I don't care too much now for the Magner's and the Guinness premiertship because, as you all know, it will boil down to the same old teams....always does always will.
A long time ago when the Boers first infiltrated bigtime the Sracens I said they were the team to beat. Still do. Of course, the Leicester Tigers and probably Wasps but I am still going to ride out London Irish.
If you think that there is any conclusive evidence after two matches in the S14 I suggest you down a few, quite a few , pint of plain.
It's frigging impossible to determine who is going to win the competition but the teams to beat are all Kiwis from jump street and I include the Highlanders in the equation.
The Reds are a bit like the Gwent Dragons; they can't hold on and the two big Aussie sides, the Brumbies and Tahs, are in some desperate need of a tune up, at least by the seventh match if they hope to contend.
As fopr the South Africans, well, I suppose the tean to beat is the Bulls but I think the Cheetahs and the Stormers may well be the surprises. Forget about the Lions and keep your eyes on the Sharks. The Sharks are the Toulon of the S14 and all you have to do is look at Racing Metro, Stade Francais and Toulon in the T14 to see that money , while most handy, in the hands of the ignorant is a Xmas gift waiting to be opened.
There are those, like my wife , who say that money can't buy everything. I always stop her mid -sentence and demand that "please allow me to find that out for myself."
I wish I wqere doling out the contracts. So far the moves of Goode and Cipriani are bigger payoffs than Sonny Bill Williams and Mark Gasnier.
Oh yea. count me out of the Craig Gower Hall of Fame. I think Nick Mallett misappropriated him for the Azzurri in the 6N.
I'm all over the place today after just marrying off a daughter yesterday. And I am broke too. I now have to be careful with my money. The function depleted my war chest. Why is everybody drinking wine and the spirits? What happened to a pint of plain?
