One of the nice things about having a blog is that you can say anything you like. It doesn’t even really matter whether anyone reads it. The act of getting it out of your head and onto the keyboard is somewhat cathartic. And boy, do I need a vent right now.

Robbed: The Hurricanes Story
Odds & ends
I haven’t been to any movies lately, depite there being bundles on I want to see. Just being a bit slack lately – nothing new there when it comes to movies. So what else is there going on of note?
The Hurricanes have now won four of their five games, not having lost since losing first up [...]
It’s rugby season!
Well, it’s well and truly rugby season again. Three weeks into the Super 14 and the Hurricanes are two wins and one loss. As often seems to be the case with the Canes, the first match was a dreadful display, going down to an ordinary looking Warratahs side in Sydney. This was followed by an [...]

Last gasp Fish try – phew!
The Hurricanes have picked up their first win of the season, but you have to say that it was a lucky win. I don’t want to detract from the effort that the guys put in, and it was a hugely entertaining game – just what Super-rugby was meant to be. It was free flowing with [...]
You lose some and…
Wow, what a bumper weekend of sport! Friday and Saturday were spent in the wild arena known as the Westpac Stadium (or better known as the cake tin) for the New Zealand leg of the IRB international Rugby Sevens circuit. Known less as a sporting event and more as a two day party, this year’s [...]
