This is a biased look at Rugby (from a Gamma point of view...hence the fuschia) and I make no apologies for that. Go The Wallabies! Go The Brumbies!...and ouch...Stephen Larkham...

Farewell The Wallabies of Today. See The Wallabies of Tomorrow (ARC)

August 9th 2007 21:00
The Australian Rugby Championship starts today...and what better way to kick off a competition that will launch future Wallabies (maybe) than with The Wallabies of today.

....and yes, if you're a Canberrian, you will get to see this Man...you lucky thing you....

Stephen Larkham. Profile of a Legend (phwoar!)





The Wallabies are about to fly off to France...eek, this means the Rugby World Cup is only 29 days away...and this is your lance chance to see them up close and in action, before they go.

Alas, I'm not going to be in Canberra this weekend.

Many other Wallabies will be appearing at the ARC Round 1 matches all over the country plus, as stated previously, many current World Cup squad Wallabies will be playing in the first few ARC rounds, to get game time and match fitness.

Please refer to this post to get more information on the individual ARC teams.

***************************

So try to get to these matches sportsfans...and not just because this is the last time we will see Stephen Larkham on Australian soil in a Rugby capacity...but because the Australian Rugby Championship, though fraught with controversy, is a worthwhile competition and may provide the fuel to ongoing Wallabies fire.

...but...next year? That fire will not burn as bright. Not for me anyway...

Bye GorGeous. sigh...SpLendid....


George Gregan and Stephen Larkham. Brumbies. Wallabies. Men. Legends.
Well Stephen...that one has potential. I think her name's DuskDevi...

I saw an ad on TV for the new rugby competition the other day and I thought to myself, 'that's what Dusk was talking about". It was a pretty good ad too ... hopefully people will enbrace the Wallabies of tomorrow and support them.

I love the caption too.

Big hugs for a wonderful weekend

I LOVE the ads on tv for the Rugby Championship. Best sporting ad I've seen in a long time!

Did you get to the first match on Friday night (I think you're a Sydneysider, yeah?)

My hubby went for a little while, but apparently the beer queues were so long and ridiculous, he and his mate decided to watch it at Percy's (pub over the road) instead. They might have to iron out some of those teething problems!

Anyway I thought of you and thought you might have been there pretty girl

Cheers
