown on 11 February 2017 at 4:36 pm

@ grootblousmile:
How on earth did SA lose to this Italian team?
15

grootblousmile on 11 February 2017 at 4:37 pm

Try Zebo, left corner?

TMO

Looked to me like he lost the ball.

Scrumdown on 11 February 2017 at 4:37 pm

I reckon Furlong must be a shoe in for the B&I Lions TH.

Seems a very good player.
17

grootblousmile on 11 February 2017 at 4:38 pm

Yip he lost it…
18

grootblousmile on 11 February 2017 at 4:38 pm

No try, but they go back for another 5m penalty in front of the posts… for offside.
19

Scrumdown on 11 February 2017 at 4:39 pm

Yellow must surely come out for Itaky soon?

grootblousmile on 11 February 2017 at 4:39 pm

grootblousmile on 11 February 2017 at 4:46 pm

Try CJ Stander, Ireland!
25

Scrumdown on 11 February 2017 at 4:46 pm

I wonder if Stander says Vanderbijlpark with a bog trotters accent????
26

grootblousmile on 11 February 2017 at 4:47 pm

Italy 3 / 14 Ireland

Kom hy daar van die VUIL Driehoek af?
28

Scrumdown on 11 February 2017 at 4:53 pm

27 @ grootblousmile:
Nee. Maar dis mos ‘n dorpsnaam wat souties nooit kon uitspreek nie en hy is maar tussen die Eire al vir ‘n paar jare.
29

grootblousmile on 11 February 2017 at 4:54 pm

Ireland ALL over Italy…. try Keith Earls again, right corner!

28 @ Scrumdown:
South Africa missed a big trick not to have capped Stander when they had the opportunity…
