NZ/SA/AU Rivalry
And so it begins again. 17 weeks of enjoying the great game. The pretenders come and go, but class always rises to the top. Can a SA team retain the trophy? Will an AU team get close? Will my Crusaders again be not only the best NZ team, but can they win a 7th trophy? They certainly looked strong tonight, not great, but good enough to see off the Brumbies. Confused? Super 14 Rugby is back, more fun and fewer surprises than the Nuremberg toy fair! John

I don't really follow it, but I saw in the news tonight that the Waratahs won their match. Maybe we in Oz should be thankful that the Indians don't play rugby!

Now I have a funny story about the S14. Telecom have a virtual rugby competition. I have done it since it started and normally end up in the top 10% or so. Last week I was in 132 place and thought that was pretty good, wont last, watch me slide down the table. This week, I am now in 23rd place! Watch me slide down the table now! John

John, be careful you don't match Telstra's share price!

And for those who are wondering what it is all about: http://www.super14.com/ Hopefully the Waratahs do better than last year. Greg
