World cup warm ups and all that

I have been away for a while and for that I am truly sorry – liots going on but none of it with rugby but with the kick off of the tri nations rugbyathon last week and some sort of action on selection here in Wales maybe we have some news to look at.

Southern Hemisphere
Last week the Ozzies redeemed themselves a little after being hauled over by Samoa by handing out a hiding to Lethal Weapon two baddies South Africa albeit the ones who:

1: wanted to play
2: selected to play by lievrementalesque coach de Villiers
3: Actually had a passport

The score says 39-20 but the reality is that South Africa were never really in it.

The All Blacks tumfed Fiji 60-14 with most commentators talking about how rusty the Kiwis were. It says a lot for a team that can win by that much while being rusty – Wales will come in their pants to beat them by 5 when being red hot come the World cup. While the score must have been disappointing, it also must have helped the former cannibals (not racist – fact) that they managed to keep all their players on the field since the last time they ran out they finished the game with 13 players, most of their team having lost it and started bending anybody within 5 metres of them.

This morning or evening or afternoon depending on where you are reading this, The All Blacks added more misery on the fun loving and laughter filled springbok supporters. 40-7 the score and Dan Carter the person who could turn water into wine and then walk on it has retaken the international points tally from Jonny Wilkinson. The list is as follows:
Dan Carter
Jonny Wilkinson
Neil Jenkins

Three great players but in a game of snog, shag, push off a cliff, it seems that Neil Jenkins’ face would be even more out of a place after a terrible fall……………..

Above: I am sorry Neil-make your way to the cliffs and i will be with you once i have shagged young Carter here
