RUGBY TESTS

I didn't see the last two either, KB, but the Mighty Blacks whalloped the English in both games so no real surprise there.

But nightmare mate, feckin nightmare; Richie McCaw has damaged his ankle and will be out for the next six weeks. Oh no. That's the Bledisloe Cup he'll miss.

The French, with a depleted team due to the Northern Hemisphere season, are fielding a half strength team against the Wallabies this Saturday.

Should be a good game.

I'm in a bit of a quandary actually. Typically I'd support anyone other than the Waallabies. (Nothing against the players but I'm just sooo over the blatant and relentless self promotion that emanates from this - mediocre at best - country).

But now their coach is the ex-Crusaders Robbie Dean so...

What to do what to do...

Bugga, bugga, bagga about Richie. Don't worry mate, I'd rather see the Wannabies win than the French. Shhhh, don't tell anybody but I'll be cheering them on. Thanks for the update.

And after that, we have the Dutch Moto GP from Assen - woohoo!

Rossi, the seven time World Champion over four classes (Hail the King), currently leads the championship, with Pedrosa just a few points behind, followed by Stoner about forty further back.

Then Lorenzo who's still recovering from two broken ankles. (Two broken ankles thank you very much - he hasn't missed a beat - that youngster has a bright future ahead).

Assen's one of the all-time great circuits.
