Rugby-Talk is going to have it’s own unique version of AWARDS for the year…. but we’re going to be radically different about it… watch this space

Hello friends and fellow rugby freaks. I don’t know about you but preparations for year end is not nearly going to plan on this side. I planned to shut my office for the Festive Season this Friday at close of business, but it certainly looks as if I’m NEVER going to finish with the things I HAVE TO DO in time to achieve that!

I certainly hope that some of you are on holiday already or very close to taking a deserved break.

The Rugby has dried up for the Southern Hemisphere with the close of our season…. but that certainly does not mean that Rugby-Talk has dried up or will close for the Festive Season.

We have a range of Articles planned, which includes:

• Our own unique RUGBY-TALK AWARDS series…. from nomination of Categories and through nomination of nominees, to voting in the Categories….. then culminating in a “Gala Evening” where the awards will be given and / or punishments dealt out….
• Full in depth discussion, disection and dismantlement of each of the 5 SA Franchises and their squads for the 2010 Super 14
• A bit of Cricket seeing as the Pommies are touring here and there will be a few 5-day Tests
• A Christmas Thread
• A New Year Thread
• And maybe, just maybe, a bit of fun along the way…

In addition, during the period that my office will be closed, I will probably spend some quality time on the golf course or lazing around the pool… and develop a few improvements to the Rugby-Talk web site (including our own LEAGUE / COMPETITION features or mini Rugby-Talk “SuperBru”). Unfortunately travel is out for our family this Festive Season seeing as my wife has had an operation and is subsequently not allowed to travel at all during the recovery process.

I have found that my fuse is quite a bit shorter than usual and hear much of the same from everybody around me, so rest and relaxation for all of us, you included, is necessary and I wish a good Festive Season to you all with lots of quality time spent with those dear to you. Also, drive carefully and travel safely during these holidays, this is a bad time of year for accidents!

Whatever you do, come visit Rugby-Talk when you have time and participate even more than normal to make up for those who are away in this dull rugby-less time of the year!

Regards,
