Good morning!

Hansie's tips for Round 7 are up! I, as usual, will put mine up tomorrow. I must say my confidence is shattered after only picking one lousy winner last weekend. Ack!

Nathan Sharpe... going going gone! To Perth that is next season. He'll pick up close to $2m for his three year deal with the Perth Super 14 team. Well, you can't blame him for taking it! The Reds fear now that Shape will lead a mass exodus to Western Australia. I wonder how many of the Reds players will be stopping off in Perth on their way home from SA? Sharpe has stood himself down as Reds' captain, and now John Roe has been asked to fulfil the role. Three captains in 24 hours....

English rugby has signed a sweet deal as well with Guinness agreeing to throw in $49.1m (that's a lot of dosh) into the domestic rugby comp over four years. Wish they'd throw me a spare mill or two - I'd even drink guinness for that :)

Later!
