An eventful life right to the end and the Bradman of spin bowling.

Re: Make my sons Springboks best - SBW

You sound like a Japie and will be very lucky to even watch them play in the NRL given RSA is the only major rugby nation where Rugby League doesn't even really exist. You can thank the late great Doc Craven for this btw.

Re: Best long passers of a rugby ball?

on a good day Quade Cooper has a lovely long pass. Historically i recall a person that only played rugby as a child then went to League who was a trained butcher called Walter E Lewis from Queensland being excellent at this.

Knew going out to the Olympic Stadium for the Semi in 03 that the AB's would struggle at 28 degrees just like we do in cold and rainy NZ and was right. Going to be hotter tonight in Newy :D Got to know when to back the underdog and those $8.50 odds on the Pumas are very tempting.
