All things Sport

On a side note, I was at the Lions vs Jaguares warmup match on Friday and the Jaguares team was very impressive, they lead 42-7 at one stage. They played with 10 players that started in the World Cup semi-final vs Aus a few months back, and they are really looking like they might do well in the competition

What was the final score? That must be an amazing team... The Argentinians have come a hell of a long way...

Also, HOW WAS THAT ONSLAUGHT IN THE CRICKET YESTERDAY!!!

The final score was 49-28 to the Jaguares, so the Lions came back a little towards the end

I missed the England innings unfortunately and I missed the first 4 overs of our innings, because the wife sent me to the shop. It was so great to see the guys just hammering away at England - here's to hoping we can do well in the World T20.

I missed our whole innings because I went to play golf

I think the jaguars are going to surprise a few teams this season even the sunwolves maybe.

Only 4 more days!!!!!!!

From what I saw of them on Friday they (Jaguares) must have a good chance to win their conference. Unfortunately it's the same conference that the Lions and Sharks play in so it's going to be tough for the three teams, and because this conference plays the NZ teams this year, it's unlikely that the 3rd SA team that advances to the quarters will come from this conference, so you win it or you are out

If this is any indication of our form going into the world cup we should be happy... I really hope for once we can bring home a trophy...
