Well the much hyper Super 14 final was just plain strange. At around 6.10pm Jade Stadium was engulfed in a thick fog.
This meant that you couldnt see the other side of the ground - and meaning the TV coverage was made up of ground level shots of the field, and meaning anyone in the stands from about halfway up couldnt see a thing (including the coaches boxes and the commentary box!).
But because they had to film from both sides of the ground - watching it on TV was awful - continually changing direction.
And by the way - the Canes lost, going down 19-12. Essentially there was one broken tackle which led to a try - winning the game.
In other news Jerry Collins is set to captain the ABs against Argentina in Buenos Aires, of course you will remember the last time we played the Pumas over there - needing a last minute Ben Blair try to win. Richie McCaw is of course the squad captain, but this is great for big Jerry!
The selectors have chosen two seperate teams, one to play Ireland in two tests, and another 15 to play Argentina. How many teams in any sport could do that?? This will be the second time in two years that the ABs will have fielded entirely different starting 15s in consecutive weeks (Happened last year for the Welsh and Irish tests).
