Just got an email from tooheys. You can win a signed Wallabies jersey by registering at their site. Cool :) Who wouldn't want that? Problem is I'd probably want to wear it, but it's one of those things you'd have to put on the wall. Say in a bar or something. I need a home bar? It could turn out to be an expensive exercise if I win the jersey.. heh.


Later!

Some of you may notice that I've not only got the Super 12 draw up for this season, but I've also been a busy little bee this evening sprucing up the place :) Natch I had to stay with the colours of my beloved Reds, but it's a whole lot brighter and nicer for 2005!

I've just been catching up on some pre-season Super 12 news. The Tahs forwards have gotten themselves into a bit of strife already; the big boys were racing the girls... er backs... on Sydney Harbour last Wednesday when the whopping big mast of the boat decided to break and fall. Luckily there were no injuries, and in true forward style apparently Phil Waugh and Rocky Elsom were oblivious to the drama unfolding around them. Read more about the sailing adventures of the Waratahs over here at Foxsports.

A story over on the QRU site almost brings tears of joy to my eyes.. Ben Tune is set to make his comeback - finally!! Yeeeha! The plan is to run him in the centres for the Reds' trial game against the Brumbies on Jan 29. I think I might have to head to that game :)

The Crusaders have appointed Richie McCaw to lead them for this Super 12 season in place of Reuben Thorne. No doubt with the Canterbury cast of thousands behind him those Jade stadium horses will be doing more than a few laps around the paddock once again this year.

I doubt any of us would not be smiling to hear the news that Jonah Lomu is planning to make his comeback to rugby as well. Just 6 months ago he underwent a kidney transplant, and is reported to want to get back into the game. That's some effort and a half! Congratz!

Cheers for now!

Okies... 2005 draw done! You can find the Super 12 2005 draw here

:)

I'm back!

I don't know about you guys, but I really miss the rugby season! There is absolutely NOTHING worth watching on the telly- well I watch some of the Zurich cup stuff, but there's cricket and tennis bore me to tears.

I've got a few things to do to get this place back into shape for Super 12 2005. First up I'm off to go and write up the Draw. The first game kicks off on February the 25th and it's between the Highlanders and the Blues in Dunedin.

There's some trial games before then though, so I'll be getting this blog up and running for the year as of now.

Will 2005 be the year of the Reds????

Boy I hope so.

Okies, off to do the draw.

Cheers
