The Mack is back

Due to ill health,and a massive Pc virus attack have been offline since early november,but have upgraded my pc installed windows 8.1 professional edn.
Added a 3 terabyte hard drive and upgraded antivirus suites too.My illhealth meant i was both house bound and bed bound for much of nov/dec.
BUT!!!! have been reading up thru my library both most tours covering 1970-86 period biographies of many players so my historical project is comimg
together nicely.I have certainly learn`t a great deal about things that have been just hearsay before,my knowledge tho extensive is of necessity by
seeing.Hearing,reading.speaking to people so much is second or third hand.My library has authors of many countries but is mostly on Nz rugby with
several different viewpoints.SO WATCH THIS SPACE.

 

My library has authors of many countries but is mostly on Nz rugby with
several different viewpoints:

Great news Alan. Have you found time to watch the 6 nations? Or no interest?

Seen some 6 Ns.most matches been close,as is the tournament to date.congratulations to England on the Triple Crown.
Ireland post Australia very impressive but you just knew the All Blacks would strike at the end as McCaw said always
BELIEVE!!!.Some very controversial refs decisions.England v Ireland hooker feeding ball into second row with his hand
twice time seen that in recent matches.Thought it went out with the ark Ireland should feel aggreived at that decision
the kick was a gimme.
In another close match Danny Care ran up into a breakdown and literally stamped several times to free the ball before
scoring winning try.
France versus England that big lump Bastereud created nothing a flair player on for about 10minutes makes 2 breaks
and scores winning score.
Despite there incredible start by Ireland,and England trying to just disrupt the AllBlacks game France was the one
who gave me the most food for thought.They really have that surprise move on occassions including hands in the
scrum too.
Scotland v France first scrum French Prop has his hand on the ground ok nit picking but it`s illegal the first penalty
should have gon e to Scotland [the winning score].
Ireland v France for the 6Ns this weekend,good luck Ireland.
Congratulations to Kieron Read on player of the year win but discipline needs work to many yellow cards.
