Fingers getting Busy.
Old Man River Muliana (99 tests) Scores after 25 metre straight run in unopposed. Draw and pass from Guildford.
Slade converts. 2/4 conversions 1/1 PKs.
32-3 to the black team. 30 minutes gone 1st half.
Oh dear for the Lumberjacks, Alphabets VDMerwe has been subbed with ankle injury. Canada now doomed. He was head and shoulders above the rest of the team.

Everytime Marto urinates, he feels a twat.
I tell you what, SBW is looking fantastic in the RWC.
He's definitely showing himself to be a worthy member of the ABs best 22.

Old Man River repays the Kid Guildford with a try, sidestep and a bit of work for the kid to do from 22 meters out.
SBW found the gap in NZRT 22 and dabbed ahead a little grubber for Old Man river.
Slade missed conversion. getting plenty of practice.
Darkness 37 - Lumberjacks - 3. 35 minutes gone.

Take that say the Darkness.
Jimmy Cowan in next to the sticks. SBW set Conrad Smith into gap, simple pass to #9 to stroll over next to the post. Slade convert.
Black 44 Red 15. 5 minutes 2nd half.
Sheeps Dagg off with a limp. Toeava on.
Handling a bit bad of late - Rain perhaps.
Update:
Slade limping. May not be too big an issue, but kiwis would be very very very worried. Both Ends (Wee Poo) warming up. 49 minutes.
11 Canada (McKenzie) reminds me of Jason Akermanis.
Both Ends is on now. Old Man River is off. Both Ends to 10, Slade to wing. Toeava to 15.
Jerome (Chuck Norris) kaino off the back of attacking scrum for a meat pie. Featus Slade slots the 2 points.
51 Black - Red 15.
Featus Slade looking very limpy. 52 minutes 2nd 1/2

You called it right. Ellis on for Cowan.
How good is this?
Slade (wing off) Thorne (2nd row on).
VVito to wing, Whitelock to flanker, Thorne to 2nd row.
Has R Deans been advising game day managers?

Slade off injured, Vito to the wing. Looks precautionary, but at this rate we'll be calling up Tony Brown.
