@grant10: 149- Yep disaster….. At least there were two great trys to get us on our feet from Leigh Halfpenny and Shane Williams, too little too late tho.

A walk on the beach should restore your spirits…..perhaps a cold Windhoek with lunch too!!

2 out of 4 so far on supeBru…Not good either there!

@grant10: Hi Grant, the Welsh had us screaming at the end.....Shane Williams pulled out another fantastic try in the dying minutes of the game!! The ref was 'harsh' on the Welsh!! .....and I come back to find the Stormers have lost too!

@gunther:

I also love the country
Specially the (lack of) traffic.
I will keep an eye on Haskell tomorrow.
He was brilliant against Wales – indeed an exciting player.

I am out – see u.

@Nils: I believe he was not a bad flyhalf in his days either. He played for TvL (nowadays the golden Lions) and I think also for the Junior Boks in his younger days.

@fish out of water: I am also a huge fan of Joe but I guess he has burned his bridges with the current SA rugby regime. Pity, at his best he would walk into the Bok team imo.

@Robzim: @gunther: He was the first one SA man with a microphone I listened to while watching rugby. At first his vocal tones annoyed me, then I listened to a few other guys (Campostagno, Pierce, the grey haired guy with moustache who covers WP/Stormers games, Stransky, Skinstad, Brosnihan, etc. etc.) and I realised that old Hugh beats them all hands down. When I saw him debating with Aussie colleagues during the 3N game in Australia (a few years ago), I liked him even more. He is a man with knowledge and passion for SA rugby and, most important, he SHOWS it. He really cares. I honestly like him very much.

@Robzim: if van Niekerk was eligible for France he would be in the team, everywhere I go and people find out I am South African all I hear is Joe is so good, why can't he play for France? Parisse being out injured this 6 Nations is massively disappointing I was looking forward to seeing him play in an improving Italian team.

I think he did

Him and a mate filmed each other with this bird

A believe premiership footballers refer to this as a spit roast

Whatever can they mean?

@gunther: #135 Ja shame, the blurred vision and lemon also once made him miss the edge of a balcony.

Give him a break rob

It’s not easy watching rugby through the bottom of a him and tonic glass

The lemon gets in the way

Haskell is handy behind a camera as well as the scrum

He was expelled from school for making a porn video

@Nils: Yeah, I use to despise old Hughie but as the new breed of local commentators appeared on the scene I realised how good he actually is.
