Helluva Test Match

Bloody hell was that one hell of a test match - by far the best live sporting event I've ever been to....still cant believe we managed to lose it - and not even get a draw! at about the 60 minute mark we were all really starting to believe that we had those damn bokke and it was all going to be level going into an epic third and final Test down the road at Ellis Park, Jo'Burg. However we lost all our shape and stopped playing rugby, eps when BOD and then Roberts went off injured.......however - and yes it my be harsh to pinpoint one player, esp in the ultimate team game but - ronan o'gara had the biggest shocker ever!! first Faurie smashed over his pathetic attempt at a tackle and then he decieded that because, and i quote from his book, 'the best flyhalf in the world' that he'd try and win the match on his own when absolutely everyone was screaming at him to kick the ball out into touch and take the draw, leaving it all to play for in the final test match! but no he went for the up and under and then, in the words of eddie butler, 'for a player who never puts it about, he chose the worse time to get physical'!

What a match though, we started so strongly and picked up from were we left off the week before, we were the only team even attempting to play any rugby, all the bokke wanted to do was kick the leather off the ball, such a shame!!

And then my main man Simon Shaw had the most immense of immense games - justify all my faith and constant banter to absolutely everyone - including Sky Sports - that he had to start!! Cheers big man, it was an absolute pleasure to watch!!

Then of course there were a few absolute tossers amongst the bok supposters - such as the chap saying very sarcastically 'oh im sooooo sorry' - i just turned to him and said at least we are good losers, where as you lot are bad winners, now fuck off! thought that was just about appropriate! its strange some of the people out here have been unbelievable nice, friendly and welcoming and then you get a few of the complete C-U-Next-Tuesday, that ruin it for everyone!

Still we had a massive lash up afterwards and I finally felt a bit better at about 5am.....apart from the hottie i was chatting up kept running away from me - obviously didnt have my top notch banter boots on!!

Anyway gotta run team - ill update u lot again this week hopefully!
