This sporting life - weekend in review
Feb. 11th, 2007 02:37 pmAn interesting few days...
Melbourne
I doubt a Collingwood has made more impact on an international since Trafalgar. The hundred was awesome but in some ways the catch and the two run outs were even better. I've always thought that PC was worth about 10 runs more than his batting average would suggest. On a good day he's worth more than that. It was fun watching the Channel 9 coverage. There were so many points where the convict commentators were so sure that Australia had it in the bag.
Twickenham
Not much of a game really. Jason Robinson looks sharp but apart from that England don't have much of a cutting edge. I can't see anybody beating France at this point. If Italy play the way they did in the second half, Scotland and Wales could get a surprise.
Murrayfield
Blech! I'm not even going to bother downloading this one. On the radio this sounded like the perfect example of why the Southrons can claim that the Six Nations sucks donkey balls.
Croke Park
Ireland croaked all right. Sounded really good on the radio. I look forward to seeing it.
Sydney
Oh my! ITMCA. I'm really looking forward to getting my paws on the torrent for this.
Girls' football
Same old, same old. My US dollar mercenaries keep their overpaid noses in front of the even more overpaid Rouble mercenaries.
