2018 June Internationals
-
@booboo Boks named two captains. One for the Wales test and one for the series v England.
-
@kiwimurph ah. Gotcha. So this is Bokke A?

Yep, and Wales A.
-
Ireland with a last minute drop goal after 73 phases.
Argentina - cos they need to get their big win - outside of a RWC - just in case we meet the bogey fuckers again in Japan.
France - because I met a French woman once. And besides I’ve gone off Kiwis ever since Smith flapped his hands under the dryer in a disabled toilet and Tana’s “apology”....
SA with a last minute try in the first half and three in the second and watching Eddie J getting wound tighter and tighter.
-
@Pot-Hale 's comment re Eddie reminds me almost makes me want Ireland to win for similar reasons, ie just because Cheika. Actually, no fuck Ireland, it almost makes me want Aussie not win ...
But then reality kicks in and the resulting Oirish chippiness outweighs the pleasure of a Cheika meltdown. And living here you realise Aus rugby needs a boost.
South Africa. Easy decision.
Wales. Not sure why.

Outrageous.

@pot-hale Get used to it PH. You're the threat now, so it comes with the territory.
-
Ireland and Australia to play a nil all draw for three games. Actually the game here needs all the help it can get. So Wallabies by a million.
South Africa because they need a boost and
@pukunui said in 2018 June Internationals:because fuck England and Eddie jones
Yeah.
Wales because fuck the Argies football antics
Yeah. Sanchez and his diving is pissing me right off.
ABs but only just so they learn some hard lessons and DMac gets dumped from the squad for throwing intercepts when he's not passing to no one.

And for those in the UK
C4 9.20 pm

@louis What a horror debut for Du Preez the Sharks 10. Charged down twice in a row to lose the game.
@kiwimurph That last one for the try wasn't great. He was really casual.
Not a great game, but both teams had a cobbled together appearance about them. 3 in a row for Wales vs the Boks now. -
OK the positives first
We won. First away win against SA. So congratulations to the 23
Ellis Jenkins has got the right stuff. So too Tomos Williams.
And hopefully we can put the 'North in the centre experiment' to bed once and for all
As soon as Parkes came on we had shape both in defence and attack. I was critical of putting an old fella into Test rugby. Happy to be proven wrongNow the negatives
C4 rubbish coverage
Ref very average
The last thing this crowd should have been subjected to was extra time
Both teams playing shit, shit tactics with shit, shit skill levels
Anscombe fuck off. Patchell has to start against the Argies.
One of the worst test matches I'vd watchedBut we won

Sounds like something real turgid. Hopefully someone can post the Saffas take on the proceedings for those of us that, fortunately as it turned out, were unable to take in the match. Jaf might have found time to watch given 7s were well finished for the day by then?
