I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Julian Huxley. That great little pretty boy of a nothing Fullback has gone and injured himself.
Not with dignity on field. Nooooo. That would require some movement and action on his part.
from Rugby Heaven
Sources say that Huxley saw what looked to be a hulking man dressed in all black sticking his tongue out and running towards him.
Huxley then squealed, ran the other way, looked for a cup that he could write Bledisloe on, threw it over his shoulder, kicked what looked like a ball but was actually his own head and then fell to pieces.
Please note these sources aren't that reliable because I made them up. Good story though.
Yes this could be code for a champagne bottle pointed in the wrong direction.
Why Connolly is disappointed is a mystery seeing as he puts Huxley in a position he should not have been in, all the time. #15 of the Green and Gold.
Houston we have a problem. A previous post jumped the gun. Latham is not quite ready for an All Gold and Green over All Black rampage. Yes David you were right.
Good option. Not a new one. Could have been optioned from the start. Ashley-Cooper has proved his right to be on a run on side.
Okay now, this would have been a bit unfair.
Huxley now has to live with the ribbing of his teammates, which is punishment enough.
I know you think I'm being harsh and believe me I know I am.... BUT...I have never been a fan of Huxley's. Not when he played schoolboy rugby, not when he played Colts, not when h played club and certainly not when he played for the MIGHTY BRUMBIES.
Huxley is a lightweight and he freezes in the face of adversity.
Sure we have had no choice with Latham out and me deep in nisery...huh?...but there are many other players far more desrving like for instance Ashley-Cooper, Gene Fairbanks and....PETER HEWAT or MATTHEW BURKE.
Things like this happen and it could have happened to anyone and although I did laugh a little...and positively hurt myself 'quoting my sources'...I am not really one to take pleasure out of others misfortune and pain.
Not even of those I intensely dislike and would like to beat the crap out of.
Schadenfreude is not my scene. I cry when I stick those pins in.....oh eek that is so not Hindu of me...

Tomfoolery puts Huxley out of decider

Wallabies fullback Julian Huxley has been ruled out of the Bledisloe Cup and Tri Nations decider on Saturday after being injured at a party following the Brumbies' presentation night on the weekend.
Sources say that Huxley saw what looked to be a hulking man dressed in all black sticking his tongue out and running towards him.
Huxley then squealed, ran the other way, looked for a cup that he could write Bledisloe on, threw it over his shoulder, kicked what looked like a ball but was actually his own head and then fell to pieces.
Please note these sources aren't that reliable because I made them up. Good story though.
Huxley sustained a cork to his left quad when tackled at the "after-party" to the Canberra reception by Brumbies back Gene Fairbanks.
Yes this could be code for a champagne bottle pointed in the wrong direction.
Wallabies coach John Connolly said Huxley was the victim of tomfoolery, but admitted he was disappointed Huxley put himself in such a position.
Why Connolly is disappointed is a mystery seeing as he puts Huxley in a position he should not have been in, all the time. #15 of the Green and Gold.
Huxley's misfortune places pressure on Connolly to call up Chris Latham to play after his return from a knee reconstruction.
Houston we have a problem. A previous post jumped the gun. Latham is not quite ready for an All Gold and Green over All Black rampage. Yes David you were right.
The option, said Connolly, would be to slot Adam Ashley-Cooper into the No.15 slot.
Good option. Not a new one. Could have been optioned from the start. Ashley-Cooper has proved his right to be on a run on side.
Connolly admitted he was disappointed by the manner of the injury but ruled out any disciplinary action against Huxley, who has played all six of Australia's Tests this year in Latham's absence.
Okay now, this would have been a bit unfair.
Huxley now has to live with the ribbing of his teammates, which is punishment enough.
Connolly said selectors were yet to decide on their fullback to face the All Blacks and will announce his team tomorrow.

AND what the bloomin' hell does Julian Huxley (Brumbies #15 fullback) think he's doing??
I thought he was playing well until DDH (that would be DuskDevi Husband...."my husband" just starts getting all QE2 like...) pointed out one little fact.
Julian Huxley does not play Rugby.
He kicks his way out of it. It's lazy play. He doesn't run with the ball, he doesn't tackle much, he doesn't like to get tackled (freakin' backs) and he gets 'scared' when it comes to him getting crunched.
When Larkham was injured Huxley took his place at #10 (flyhalf) and by all accounts he was good at this position and yes, he is good at what he does....kicking....but....I just took a quick look at his player statistics as flyhalf and his kick/pass/run ratio is something like this - 100/20/5.
Well it's not but you get the picture.

if only you used your powers for evil, not good.
Join with me, let us end this useless conflict, together, we could topple the Emporer and rule the galaxy.....
(yes, Rugby would be made the intergalactic game of choice and my cloning tanks could produce as many Larkhams as you want. Okay, maybe not as many, but I am pretty sure we could get to half. A third at worst.)

I don't feel as harshly as you but...I do agree Ashley-Cooper made some very immature and rash decisions.
In his defense, he tried...but at Titan test level...one doesn't try unless one intends to score...
He is young and inexperienced and he was only there because we had no choice.
It's a terrible situation the Wallabies coaching staff and selectors have put the team in.
...this close to RWC...to not have a plethora of choice...for fullback and flyhalf...oh man...
I don't believe Huxley is the right choice. Latham is the only choice...unless we bring back Burke.
Anyway. I never say die. Only the hopeless give up hope.
Thank you for your comment.
