    He dissolved a potentially unpleasant situation.

    Uuh!! What a horrible result in Rugby Union this morning!! Australia 23, New Zealand 18. And to think a few weeks ago, the Aussies were on the receiving end of an almighty thrashing from the All Blacks. Having got my moan over, Oz must have played much better, NZ a tad below par. Looking and watching the games on YouTube, the difference between the SH teams is not that great. I will need to watch the game on YouTube later to see how Hooper (an Aussie) played. I suspect he might be the best flanker in World Rugby at present.

    Next for NZ, France! Now that would be awful if French turdgidity beats the flair and skill of the All Blacks. The one I suspect everyone is looking forward to is England v Australia. Have England got inside the Australian mindset, as England have won all the matches since the 2015 World Cup encounter? We shall see. Let's hope for plenty of fast flowing rugby, with tries galore to savour as 2017 draws to a close, and to encourage the NH teams to play a much more expansive game, in particular France, as the stories of the French having flair seems almost mythical.

    Lewis has got this in the bag.

    Disliking him a bit less now. Had a long chat with a mate who covers F1 for one of the nationals. Said that Lewis is a bit of a dick sometimes, but his heart is in the right place and he’s actually a decent bloke, so i’ll go with that.

    Let's not forget that there's the Australian MotoGP tonight. Well, tomorrow morning. That's in a couple of hours.

    I think I might watch it live. Depends on whether my eyes stay open. Once the race starts there will be no problem.

    This is a good offload to create the second NZ try! Just seen snippets of the game and all tries, albeit the first was a great interception, came from slinging the ball out wide speedily with the runners coming onto the ball with pace. Can we have more of the same from these two SH sides and may this infect the Six Nations teams to play more expansive rugby?

    Just watched a feature with this guy that’s been taking photos of the drivers/cars with a 104 year old camera.

    “I let them have a look and play with the camera first. Then they do what you tell them to! Except for Lewis, he wanted to control his whole shoot”.

    One step forwards...

    Something tells me I should be grateful I haven't had sound for 5-10 minutes.
