General Chat

Hello Radio Jem. Apologies as I don't feel able to join the Rugby thread,

I'm finding the situation here without my lovely husband is so very heartbreaking.
We would watch the rugby games together. He was always very patient and more than happy to explain about the rugby rules. It's not something I'm interested in now.
Too upsetting now and much to late for me to attempt to stay up and concentrate.

Aw Kandj <3 <3 <3

We will miss you, but quite understand!

I am thinking of you xxxx

I'm not quite in the spirit of this either at the moment due to problems and pressures coming from everywhere at present!

I'm very much in the need of .....

YMA O HYD! :-D

The teams are coming out!

Captains leading them out are

ELLIS JENKINS ~ WALES

PIETER-STEPH Du TROIT ~ SOUTH AFRICA


Anthems now

Just a few minutes to go until Wales take on the mighty Springboks in Washington DC!

Yes, this match is taking place in the United States of America.

And South Africa will be wanting to win this one, having lost to Wales last year!


It's the most inexperienced South African team in their history with no less than 7 new caps. Wales also has a very young side in Test Game terms.

Wales' George North has been picked to play Centre today, instead of his usual wing position.

He is very capable and I'm looking forward to see how he does tonight

Anscombe kicks the game off.

NO DETAILED COMMENTARY FROM ME TODAY.

I will post scores and things of interest :-)

TOMOS WILLIAMS 1st CAP TODAY FOR WALES

I was very impressed with Scrum-Half Tom when I first saw him playing with the Wales Under 20s a couple of years ago :-)

GARETH ANSCOMBE IS TAKING A SHOT AT A PENALTY GOAL

But from a difficult position

AND MISSED :-(

There's just 15 Months to go until the next Rugby World Cup

Both team managers are playing their newer players, giving them a chance to develop, grow and prove themselves for that great competition

A lot of scrum problems :-0

Wales have the penalty for South Africa Illegal Scrummaging after all that!

Talking to the Channel 4 Commentators now is the Wales Trojan that is ALUN-WYN JONES <3

Not an impressive game so far, it must be said! :-(

PENALTY GOAL SOUTH AFRICA

ELTON JANTJIES

WALES 0 ~ RSA 3

Allan's BLAND THREAD is doing very well, and has just overtaken me on the top of the General Chat list of topics.

Now Allan's Bland Thread is most definitely FAR from Bland..... and so THIS GAME would not even qualify in blandness to go on there! ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D

What is a game of rugby that's so dull, that it doesn't even qualify to be bland?

oooooo nooooo

Wales Winger STEFF EVANS is down and injured!

He's up again! But it's not looking too good :-(

TRY WALES ~ HALLAM AMOS

AT LAST!

Gareth Anscombe is attempting another difficult goal!

Can he convert Hallam's Try?

Yes!


WALES 7 ~ RSA 3

Each to their own, Jem ;-)

Rugby is too energetic for me; even watching it leaves me exhausted, whereas I can do bland all day :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D

Nothing energetic about this game so far! :-| :-D
