Re: Listen to your body
Discharged from hospital yesterday and told to be a good boy and stay at home doing SFA for the next two weeks. Bloody hell it is lovely to be back home. Maybe just a bit of gentle walking, and/or some isometric exercises? I am not an authority, but I am pretty sure it would be better to do somethi...

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
When my eldest was in U12 they got this new coach in and he made them do a prayer circle before and after every training session and game. Weird. That is weird. Lots of Pasifika lads there? Or more of your Christian Brothers oldskool? Nah, almost all Pasifika or Kiwis. The coach who I first saw doi...

Re: Pushing 80 now
Is that true? So not the NZ rivalry... but rather Fijian tours saved the day? To be fair.. they probably were fantastic to watch. Did they play Australia as well? And did they win? This is back in the days when rugby was a pretty slow game, and as a sport was up against league which was overwhelmin...

Mungo Mark has been dropped from the Tahs squad for their game this week... Mentally checked out before the season began. Is it just me or has his form been poor this year? He was one of the best players in Australia in the previous couple of years and then he went downhill after signing with Mungo...

Re: Force v Reds
The Reds were terrible, almost without exception.
Great to see another NSW reject in Tizzano doing well. Not to mention Eastwood product Nick White.
And Donaldson was outstanding. HMP did okay when he came on, but it was all over by then.
Simon Cron shows why he is one of our best coaches.
