On behalf of the Bok rugby family, condolenses must go out to Steve Hansen who lost his father this morning to illness. May the strength of God be with you and your family through this tough time.
AB's will no doubt play this weekend for Steve and his family so expect the Aussies to be torn apart.
And so say all of us.
R.I.P.
Always sad to hear these things.
Hope the AB's put in their best performance yet, as a tribute to the Hansens.
Condolences to Steve.
Nevertheless Oz give the abs a good working over. Go OZ!!!!!!
How are the Oz injuries going?
thoughts and prayers with u and urs steve during these sad times, im sure ur old man would be proud to see his boy coach of the greatest team in the world, :o)
@ben10,
wallaby injuries are more lee the same, they have the services of plau, mitchell and kepu at their beckon call, but have lost saia faainga and digby. in digbys case thats huge news, cos he gets them some serious meters over the adavantage line.
dont see a whipping coming this weekend, wallabies will be first of all looking to score any points more then anything and after the 22-0 drubbing last time round, even that would be a huge improvement, :o)
Nice one BL. Yeah , sincere condolences to the Hansen family.
Yes condolences to Steve and his family. It's awesome your dad got to see the World Cup victory and your undefeated run so far as coach, he certainly would of been proud.
Also good luck to Martin Crowe as he starts his fight against Follicular Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkins blood disease.
If he can apply the fighting spirit he displayed at the batting crease for New Zealand I'm sure he will overcome this disease. All the best to him and his family.
saSUE Digby is a great loss and all the others injuries this season have severely dented Oz and the Boks.
I will be looking to see how the Oz pack does.
