Re: Springboks vs. England - Test 1 - Official Match Thread!
Kruger is a great pick for SA. Knows the Saints players inside out, good understanding of the rest of th England players as well. Could be a real asset for SA if they have the wit to use him correctly

When you say technical drawings, are you talking AutoCAD type stuff? And how portable do you need this to be? Yes Autocad. But not 3D modelling. More 2D stuff. Why the question about portable?

Love the Krupa - genuinely iconic, and for his time he was so far ahead of the competition it was crazy. Think Bradman, but averaging 200 to everyone else's 40 For Buddy, the ballistic stuff is ridiculously impressive, but I prefer Bolero with just the single snare Would Cobham be rated highly with...

Pirates fans at the match distinctly unhappy with the referee. And then someCymro wrote:Bedford make it two out of two in the play-offs with a last gasp win at Goldington Road over the Pirates. Brendan Burke try at the death. Pritchard keeps cool to convert and Bedford win 26-25.

Was at the Mem on Friday night, Brizz were terrible in the first half but much better in the second. Talking to supporters the team they fear in the final is Pirates, because it will become another local match and potentially Exeter all over again
