And boy did I ever need that 7/7. Still doing terribly, but an improvement. Good to see a few backers for Tasman against the erratic Blues. A great post match interview from Benson Stanley though (see if you can track it down)... Something along the lines of "Our backs were pathetic..."

Good to see sportsmen dispensing with the "They showed better character" nonsense.

I really don't know why I keep backing Auckland, though I'll probably end up doing the same this week against Southland. The whole Auckland side this year has been terrible, and without the All Blacks and a few injuries (Dave Thomas the latest) theres so little depth - and considering the population of Auckland that is pathetic. I didn't bother to even watch Auckland again so didn't see the interview but I do rate Benson as a player and hes got a good, honest rugby mentality, as shown in many of his press duties.

Yeah, ****ed up. Don't like to read ahead cos I'm watching the games on very long delay. Apparently I got last year's fixtures off the interwebs.

So...trying again

Another excellent week for Voltman, with just Buller's narrow win over King Country preventing him from a perfect round. Not such a good round for Heath though, who drops back into dangerous territory near the foot of the table.
