Everybody knew that Ruan Pienaar is a star in the making.
The question was always a positional one, with the laaitie preffering to play at half-back, even though he can play across the entire back line.
Judging from recent perfomances, especially yesterday’s master-class against (a rather lethargic) England, I reckon he’s found his true calling at fly-half.
I can’t help comparing him to that other great outside half who started his international career at scrum-half - Stephen Larkham.
This boy’s career is gonna be Legend. Ary.
… with myself on this long, long weekend? The prospect of sitting on my arse until Wednesday is pretty attractive, since I CANnot afford to go away on holiday!
Oh well, there’s beers in the fridge, sport on the telly and a pretty girl to rub my (ever-expanding) belly. I reckon I’ll make a weekend of it, then.
Also, I decided (again) to quit Bookface yesterday, cos it was getting really annoying. I like to be left alone to my own devices, and all those bladdy notifications about their really crappy new interface … I quit.
I just wish I could actually REMOVE my account, not bladdy “de-activate”.
Also, who else watched the Olympics opening ceremony? It was amazing, those commies really pulled all the stops. And worth every penny too, I reckon. Way to shame your detractors, China.
And now Russia has invaded Georgia. Just when everyone is on holiday at the Games. Wow.
So, Buffdaddy, wanna make a bet, do ya? Fine, your boys have been doing pretty well in the rugby league so far, and my boys have been playing like shit. Agreed. So I’ll take your bet.
If Harare Sports Club beat Old Hararians in their next rugby league fixture, you will have a RustyGate.org banner prominently displayed at every subsequent Old Hararians match for the next month.
If Old Hararians beat Harare Sports Club in said fixture, I will change my site’s colour to green, replace the polaroid pictures with the OH badge and rename my site “GreenGate - because OH rule”, and generally be your bitch and bear the brunt of your ridicule for a week.
These are your terms, and I’ve expanded them slightly in your favour.
Are we agreed?
I had a great weekend, my fellow Happy Mutants, and I hope you had one too. I got to hang out with my favourite girl, all weekend, and that’s enough to keep any simple man happy. Too bad I’m anything but simple, eh?
Saturday was a bit of a bitch, though. From New Zealand taking it up ye olde rectum in the morning (34-19 to the Wallabies? In 2008? Guys?!?), to Harare Sports Club giving up two tries in the dying minutes masikati … wasn’t my rugby weekend, really.
On the plus, We got to hang out with my Big Sis Evonne, who is nutty as ever and sweetness to boot.
And now it’s Monday. Here we go again. Fuck.
So the English newspapers were shitting all over South African cricketer Abraham de Villiers the whole of last week. The bugger took a catch in the first Test which turned out to have bounced. Yeah, okay.
So AB de Villiers walks out to bat in this second Test, and all the massive English support can think of is to boo the boy. Now, we all know cricket has a certain reputation regarding ettiquete, and this unseemly display from the Pommy crowd was … well, unseemly.
So what did AB de Villiers do? He bashed them for 174 runs.
Nice way to ruin a good Sunday, you bladdy Poms. Next time leave the bugger alone. You’ve learnt nothing from the Stephen Fleming years, I see.
Gosh, if SA win this Supersport will be insufferable.
