And Here's The Rest...Super 14 Week 12 Results
April 23rd 2007 07:42
I will say this about the Waratahs...just when one has totally relegated them to the scrap heap...they come up fighting.
Okay...maybe they come up a little too late to actually survive but they don't die quietly.
Woeful match...except for the last 10 minutes...
Highlanders 26
Tries: Waqaseduadua, Evans, Kawau
Conversions: Evans (1)
Pen Goals: Evans (3)
Waratahs 25
Tries: Hewat (2), Holmes
Goal: Hewat (2)
Pen Goals: Hewat (2)
I have to say this.
If Peter Hewat (Waratahs #15 Fullback) does not get picked for the Wallabies squad this year...one has to ask...which official's wife is he sleeping with????
He is in a class of his own. Actually....Hewat belongs with the Brumbies.
(The Funny thing about The Brumbies...majority of them are from NSW...NSW cannot hold on to their talent...no...they let them go...they would much rather recruit league players...)
Speaking of belonging with The Brumbies...the other class act of the night was Josh Holmes (Tahs # 9 scrumhalf and his debut match).
This youngster was brilliant and guess what?...he's going to The Brumbies next year, which makes him a very smart rookie...with Gregan (#9 scrumhalf Brumbies and Wallabies) retiring from Australian Rugby this year, the Brumbies will need someone to fill his humongous shoes.
And I'm getting old now.
Rocky Elsom (Tahs lock and stand in Captain) was brilliant. His work rate is unmatched and he may not have natural talent but he's a mongrel and he fights for that ball and he never says die.
I'm sure he's like to kill some of his teammates...especially the Backs...but he manages to restrain himself.
All the Waratahs Forwards worked hard.
Al Baxter (#3 prop), David Lyons (#8) and Adam Freir (replacement hooker) all proved deserving of a Wallabies jersey because lest we forget...there is a Rugby World Cup on this year and only 15 jerseys up for grabs.
Well, there's more but only the First 15 really count.
The Highlanders sucked.
They played really well.
They saw all the holes the Tahs left open and they seized them. They forced mistakes and they used them to their advantage. Then they got complacent. And that's when the Waratahs decided to wake up.
Anton Oliver (High #2 hooker) is so not a pretty man but damn...he's been around a long time and he's a workhorse. Prick.
I don't really like saying anything nice about All Black players but...he's a really nice guy, very erudite, very humble. Prick.
And. What. The. HELL. Was. This?????
This bunch of freakin' idiots in the stadium wearing what looked like black mops on their heads and red t-shirts(?) as a thank you to Lote Tuqiri.
Okay, I get the black mops, I don't give a shit about the red t-shirts but I DO NOT GET "thank you".
Thank you??? For staying on in Rugby?? Lote? Dude? Do you relise that if you had left, we would have thanked you with praises and presents?
You stay and this is what you get.
Black mops and red (wtf?) t-shirts.
Best Soundbyte of the night, during the 73rd minute as a scrum was being set;
And the crowd went silent. In disbelief.
Refs are idiots.

I'm so astounded by this I can't write.
Now they decide to win a match.
Sheesh.
I'm done.

Even when you're discussing a game involving two non-Brumbies teams, you still manage to get plenty of favourable Brumbies comments in.
It's the sign of a great sports reporter, you know.
Great report as always. I especially loved this ...
They played really well.
Great comment.

I agree with Andrea ...
My favourite line is this:
That is such Aussie, sporting, blokey, piss-take humour. (That is a compliment by the way, because it's one of my favourite forms of humour (Sarcasm tinged with caustic wit) ...

Comment by David
I just love your love of words. And the way you play with them ...
Causticism (or being sarcaustic), is so much better than criticism ...
