In fact, if the powers that be announced that the 3rd test had been cancelled to get the Lions out the country and back to Blighty a little sooner, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Whooooah, only two days before the third test of the All Black season, and still injuries coming out of the Cartel's ears faster than they can repair them. Although the...

Why I don't like Puppet

Dion | Thursday, 25 June 2009

I have always supported a coach who gets meaningful results against meaningful opposition. Coach Puppet has few distinctions next to his name that no coaches before him have. First ever...
