....well....my blog name still fits....
The Wallabies (the Australian Rugby Union team...and what I want to be when I grow up. A Wallaby. A Rugby Union player. Not a marsupial...) are playing their first match of the test (international series) season, this Saturday May 26th at Telstra Stadium in Sydney.
I was really really and I mean really looking forward to this match.
Not because it's a highlight of the season or anything like that...and really I shouldn't even be posting this post because I haven't posted any of the relevant posts leading up to this post but that's because I'm all posted out and are you still with me?
Sheesh.
You're good.

I look forward to the first match of every test season because it means...drum roll please...let's add some fanfare... the Return of the MightyLarkham Wallabies!!!
Is the Larkham strikethrough thing getting boring?

Super 14 (provincial) season is over and it's now the Titans playing field.
...and here is the tidiest Titan.....
BUT....catastrophe has struck...which is why...this week...I am over Rugby.
"minor"? "minor"??...a fricken "minor" strain and I get deprived????
...@#$%&^*.......
...there is only one other sick puppy Orbler that will understand why I got a giggle out of that...and if anyone else understands...then dayum sugah...welcome to the SPOT (Sick Puppy Orble Team!)
...hee hee...God I'm sick...
Oh good one Norton-Twerp. Because 10am is usually at Knight?????
Yeah well...that's just the effect Stephen has onme people.
Okay sportsfans...gotta run...I've got a lawn bowling ball to stroll after....

Champion Wallabies five-eighth Stephen Larkham is confident of being fit for Saturday week's second Test against Wales after being ruled out of the first tomorrow night with a minor hamstring strain.
"minor"? "minor"??...a fricken "minor" strain and I get deprived????
...@#$%&^*.......
Larkham pulled up sore after training on Wednesday night and was scratched today, handing NSW Waratahs pivot Sam Norton-Knight a call-up to start at No.10 for his Test debut.

"It's very disappointing, but I suppose this early in the season there's no point in taking any risks, and that's what it would be at this stage,'' Larkham said.
"If it was a grand final, I'd probably go out and play. But there's just no need to take that sort of risk at this stage.
"It's just a bit of a strain of the hamstring tendon. It's a little bit of an over-use injury. It's been pretty high intensity, long hours this week at training, and I've combined that with a bit too much kicking.

"So I'll be smarter for it.
"We'll reassess it on Monday but if the game was in another couple of days, I think I'd be right.''
Norton-Knight, a member of the Wallabies' 30-man squad but not picked in the 22-man team on Tuesday for Australia's first Test of 2007, got the call-up just after breakfast.
"I found out about 10am this morning,'' he said.

Oh good one Norton-Twerp. Because 10am is usually at Knight?????
"Steve was good enough to come and just run through the bits and pieces in terms of the game strategy but, yeah, I was jumping out of my skin. Very excited. It feels good.''
Yeah well...that's just the effect Stephen has on

I was seriously going to make the effort to stay up Saturday night to watch the Australia v Wales Rugby test on free-to-air TV, just to finally get to see Larkham in action ...
I know I won't be as disappointed as you are ... but I am seriously disappointed ...
And, you know as well as I do, I don't write many serious statements on Orble ... but I'm seriously disappointed ... I was so looking forward to seeing him in action ...
What am I going to do now? I may as well Google Naff Ponce and see if You-Tube has any downloads of Jonny Wilkinson ... or read about him on Wikipedia?

Well...you can make up for the disappointment by staying up late this Saturday night.
The second test match against Wales is on (played at Ballymore in Brisbane)...unfortunately delayed telecast in Adelaide...don't know why considering that they decided to have the IRB Sevens there so obviously the ARU are trying to attract Rugby attention there.
Now that's a serious statement.
Seriously funny!
mah warmth sugah...

Hmmm...no...can't say I feel the way you do when you looked at that pic....
It's not my maternal instinct that gets....aroused...
As for filthy jerseys....at one stage, I had 5 sets of Rugby uniforms to wash every saturday afternoon during our autumn/winter (Rugby season)...ranging from teeny tiny to Titan....
Ahhh the pride I felt....
I had a great weekend Lioness...
much warmth...
