Frosty Posted November 2, 2014 Share Watching "catch up on DSTV" of the All Black vs USA game, with USA commentators: Craig Joubert - Head Referee (didn't know there were another referees in rugby); (All Blacks) trigger their offense again; Dagg taking it in for the five (try);Only in the USA - this was 5 minutes, wonder how it was over 80 minutes?

Capricorn Posted November 2, 2014 Share the eagles looked smashed at the end of 80min. ABs just cranked up the pace of play and left the eagles for dead. When they weren't dead, they were looking pretty bewildered. But very nice to see such a packed stadium. There were ppl in the rafters! The commentators were pretty funny, with some odd references. BUT, they weren't wrong, unlike the Rampage commentators. ermahgerd that was horrible to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted November 3, 2014 Share RIP Tinus Linee... http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/Tributes-flock-in-for-Tinus-Linee-20141103 Am I the only one wondering what the rugby players were "spuiting" in the 90's? So many of that era that contracted some very rare conditions and illnesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hboli4 Posted November 3, 2014 Share why the hell do we need 4 flyhalvesApparently Mister Glass (Goosen) was picked as a fullback, together with Lambie more of a utility pick then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP I think they are all bit snopesy...I heard once it was the lime used for line markings...I think it is a combination of bad luck and/or a gene or dna strain that is becoming more emergent due to any number of conditions related to a modernised world...the reason I say this is that we seem to have more cases than we previously had (pure speculation of course) RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HM wants to take fringe players with, so that they get to experience the Bok squad on tour even if they don't feature on the field/bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
