Good morning :)

Hansie's take on Round 11 is up. Have a read of Hansie's comments on rugby tours! I am inclined to agree with Hansie in that there aren't enough touring sides internationally, and sure it would be great to see more quality rugby games being taken to the people. But, yeah... the game is professional now and there's big dollars involved in just about everything related to the game and the people paying want to see returns on their investments. I don't think the clock can be turned back....

Norm Maxwell has got himself in a bit of strife. He's to appear in court later in the week on assault and threatening behaviour charges. He allegedly barged a bar doorman in Dunedin after he was asked to leave... at 4.45am. Uh.. yep. Who wouldn't be tired and emotional at that hour of the morning? Cut the guy some slack!

The Force have signed car beater and Waratah Cameron Shepherd. That's a nice pick up!

Did you know? Chris Latham was a Tah for 2 years :-)
