Batten Down the Hatches

What a sporting weekend.

I will tell you about mine later in the week. It was good, real good.

But hats must come off The Sharks, they finally won the Currie Cup again. Tony Watson ran in the corner, no sorry it was Francois " I cant kick a penalty if its in the other teams half " Steyn.

All I can say is thank heavens the Bulls did'nt win. Its more the mentality that bothers me. I pity the fool's outside that The Tank who ran out of Cream Soda, there must have been alot of pissing on each other. Things the buggers love to get up too. Anyway the Free State A team have won another Currie Cup, we are currently assembling the B team down here so dont laugh too loudly.

The other notable on this weekend was Liverpool going top of the Premiership with a hard fought win over Chelski. Along with the win they broke a very impressive home unbeaten streak spanning way into Jose Moaurinho's term as coach. Ah shame.

Now some of you will note an earlier article of mine when Earl Roses was playing some pretty good rugby amongst some pretty average teams. I said steady on when people were talking Bok cap and when the Currie Cup temperature was turned up, excuse me, but the Roses wilted under the pressure did'nt they. Coach Loffie was quick to point out that while Roses was a good player he still needed 12 months in the position. Cue our beloved Maestro, Peiter Div, who goes and selects him on the back of all this. Ring a ring rosie, we all fall down...

Finally those who know US sports will know the Phillies are on the brink of the World Series, they play tonight and if they can win they will be heroes. Philly has'nt won a major trophy in any of the big four sports since 1983. That's before Tony Watson scored for Natal.

I will keep you posted.

Have a great week
