The ‘couch experts’ out there in Australia have massive televisions, booming surround sound and watch just as much sport as the selectors or so called ‘expert’ commentators.
Most sport fans spread their joy for many sports but always have one or two they consider themselves in love with.
They feel like they are part of the action, endure the sport’s ups and downs and don’t want to see it in any harm.
I grew up playing rugby union, cricket and football and was most fond for them in that order.
But I have fallen out with rugby, and we hardly even speak any more.
Like others who dated her before, I grew tired of penalty shootouts by quality kickers and haven’t seen running rugby in years.
She’s a shade of her former self, especially since cohorting with a Kiwi lover who has destroyed her image.
Michael Cheika has taken her off my hands, he’s trying to get some energy and fizz back in the sport and good luck to him.
I implore him to continue to buck the trends of world rugby and hopefully some of the other coaches/rugby organisations may follow him.
Someone is going to have to point out to those prudes in the northern hemisphere competitions, as well as within our national ranks, just how good rugby looks these days at the Waratahs.
I really hope Cheika has a long-lasting love and can change the way it is admired around the world.
I was watching the Brumbies-Reds game on Saturday evening and it was quite a labor-intensive early season game.
I am not expecting mistake-free footy at this time of the year but I am at least hoping for teams to not continually kick away possession and hope for penalties. I’d fallen asleep by the time the late tries came.
For rugby fans out there I put out this public warning:
Don’t get comfy in that lavish couch. Don’t turn down the booming subwoofer or turn off the light, because rugby is that boring at present she will put you to sleep and I’m not sure she has that special touch to get you up and going again.
If you have seen rugby looking good and showing off her skills lately, let me know and I will make a comment or two.
Love to hear what your thoughts on the upcoming Super Rugby season are and who your predictions for the winner are.
