...grrr...
From a Brumby to a Wallaby...and now a Ram. a Black Ram.
Finally. The news we've all been waiting for.
No. Petrol isn't .50c/l nor has the whaling ceased.
The World's Greatest Flyhalf, Stephen Larkham announced yesterday that he has signed a three-year contract to play for Tokyo club Ricoh Black Rams.
Larkham said;
No. He won't be singing that Vapors song. And no. That Vapors song doesn't mean what you think it means. That story was just a wank.
Larkham also said;
Larkham's magnificent, marvellous, incredible, brilliant, 102 international test career ended with a whimper. Or rather limper. Larkham was sidelined with a knee injury for most of the Wallabies stay at the RWC.
How many of us will wonder 'til yonder what the outcome of the Wallabies v England QF match would have been, if Larkham played?
Oh well. No use crying over spilled Bill...
This move came after Larkham's (lucrative yet 3rd best offer...it wasn't about the money) contract with Edinburgh fell through when the club was taken over by administrators appointed by the Scotland Rugby Union.
Larkham's agent, Jason Macarthur confirmed that compensation would be sought against the former owners and administrators of Edinburgh.
Rightly so. Bankrupt the b**tards (I don't mean that, I'm just being melodramatic). BUT it is because of their ignoble behaviour that Larkham -only the world's Greatest Flyhalf and one of the most brilliant Rugby players ever- will never be seen in a kilt.
That and the fact that Larkham -only the World's etc, etc- had to practically beg Rugby clubs to take him.
The Edinburgh deal fell through and that was bad enough...but it fell through a a time when the Clubs had spent their budget and signed their stars...and Larkham was left out of the loop. With a limp. Bad timing isn't just a fake Rolex.
Anyway...this is a great thing for Japanese Rugby. Larkham is now Japanese Rugby's most valuable player.
Macarthur also said;
So sportsfans...looks like we'll be turning Japanese this year.
And NO. I'm not referring to what you think that song means (it doesn't)...but dayamn...that photo...

Larkham said;
I've always wanted to play rugby in Japan, and now get the chance to do so a little earlier than expected
My family is very excited by the opportunity to live in Tokyo and I am looking forward to playing for Ricoh.

I'm currently enjoying the longest rest of my rugby career and I'm feeling mentally and physically refreshed.

Stephen's decision is a huge coup for Japanese rugby and its growing fan base
