Rugger.

Glad the Blackness won against the dirty frogs, with an improved performance.... but theres still room for more improvement coming up to the tri-nations. Italy this weekend shouldn't be too difficult but i expect them to be tough up front but out wide we should have them, thats if the rocket man Joe gets his act together. Last chance for him me thinks!!?? Also, i still would've played S Donald at 1st 5 to get some more confidence and experience, b/c there won't be as much pressure on him, but this hammy made the decision for the brains trust easier.

Bugger about big Ali too.

Frogs

Frogs 27, All Blacks 22. But..... i'm not too worried due to the team that was on the field, injuires to # 1 choice players and first test of the season. Now, if we loose again this Saturday then maybe I'll start getting nervous. But honestly I can't see that happening.

The Blackness.

Although the tri nations is a wee while away yet, the International season starts this Saturday for the AB's vs the always unknown, The French. Two tests, then one against the Italians, then its the big time. Hard to know what the first 2 games will be like??? The French are always so hard to pin down in how they are going to play, which team will turn up etc? What makes these 2 games even more interesting is the fact that theres a few key AB players missing from the startng line-up? Carter, McCaw, Rodders etc??!! We shall see how the untired lose trio will go eh? Plus the last time we played the Frogs, they cheated and kicked us out of the WRC!!
