He was on Sky Sports News looking rather ashen faced as I was channel surfing last night, but presumed it was just AN Other press conference & it didn't hold my attention. Would explain it.
First I've heard of it. Imagine it's a glorified pre-season friendly thingy.
Indeed. Not sure about it myself. A play-off between the Super 14 & Heineiken Cup winners could work, but both hemispheres would need to treat it seriously. Always suspect the NRL teams can never quite be properly arsed in the league World Club Challenge.
Incredible, best of luck to him.
Wish him all the best. Must take brass balls to fight his way back from that. The fact he had a pig value rather than a plastic one fitted shows he was always intent on a comeback too. Fair play to the young fella. If I was feeling gushing I'd mention somethign about the redemptive power of sport, but suspect he's just a very impressive young man.
....very likely...but he's a bit of eye candy for us poor girls when we have to go and endure a couple of hours in the freezing cold watching the match....
Shame for you that he prefers trannies.......very likely...but he's a bit of eye candy for us poor girls when we have to go and endure a couple of hours in the freezing cold watching the match....
I'd be highly surprised if Brett wasn't at least given an opportunity, though would also be questioning the selectors if Donald isn't first in line. Theres not a huge amount of other options really, unless Weepu or Toeava play somewhat out of position.
I wouldn't use the 2008 Air New Zealand Cup as an example for Brett, he was injured for the first half of the season, came back and hardly looked comfortable (I gather he was still working his way back to full fitness), and by then Colin Slade had slotted into the mix nicely and rightly maintained his spot. I don't think Slade would be quite so impressive at Super 14 level, whereas Brett's been a successful understudy to Carter in the Super 14 for a few years. I'd admit hes got flaws but with Evans and McAlister gone, who'd you pick besides Donald as a replacement for Carter?
Fair enough - I guess I'd just prefer to see players used in their premier position, i.e. half back for Weepu (and full back for Toeava). To be completely honest I wouldn't mind Weepu being used as a temporary option at first five, but would prefer its just that - temporary.
Shame for you that he prefers trannies...
....yeah,i have heard that...tbf, we can still look tho,he's still a very good lookin guy..
