I think the Wallabies will take heart and play with heart this weekend. It's
hard to play the Boks on their soil and they have been through the baptism
of fire. This weekend I think they will post a win.
As for smoke I can see what you meant, I was over in Lismore this afternoon
and farmers are burning off paddocks. When we came back to Mallanganee
we hit some heavy smoke just as you come up over Richmond Range and
down into Mallanganee. There must be a bushfire to our west there is a heap
of smoke about.
I hope it settle down soon. Got my youngest here for a week tomorrow so
I guess I won't be seeing too much scope time until next week maybe.
Andrew, you still up for Leyburn on the weekend of the 10th & 11th September?
weather permitting.
Cheers,CS

Thanks for the summary Rob.
We had a 40th birthday and 12 month anniversary
of the passing away of a dear friend on the weekend
so I've only seen a few highlights. You just cannot
switch off against any of the top national
rugby teams. The fitness has to be there
for the full game. Perhaps they should have
arrived there sooner for some really rigorous
training sessions.
I'm tempted to search through the family tree
to see if i can find some Kiwi ancestry, it might
give me something to cheer about!!! The girls
team had a great win though.
It's almost scope time again, I can't wait.
The burnoff season is certainly in full
swing, all the landowners madly burning
before they have to ask for permits.
Sky transparency is pretty poor. It has
to be done though, or we'll repeat the
Victorian tragedy. Cheers to all, Paul.

Quite a game! between the Wallabies and the Spring Boks. It was raining
points in the first 17 minutes. Unfortunately for the Wallabies they seem
to slack off and let the Spring boks bounce right back at them. The first
try by the boks was against some very sloppy defence. I think that boy
past about 5-6 Wallabies on the way to the line. Mitchell's first try attempt
was ruled a no try, I think he was unlucky there, must have been judged a
double movement. It's been 47 years since the Wallabies have beaten the
Boks at altitude and the Mandela Plate is still up for grabs. They have a
chance to redeem themselves next weekend and will be back down at
sea level. The Wallabies did what the Spring Boks did against the All Blacks
last weekend and fall apart in the last 15 minutes.
Boks 44 to Wallabies 31
Cheers,CS
