Groot.

“The South African Springboks and B do battle ………..”

Appears to be clerical error.

Or perhaps B means Le Bastardo’s. Who knows.

Delete my post when you see this.

And hey………………………………..good luck to your Bokke. I think they will win again, but Le Froggies will be tougher this week.
SA by 11.

1 @ cane:
Thanks Cane… yeah the little gremlin slipped in… I use a TEMPLATE to make these articles (just saves me a heap of typing and formatting graft)… with the temporary team names “A” and “B”… and so I obviously forgot to rename 1 of the “B’s” to France!

I think France will be tougher today, but hopefully so too the Bokke… let’s see.

Now the Zulu Impi is out on the field too.

sadly Kings Park showing far to many empty seats. I suppose we need to win a few more Grade A Tests before we can expect packed stadia.

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 5:02 pm

Bokke also out on the field!

Tassies on 17 June 2017 at 5:12 pm

Tassies on 17 June 2017 at 5:14 pm

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 5:14 pm

Scott Spedding is awarded the try.

@ grootblousmile:

And you, you well?

Yeah, I think it will be a hard game.

Elton Jantjies slots a penalty for the Bokke.

Springboks 3 / 7 France

Tassies on 17 June 2017 at 5:19 pm

Its almost an unreal situation where we’re watching a so-called “athletic” Springbok side against a “physical” French side. It was always the Boks who were labelled the physical tag in almost any battle on the rugby field.

bliksem. close.

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 5:26 pm

Penalty against Oupa Mahoje, high tackle… nothing serious.
24

Tassies on 17 June 2017 at 5:27 pm

this is shaping up to be an arm-wrestle of note. Just the type of game for a certain E Etsebeth and P S Du Toit. He must be itching on that bench
25

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 5:27 pm

Bokke player down prone… Oupa Mohoje!
26

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 5:28 pm

Stretcher is out for him…

His head connected the shoulder of Picamoles.
27

Tassies on 17 June 2017 at 5:29 pm

I like the replacement. This boy can play the game and takes no prisoners. Even French ones.
28

Tassies on 17 June 2017 at 5:30 pm

@ grootblousmile:
All good GB. A few hiccups but nothing insurmountable.
29

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 5:30 pm

Never nice to see any player down and stretched off!

Tassies on 17 June 2017 at 5:31 pm

talk about an athlete, Jean-Luc is the epitome of that label I’d think.
