Re: All Blacks: Post mortem

Watched the AB-England semi again. The first half was the highest quality of rugby I can remember seeing, especially the electric first 20 minutes. Both sides attack well, defend well. I was particularly struck by the quality of the breakdown work by both sides. Both sides were very good at backing...

Re: Tuesdays gone...Skynyrd...

Been a Skynyrd fan since the late 80's. That's Johnny leading that after Ronnie's death. That's a cool arrangement. Has done a good job with the band and they still put on a great show.

Ballad of Curtis Loewe is one of my favourite Skynyrd ballads.

The quickest of Googles suggests that $8000 USD a week. Not too shabby. Even if it doesn't pan out there, he'd get a few people talking / some video and be able to market to another franchise? If he didn't want to return to rugby at all and the NFL didn't work out - especially hearing that he can c...
