    Any win is a good win, but that match wasn’t one for the purists. Loose and troublesome in the tight stuff. I hope this game blows away a few cobwebs and sets the boys up for a big match against the Poms next Saturday.

    Good luck to the Bokkes against the Welsh.

    Congratulations to Sam Domoni, newly-appointed coach of Fiji. I wish him much success in his new role and hope that his coaching career takes him to similar heights as his playing carrer. A great bloke!!!

    Bula!!

    OK boys… have to go put up a rail for Handbriekie….

    Like Oldie is sponsoring old rugga players, we seem to be sponsoring students… we have an added member of the household from tomorrow, seeing as we’re supplying accomodation to one of the students who have to do their practical work with BonzaiHandbriekie as from Monday.

    Won’t be long, then I’ll help SuperBul with his PC before the Bokke game starts…

    See you on the Bokke thread.
