Fellow stand members. First of all, good game of rugby in Wellington yesterday between the ‘world champs’ and the chokers. Good result for world rugby I thought as the ‘champs’ are a one dimensional outfit that are very cynical off the ball and use the smash approach. Further showed that Butch James is a joke at flyhalf and Steyn surely has to come in for next weekend. As for the chokers, they did well. They more then matched the ‘champs’ up front and also in the loose. However they lose Brad Thorn for next week due to his alledged spear tackle on Smit. Not sure who will come in but next week again be close but the ABs should make it number 31 wins at home on the bounce. Shame they can’t win a world cup!
Big game of tennis this afternoon weather permitting. My Nadal and no final prediction has been blown to pieces. Perhaps is Murray had shown some heart he could have derailed him but in all honesty the two best players are playing the final. My pick is Roger. Class is permanent, form is temporary.
Looking ahead this week the first test at Lords begins. Will be interesting however with the grey weather that has hit London England they should be worried. Messers Steyn and Co will be loving the seam and swing. Will also be good for Siddo and Jimmy. Will Micky Vaughn get some runs? Will KP be able to keep his mouth shut in the build up? Who knows but looking forward to seeing some quality test cricket.
