Yes… yes I do.
Unless you live in Canberra, I’ll have to post it to you.

Super Rugby AU Round 10 teams: Haylett-Petty back for Rebels, Brumbies stock up for blockbuster

Bet you a dollar… But for me the most gratifying thing about the team this week is Nic White in the starting side. I rate Joe Powell and enjoy his play but Nic White has been a stand-out in a team noted for outstanding (see what I did there?) halves such as George Gregan (of course) and Thomas Cubelli. White deserves his place among them and I’m looking forward to watching his performance this Saturday. As for Sio, I’m confident enough in his ability to perform at the level that made him a deserved Wallaby that I’m willing to put a beer on it… a middy…of light… during happy hour.

Cardboard box?!? You were lucky! …And you tell the young people of today that and they won’t believe you!

Super Rugby AU Week 10: The final countdown

Not just knowledgeable but also far less parochial than many of the Australian commentators. It might not always be so but I’ve often found them far more gracious and balanced, in victory and defeat, seemingly ready to acknowledge good play by a visiting side, to identify the errors or fault of the home team (except with Richie McCaw of course) and accept that the ref is probably doing the best that he or she can under difficult circumstances.

Three talking points from Super Rugby AU Round 9

Nothing about it is difficult to understand at all, you’ve answered your own conundrum “ Waratahs flanker Lachlan Swinton ” the answer is in the first word starting with ‘W’… in the ARU tis ever thus! Further you explain that the lack of citing means that he will be free to play in the finals should the Tahs make it therein lies the explanation. Much as I’ve liked the Force this year, recognised and acknowledged the huge effort of playing week in and week out with a team that had been cherry picked by the other states of players (and the coach) I’m praying that they don’t perform well enough this week to get their first win of the season.
