Ick, you poor thing.

Stream's back, hurrah. Wow, Springboks scored again, Australia's down 12-0 with only 11 minutes on the clock!

 

[Axver]

Giteau misses Australia's first scoring opportunity of the match ... still 12-0.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Aw, it ain't bad. It's better than watching Port v. North. North Melbourne are up 7 to nil.

[Axver]

I'd gladly take the Port game myself, Vlad!

And hey Jen! How's it going?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

What on earth is it?

 

[mysterious_jen]

hey guys

did geelong lose today ?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I'd gladly take the Port game myself, Vlad!

Dear oh dear.

 

[Axver]

Shocking passage of play, basic mistakes by both teams, stunning ref penalty to the 'Boks, now 15-0 against Australia. Only 17 minutes into the game!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

hey guys

did geelong lose today ?

Nah, they beat Freo by 40 or so points.

 

[Axver]

did geelong lose today ?

Nope, 94-54 win over Freo.

See Bombers snagged the eighth spot? Good game against the Hawks.

 

[mysterious_jen]

oh yah im glad the bombers got up .
i saw the freo team in a hotel in geelong on friday , they are not a an impressive bunch of blokes.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Bit of a scrappy win by Geelong, at one stage I heard they were up by very much and could've won by 100.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

oh yah im glad the bombers got up .
i saw the freo team in a hotel in geelong on friday , they are not a an impressive bunch of blokes.

Did they seem gloomy when expecting a thrashing at the hands of Geelong?

Why am I not surprised.

 

[Axver]

Jesus Christ, Matt Giteau's having a shocker. Misses another penalty, still 15-0 to South Africa after 25 minutes.

 

[mysterious_jen]

could be, they just had no pizzazz or grunt you know,

from what i have seen of geelong they are polished, well built blokes that strut everywhere they go and exude that team togetherness, the eagles in their glory days were like that too .

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It'd be hard for Oz to comeback methinks.

 

[Axver]

About fucking time, third time lucky for Giteau. 15-3 now. Australia's starting to get more of the ball and may be coming back into this game. For the All Blacks' Tri-Nations chances, I sure hope they are!

It's quite unsurprising.

 

[Axver]

Haha, commentators mentioned that apparently Perth is statistically the third windiest city in the world. I should move there!

And Habana scores off a Wallaby mistake! 20-3. What an opportunistic try, and holy shit that guy can run fucking fast. Steyn makes the conversion, so 22-3. Maybe Wallabies aren't getting back into it after all ...

I think I'll use that as an excuse for our kicking last night.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, how did you guys not kill Poormond by over 100?

And anybody got updates on Swans vs Fitzroy? This rugby stream is killing my bandwidth so I can't really check the AFL website's live scoring thingy ...

Though now it's half-time, Australia gets a late penalty and it's 22-6. Not looking good for the Wallabies ...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Anyone remember the wind in the match at Subiaco between Eagles and Hawks (Bonnie's sig as a hint), that was incredibly windy!

Oh yeah, I do. Boy, I had fun watching that game, though.

Also Vlad, did I ever tell you that I went to school with Bernie Vince? Because I went to school with Bernie Vince.

 

[mysterious_jen]

heloooooooo boonie , who is bernie vince?

 

[Axver]

Try-time to Australia! Very good try. And it's converted, now South Africa only leads by nine points, 22-13.

This is proving to be an exciting game of rugby.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Hi Jen, how you going?

Bernie Vince is one of the Crow's young guns... future 'elite' I reckon.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Cool. What school was that? (not trying to stalk )

You must've been a few grades below him, I assume.

Yeah, forget about Marc Murphy. Young Bernard is just a door knock away from being 'elite' or a 'superstar'.
