IN Brisbane tomorrow night.

Im going! yay!

however, down to business.

After an ordinary tour of South Africa the Frogs have come to play in Brissie for the 1st time since 1997.

The wallabies have shown great form against both Italy and Samoa, these teams were not very well.. competative at all.

Should be an interesting game, with Latho back in Wallaby 15.

I think the wallabies by 15.




>>>Oh I did manage to go to a little pre-game wallas thing last night where I met George Gregan, Bill Young, Chris "old man" Whitaker and Scott Fava, the boys looked really bored and tired.. which is really understandable. I also saw Mark Chisholm shopping, hes an old Terrace boy out with his mates so that was cool. Its mad to have a jersey collar signed by the most capped Wallaby in history.

Me? I lost 5 consecutive times on table tennis championships. I never won it. But I won a badminton tournament once, although it was regional finals, and not the nationals.
I still hold the girls' record for the 400m at my school
It's actually not that great - like 1 minute 15 or something... but hehe I'm still unbeaten :biggrin:
The sad thing is last year Micaela and I (we were the two presidents for our house) did every single 6th form event between us - because 6th formers are just fat and can't b bothered :p: And I missed beating my own record by a something like 0.24 of a second - grrr!!

Edit ooo ooo and I nearly forgot my cross country "achievements" :p: - 6th in district..... 43rd in county :biggrin:

Year after year? They havnt been underestimated at all. Their downfall as the top two started two years ago albeit through injuries. Their form since hasnt been what it was in 2002-2003 but nobody has underestimated them. Serena lost to Crybas at wimbledon this year who is nothing special and Venus hasnt been in a grand slam final for two years now.

This is what I'm remarking on, that every year for the last couple of years no-one even cites the sisters to win Wimbledon anymore, even though one of them always makes it to the final! And the turn about in public support for them has been shocking. Sitting on Henmen hill last year, with no exaggeration I was the only one supporting Serena in her match against Mauresmo, which is a great turnabout in favour from a few years before where the Williams sisters were darlings.

Hehehe, I know! :rofl:
Sorry man!
Hmm...i am obviously going to support the lions, but it will be a big challenge to overturn the deficit from last week...but, if anyone can do it from our remaining players these are definately the ones - fast, attacking and with amazing vision.

I admit i have been to hospital more times than i care to think of due to being kicked, knocked out and with broken limbs but i spose thats wot u get from 15 years of riding almost every day. hehe.

Making the trials for the Great Britain swimming team when I was 18, representing Yorkshire County Cricket Club's junior team, captaining my village cricket team to county glory, or being scouted by the British Bulldogs American football team. :biggrin:
