Hoping for the best but will be a tough game for Scotland. Game is on tomorrow.
France threatening the whole time…
@ grootblousmile:
I saw this first on /facebook. How very, very sad. Look I never met Mark but he was such fun as a blogger. I know you had met him and Robzim said he met him, I think at Jinx funeral. I’m not sure….. But he was fun. Had he been ill?
63 @ Blue Bird:
I don’t have the foggiest clue what happened or whether he was ill or not…
@ grootblousmile:
Opps … yep, Saturday… WRS fed me the wrong information!

😳 Hope you are prepared for the Arctic blasts that are due here this weekend!! These Saffas have no idea how a Siberian wind can nearly cut you in half!! 😉
Halftime
69 @ Blue Bird:
It was bloody 22 Degrees C here today and I was bloody cold… you can keep your icy winds and weather for yourself!
Dragons 7/15 Edinburgh 52nd min, try by Rynard Ligtoring Landman, converted by Dorian Jones. Jones replaced Zane Kirchener at flyhalf for this game with Kirchener moving to 13.
@ grootblousmile:
Stormers Boy was too young to go whatever happened.
Btw who is the strongest SA side in the super15 these days? I’m so out of it its a mystery………..
JP Pietersen with the mic on the side of the field at halftime

Yes was cold at times today in the lazy wind (I say lazy because it doesn’t bother going around you it just goes right through you), but it will be getting a lot colder into next week, maybe even snow on the cards for you, do you look forward to snow?

78 @ Blue Bird:
Unless I go to clients I wear slops and shorts and a golf shirt…
The days of Victor and Bakkies are over, however the long lasting man made fibres of my BlueBulls shirt go on and on!! It is still seen occasionally on a chilly day worn over my running vest!
@ Bullscot:
Snow is a pain in the arse to be honest! We have a long private drive and have to use a loadall to dig ourselves out. I have a 4WD car so it is not too bad. Just trying being on the roads with people who have no idea how to drive in snowy conditions!! 🙂
No impartiality there by JP Pietersen and Ashton, they are pundits tonight but talk about hoping France will come good in the second half, probably as they play in France.
@ Blue Bird:
Ahh yes that would be a problem to get all the snow cleared then, can get difficult on the roads but it makes the cold seem more worth it when it snows, get fed up morning after morning of having to scrape the frost off the car.
Leinster 57/7 Kings 65th min
Rudi, i have a new laptop.. how do i refresh the page as F5 does not seem to do it?
Final score: Munster 21/10 Glasgow – disappointing but well done Munster.
@ Bullscot:
I think you need a garage!! 🙂
