There was a severe lack of drivel in the earlier message and the omission of the score. This was one of the reasons Smally was sacked a few years ago, but mainly because he wasn't funny. It is hoped that the New Year break will allow those convalescing to return rejuvenated. We need to get some points on the board to avoid the smugness of T2 at the AGM as well as position for the play off's. Jensen is nagging for Vietnam tourists. You need to put your hand up before the deadline as we need to book some flights, cheap.


The final score was 17 -10 to Macau.

Smally was fined for saying " I had a terrific game, the best in a long time, I only missed one tackle". He was fined for gloating and missing the tackle. It goes along with his other famous quote, "pass to me I'm open, I only have 3 to beat."
Bruce was up for an award for all American hero and man of the match. After a scrum demonstration of reverse at speed, it held firm and even began turning.
Xia managed to hurt something a lot and went off to hospital pulling faces. Hopefully it's sorted.
The spirit and fight was much better this week, literally. Spitting indeed, obviously Allan has some Chilean in him. Some sort of nose flutist tryst in the shopping precinct.
We held on for most of the match ahead, but were pipped at the end with two quick tries.
Le blue were out in force, especially in the backs and making a lot of yards. We had some great cover and tackling throughout, won most of our line outs and fair amount of theirs, so kicking was an option
