Hello friends,
A full year has passed since we started blogging on our home, www.rugby-talk.com
The year flew fast indeed.
On the rugby front we had the joys in 2009 of seeing the Springboks win the 2009 Tri-Nations, the Bulls winning the Currie Cup 2009, a bit of a disasterous End of Year Tour for the Springboks. In 2010 we were entertained in the Super 14 and no less than 2 SA sides reached the final, with the Bulls winning the competition for a 2nd year in a row. The June Test window consisted of 4 wins, the best being a good win against France… then followed the start of the Tri-Nations and we were disapointed with 3 losses by the Bokke on the trot, beaten by on-fire All Blacks and a rejuvinated Wallabie side. We are now in week 6 of the Currie Cup of 2010 with WP leading the standings.
On the web site front we have been very successful, the site is performing far above expectations, the banter is good, the fun enormous!
A few small hickups ensued, nothing to write home about.
We seem to have angered some Lions supporters in the Super 14, but be assured we were actually only disapointed in their form and they already look much better under John Mitchell. Here’s hoping they retain Mitchell somehow and regain some of their former glory. Would be good if we could let bygones be bygones and get more Lions suporters blog again. Some WP and Stormers supporters felt some anti-WP sentiment, but hopefully that has all been put to rest as well, our WP bloggers seem to have swelled amongst the blogger numners as well.
We have some exciting prospects in mind, with a “New Look and Feel” planned in a few days… some commercialization in mind and some general improvements at Rugby-Talk in general.
At 12:00 SA Time today, Friday 13 August 2010 we plan to have a few celebrations going on Rugby-Talk and we want as many of you as possible to join on the blog in discussion and to celebrate with us.
A hearty word of thanks to all our Blog Authors for their contributions, without you I would not be able to cope alone.
