Decky Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 O'Gara a replacement?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgs Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hook got forearm smashed in the last game otherwise he would be there. ROG gets praised by the Irish but has no game apart from kicking. Can't run a ball, pass it or tackle. Just have to hope he doesn't get on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_sniper Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 The first test in Durban will be quite close but the Springboks will run riot on the highveld in Pretoria and Joburg... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgs Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 26-21 to the boks in the first test, 26-7 with 13 to play. Cracking 2nd half if anyone is interested or is able to watch it again. Tonight at 6.10 is the last chance for some players to stake a claim to play in the remaining 2 matches. Lions vs Emerging Springboks (brightest uncapped at international level talent) Watch out for s williams and fitzgerald in particular since monye failed to finish off 2 chances on saturday and that position is well and truly up for grabs. Look out for the 2nd rows and 7 and 8 as well since those positions may also be up for grabs for the 2nd test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearer9 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Why are they not playing in Cape Town? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_sniper Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Why are they not playing in Cape Town? Because Durban, Pretoria and Joburg were chosen instead. Specifically, the Springboks play better on the highveld and therefore two were guaranteed to be there. Cape Town got the Emerging Springboks match instead..

The Prophet Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 O'Gara should be dropped. What a fucking idiot making such a daft challange with thirty seconds ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAK Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 O'Gara should be dropped. What a f***ing idiot making such a daft challange with thirty seconds ago. Not the smartest move, could have drawn the series if they had drawn this test. Series goes down in history as a loss now because he lost his discipline.

Ash Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 O'Gara should be dropped. What a fucking idiot making such a daft challange with thirty seconds ago. He shouldn't be dropped just because of that. He should be dropped because he's fucking shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Great win, should have won the series too. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Better than gay tennis anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
