Stephen Larkham & Carlos Spencer: Rugby hyperTENsion!
January 31st 2008 22:00
Was just doing a usual Rugby worldwide search (aka what's Stephen Larkham doing today? Doling out advice? Training? Being wise? Showering... the pretenders how it's done?...) when I found this clip from a long long time ago...
This happened during the (Aug 7th) 2004 2nd Bledisloe Cup match, played in Sydney and was a thing of beauty. Carlos Spencer was the flyhalf (#10) for the All Blacks at that time and is currently running a department store in partnership with a Marx brother.
Please don't quote me. Yes I made it up. No it's not that funny. Yes I'm an idiot. No I don't know where Carlos is now.
Sportsfans will recall that Spencer's nickname around this time was King Carlos. shaKing Carlos more like it.
Stephen: "what's at stake here Carlos?"
Carlos (cowering): "My tenderloin?"
*******
Actually I've been waiting for this clip to surface and I don't really know why it's surfaced now, almost 4 years later but it has. Yay for my lazy ass. I know I have this match on tape. I've watched this bit many times. What does this say about me? Huh? What? I'm a peaceful gal. Ask my boxing trainer.
The other 2 getting into it are (current) AB lock Ali Williams and (then) Wallaby lock Justin Harrisson. The only reason they got into it was because locks are always the first to bolt into a fight. They're not very low key...and Ali thinks he's the Greatest.
It was strange to see Larkham lose his famous cool like that. Admittedly what he did was slightly annoying...that not releasing the ball when in touch thing but Carlos shoved him. The big naff ponce pansy boy.
Of course Larkham reacted the way he did but get this...prior to this little altercation, all bets would have been on Carlos if the question had been 'Who Would Win The Flyhalfweight Belt?'
Apparently Carlos grew up in a 'tough' area so was considered...well...tough. Ha.
Who's your daddy now Carlos?
The Wallabies won this match 23-18.
Alas, we didn't win the Bledisloe as the All Slacks (whoops. sorry. typo.) won it in '03 and we needed to win both Bledisloe matches and we lost the first one 7-16.
Oh well. The Bledisloe Cup isn't everything. And I don't write much about Stephen Larkham.
