    @CoachPete(CoachPete)-4: Yep, back to the porn, albeit a bit early as the wife is still around. Looking forward to some nice insightful rugby discussion with Black Panther and his Kiwi cronies.

    @kwas(kwas)-5:
    Civil debates with the Kiwis are great, and for most part they are very knowledgeable
    I dont enjoy the fighting
    I believe everyone should have an opinion and if its not mine thats ok
    I dont accept it if one person believes his (or her ) opinion is right

    @CoachPete(CoachPete)-6: Yep, I agree, coach. The constant drivel and mindless fighting from the likes of Skopskiet, Black Panther, ET, etc. simply pushes away many bloggers that only want to discuss the game of rugby.

    Are you watching the games out of the States? I am in Canada and luckily the games are shown on the local telly.

    @CoachPete(CoachPete)-7: Yes, pinch of salt, alright. But the efforts of some bloggers constantly soil every thread that opens on this site.

    @CoachPete(CoachPete)-12: Yep, Calgary is a great place for raising kids and lots of job opportunities. I have 2 little ones and the system here works well for everyone. Very cold though, although we cooked at 31C today. Much prefer the moderate climate of San Francisco.

    Another option for highlights/full matches is to download expat shield (which will give you a UK IP address when you use it) and then watch the games on ITV’s website.

    The commentary may well drive you insane though.

Keo.co.za has always promoted uncensored views, but has never tolerated racist or crass outbursts. Come on guys and girls. If you can't moderate yourselves or each other then I am going to be forced to regulate the posts and enforce a registration process for comments. The choice is yours.
