Yeah, yeah. I didn't post the Week 4 Super 14 results...blah, blah...it doesn't matter...
So what if the Australian teams aren't doing so well when normally we dominate this series?
So what if we totally suck and it's Rugby World Cup Year?
It's strategy people.
We're just softening the others for the Bill*....

A Hurricane landed on him. Literally.
Larkham was at the bottom of a pile-up of Hurricane Forwards, in the closing stages of the first half.
Man that he is, he continued playing but didn't come back for the second half.
That was the end of mypleasure viewing.
...because "serious" would be, shoulder really f**ked.
Okay. Maybe that last line is a product of my imagination Switching Hour typing...

Flyhalf Stephen Larkham is expected to be out of the Brumbies' line-up for three weeks after being cleared of a fracture in his upper chest.
The gifted playmaker suffered a subluxed sternoclavicular joint* during the Brumbies' 11-10 Super 14 loss to the Hurricanes in Wellington on Friday night.

He underwent a CT scan on Monday morning that cleared him of any fractures in the joint and hopes to be available to take on the Sharks in Durban on March 24.
"I got tackled by Tana (Umaga), my shoulder was down and it got jammed," he said in a team statement.
"It wasn't particularly painful (at the time) but I knew that something was wrong straight away.
"I'm relieved that the injury's not as serious as it could be.

My suggestion? Run to the hospital and give him a hot oil massage. Not too hot, though!

Sorry...that should have been...
Injury...especially a Larkham injury...is part of the Australian Rugby strategic warfare campaign pre World Cup.
See, if the opposition thinks we suck (technical term) they'll underestimate the Power of the Larkham Side...
Actually, the Natal Sharks are a different team to the Sharks.
Yes, the both play Rugby but for different comps.
Yes it's confusing.
The Natal Sharks play for the Currie Cup and the Sharks are a Super 14 team.
Kinda like bananas.
...you can eat bananas or you can be bananas.
...the Natal Sharks were once called The Banana Boys.
Hope you're well Ash...good to see you...

I certainly hope Larkham is unjammed soon.
My Rugby season depends on it.
Gee. I am so compasionate.
...seriously though...Larkham's body...he truly is Steve Larkham; The Break-onic Man.
He's broken that shoulder before.
Sometimes it's hard to carry the weight of expectation.
Not mine!
I'm a fan through sick and sin (bin).
Hope your husband's shoulder heals soon Lilla.
Thanks for coming by...

I am sorry that in this time of your woe I can do no more than to leave but a few words.
And hope that he'll get better, and that right soon.

I was reading e-NORM-ous's quips ... and your banter with him ... Have you ever considered taking a lead from Norm, and setting up a blog devoted to Larkham Art?
