Fransie the match winner

I am expecting Fransie to bounce back this weekend as all quality players do. A massive performance from him will see the Sharks make history and become the first non-NZL team to topple the Saders in Christchurch.

Its a game of inches and thats ultimately what cost us last week. Fransie was on the unlucky side of the inches. A few restarts stay in play, a few line kicks find touch, a few penalty goals dissect the sticks and Sharks surely would have been too strong upfront for the Brumbies.

Fransie will sort that out this weekend and prove yet again that class is permanent and he possesses oodles of that.

I was harsh on Fransi last week but the loss was still raw!! Sorry Fransie. This week I know you will make me happy.

Anyway boys, I have got a flight to catch down to Christchurch in a few hours. Sharks forever!

 You shall see me in the stands with my new Sharks away jersey Dave. You shall see me the following week at the Blues game in that same jersey!!

Dave, I still have a job...You were the one that was fired and struck of the roll..Not me!!

 Is this somehow supposed to be funny or clever??

I know a flight is a massive thing for you being from the sticks and without a job in a while but they are really pretty affordable and common these days..Some people even take them without saying goodbye to people.. Ask your "friend" Pete Pompies!

 I recall you saying Pete was going to bring you on as an assistant. That was his promise to you as he knows you have a great rugby brain..You also said, "Watch this space!"

How is the weather over there in cuckoo land today anyway David?
