Good morning!

Well my smugness over my tipping lasted until the Brumbies played the Sharks in Durban. The Sharks won comfortably 36 - 24. Bugger! I had thought that the kerfuffle with the sacking of Shark's coach Kevin Putt during the week and the Sharks dismal losses thus far in Super 2005 meant they had about as much chance as winning as a three legged rottweiler in a greyhound race. The Shark's hero was their scrumhalf Ruan Pienaarscored who posted an individual 21 points.

At least the Waratahs had a good win :)

You can find Hansie's wrap up of Round 5 over here. I was just reading his comments about the 'man of the match' award. It is bit of a joke most of the time - and there are a lot of players in the engine room who don't get noticed. I think they're called forwards.. heh :)

Craig from Cairns picked all the winners in Round 5 - so he's our winner this week. Smarty pants!! <--- I'm just jealous :) Anyway Craig, drop me an email and I'll send out your $5 scratchie.

Here's the Super 12 Points Ladder as at the end of Round 5. The Tahs are clear leaders on 24 points, the Brumbies 6 points behind in second place. The Sharks' win got them off the bottom of the ladder, where the Chiefs now sit on 4 points.

Mat Rogers has revealed too much information for my liking - but if you want to know what's going on in his personal life you can read all about it over here. The abridged version of the story is: he's been drinking too much and it's contributed to his marriage breakdown and affected his public image so he's going to give up the grog.

Hope the Easter bunny was good to everyone yesterday :)
