Looks like Australia was facing a loss until the Springoks' Habana was sin-binned, whatever that means (sent to the penalty box??).

Yep, penalty box. that let the Aussies get the surprise win. New Zealand beat Argentina in Wellington and the only exciting thing that happened was a 25 year girl ran out on the pitch naked.

Well, Frank, there's certainly nothing wrong with that! I would be the last to cry "bad form!" unless she was 5'2" and 180. If Scriptus had been there, we would have had to either hold him down or administer nitro.

Getting a yellow card means 10 minutes in the bin and there seem to be quite a lot been thrown around this year.
As for the woman streaker, she wasnt all that flash.

SSShhh! Dammit!

when i hunt at Karl Stumpfe's Sikunga camp in the Caprivi, we always watch the rugby matches( he has sat tv for just that reason and it is about the only time the tv is turned on). i have learned a lot about the game and come to enjoy it immensely. it seems that Curry Cup matches and world cup qualifiers are always occurring about the time of my visits. it's a real hoot during the Curry Cup as Karl and the camp manager support 1 team and another PH( Fred) and a visiting SA client support another!. i am the neutral party

All Blacks vs Springboks this weekend. No trophy up for grabs but it will be a rough and tough game for sure.

too bad it won't be broadcast here
