This is a biased look at Rugby (from a Gamma point of view...hence the fuschia) and I make no apologies for that. Go The Wallabies! Go The Brumbies!...and ouch...Stephen Larkham...

Stephen Larkham and Mt Everest...

....other than both being at their peak (tee hee) ...share another fact in common.

Both came into their own on this day...May 29th.


Mt Everest - May 29th 1953:

Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay are the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest (and it was Norgay's birthday).


Mt Larkham - May 29th 1974

Larkham to return for second Test
Monday, May 28, 2007. 9:32pm AEST

Fly half Stephen Larkham is expected to return to the Wallabies line-up for Saturday's second Test against Wales in Brisbane.

Larkham missed Australia's 29-23 victory over the Welsh in Sydney on Saturday because of a hamstring strain, but he should win a 96th international cap in the final match of the series at Suncorp Stadium.


"It's very promising at this stage," Larkham told reporters after a workout on Monday.
"I got through 30 minutes with the team and I didn't feel it any stage through there.

"That was enough for me today and the doctor's happy with that so tomorrow we'll progress it a bit more."

If selected, Larkham will replace Sam Norton-Knight, who debuted in the last-gasp win, while world record breaking Test captain George Gregan is also set to come back into the side with Matt Giteau switching from scrum half to inside centre.

Forwards Dan Vickerman, Benn Robinson and George Smith will be elevated from the bench as coach John Connolly assesses his options ahead of the Tri-Nations and the World Cup.

Have a lovely day y'all....
