Oracle of DelphiRugby; Brimming with Test-rogen!
December 31st 2006 08:10
Whoops...kinda forgot why I am on Orble.
Got caught up in the non rugby trials and non rugby tribulations.
Got tried, not converted.
Anyyywayyy...
Next year (which is now less than 5 hours away) I am going to stick to doing what I do best...drooling over Stephen Larkham.
There I said it. Okay? I said His name.
...if rugby is the game they play in heaven, then Stephen Larkyum is a God.
Super 14 starts soon...thank goodness....real sport.
And please...even though I have sworn lifelong allegiance to the ACT Brumbies, I will be fair and provide analyses of each Super 14 game....that the Brumbies play.
Kidding.
No, actually I’m not.
First Brumbies game
03/02/07 Week 1: Chiefs v Brumbies in Hamilton, NZ
Yes, some games will be played prior to this one. Whatever.
And 2007 is World Cup Year. Yessss!
Bring the test-rogen on!
And seeing as I am far too busy focusing on the bubbles rising in my flute and mentally wandering through my wardrobe (I am great at multi tasking), figuring out what I’m going to wear tonight....I’ll let Nobody* do the talking for me...
From www.sportal.com.au
"Wallabies World Cup-winning captain John Eales has thrown his support behind the Australian team, saying they can win the World Cup despite an indifferent European tour.
Ten months out from the tournament New Zealand is the odds-on favourite to the win the 2007 World Cup. But Eales believes current form has little to do with winning a major tournament at the end of next year.
"Even though the All Blacks are far and away the best team in the world, the World Cup is not about being the best - it's about being the best at the tournament," Eales said on news24.com.
"Australia has shown they can play tournaments well and, if you reach the quarter-finals, which Australia will, you then have to win three weeks in a row and you win the World Cup."
Go The Wallabies!!
HAPPY 2007 ORBLERS!!!!

I hope you and all of your loved ones have a wonderful 2007 ...
I'll be reading your Posts ...
And, apart from making a few comments on various blogs (this one included) ...
I'll have my head down doing what I do best ... writing ...
I've got an eleven-year project I haven't finished yet ... It's the one book I truly want to finish ... The Odd Asylum. Odd? Me or the book?
Both maybe? (John Turturro, Barton Fink) ...
Maybe, definitely. More than odd. Insane. Yup. I institutionalised myself. Locked myself up in my own head. Thanks for teaching me to like it in there ... Like?
Na, I love it.

I hope you had a cracker of a new year and it wasn't too hard to find something to wear.
I'm so pleased to see you back to your rugby self ... I thought you were slacking a bit with no mentions of SL for such a long time ...
Since I have no specific allegiences in rugby, just for you I'll say "Go The Brumbys" (although, personally, I'm still waiting for England to win a game at the cricket).
Happy New Year, my MOSTEST Sis ... many big changes are just around the corner.

You saw John Eales!!!!!!
Darlin'... the fact that you could still stand is a great testament (please note blatant rugby test match reference) to you being soooo not lame.

Hope you had a great NYE Sisi...

I'd love nothing more than to not moderate myself one iota ... not one jot, dot or tittle ...
But I have to ...
It was never my desire to live in a world of free speech where I was the only one not allowed to voice my opinion ...
But I have to ...

At a NYE party I was at, talk turned to the World Cup. Not surprisingly the kiwi in the group believed that the All Blacks were the team to beat. Though he did finally concede that it's highly likely that while they're playing brilliantly at the moment, they will choke when the World Cup comes round. Everyone else seemed to think that France was the team to beat. I couldn't get anyone to back the Wallabies. That's just un-Australian if you ask me!

Rugby World Cup 2007
The All Blacks are always the team to beat...until they get beaten.
As for Les Bleus....merde-iocre!
It's ok KW...we knew Gregan would get the medal and we know The Wallabies shall reign supreme...will hail supreme...will shine supreme...
In that way...we're fair weather fans.
Go The Wallabies!
May your world cup overfloweth in 2007 Kylie.
