[Jimmy_041]

Stayed at home last night with the intention of going to bed early and enjoying a feast of rugby in the early hours

Cooked Singapore Prawns for Mrs Jimmy and we talked to 1.30am over a couple of bottles of red.

Retired to the FOXTEL entertainment room to begin the festival of the boot.........and woke up at 9am

Proof again that women & rugby dont mix - I should have married you JAS

a good win to the Wallabies to finish off the tour
33 - 12, 4 tries to nil

probably their best of the tour, just need to get more consistency

Haha...I think you're far better off with the current Mrs Jimmy...even if she does pin you down and force copious amounts of alcohol down your throat against your will

For anyone yet to watch the highlights or whatever...don't look away in the 24th minute...young Pocock's try is just lovely and Jonathan Davies said he very nearly made him Man of the Match based on it.

...and well done Mk...France 12 - 39 NZ

Made it to the TV this week Jas.............

haha...bet you're glad you did too

Won't post scores or details and spoil it for anyone who's recorded to watch later (worth watching imo) but I would like someone to check Habana's family tree on the off-chance there's a bit of Irish DNA in there my god that boy can shift.

missed the game thankfully, was away interstate for a wedding, sounds like the refs were noticeable again

the pressure might be off the boys now, they can go out and play without having to think about the grand slam which has been a huge focus for them

I just found out the dates for my rugby trip to NZ next year, the Wallabies are playing the AB's at Jade Stadium (or whatever it is called now) in Christchurch on 7 aug, better start saving my bottles and cans, I had better start drinking more then

are you planning on heading over next year MK

Hi mate, sorry I've been away twice since I caught up with you in NZ - it's been very hectic. We would love to head over next year but work might dictate that. We were going over for three months but it might be three weeks. That Christchurch game looks the goods and I'm pretty certain Mr MK will want to go back to Wellington and then an Auckland game before home. Have you seen the ticket prices? Whew!
