TRI NATIONS TIME AGAIN -- WOOHOO!

From the home of the World Champions, the Springboks. They take on the Mighty Blacks, who, as it happens, are fielding a squad of almost new talent (eight new players debuting).

This will be very interesting. The Boks as far as I know are themselves fielding their usual team with probably a few minor changes.

But the Blacks have their apparent secret weapon - the spectacular Richie McCaw.

Let the battle commence.

Wonder what was goin' on with Carter. He was missin' a lot.

Dan hasn't been the same since he came back from injury.

I was impressed with Kev. He can run fast for a hooker, throws straight in line outs and scores a try almost every time he is on. Great impact player. Wonder why they don't use him more often

Hmmm...well, they better sort it out as he's been a game winner for quite a while.

Mealamu's always been a hard worker on the team. Just like McCaw who was everywhere last night.

Dean's men v's the Boks next week. I'll be able to watch from the comfort of my sofa, thankfully (keeps me from the plebs at the bar).

I reckon McCaw has a twin brother on the field with him cause he was everywhere.

Woohoo! MB's from the comfort of the sofa.

Oh wait, Austrailia/SA. Better than nothing I suppose, hehe!

The Boks'll be keen to redeem themselves at home after being beaten for a duck.

Several times the Blacks repelled them right on the try line.

Impressive.

It's not on til 0200 though, coz of the bloody olympics.

Bloody Olympics!

I'll keep my happy dancing to myself until you've seen it.

The only consolation is that Australia are getting beaten in both gold medals and overall medals by, wait for it, the Poms.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Man they hate that!

KB said...

Woohoo! Surprised they are showing other countries medal triumphs, hehe!

Meantime during all this lovey-dovey Olympic spirit, China continues to violate human rights. But sure, the Olympics are on - let's all just sweep it under the carpet.

Fuckin' slopes.
