Maybe the planet's biorhythmns have been out of whack for the last week or so - things have been quite out of the ordinary from the climate to daily events. The weekend's rugby games were unusual as well.

The Brumbies only just managed to scrape in a win over the Sharks 23-20 in Canberra when Joe Roff booted a penalty goal after the full time siren had gone off. No bonus points for the Brumbies this week - only scoring two tries.

In Brisbane last night the Reds went down to the Crusaders 20-17. No doubt Elton Flatley will be kicking himself this morning for dropping the ball in the last play of the game. Doh! To rub salt into the wound Chris Latham did his hamstring, and Wendell Sailor has an injured shoulder.

My tipping proved to be pathetic once again when the Hurricanes beat the Stormers 25-19 in Cape Town. How did that happen? The Stormers failed to capitalise on scoring opportunities through poor ball handling skills. Back to training boys!!
