I give up Walla……………….”What is the difference between Santa and Tiger Woods”?

Does Tiger have a contract with the Cheatahs next year?

Well, at least Wellington isn’t that far from Schalks home. They can hang out ther; have a nice braai, drink lekker wine….

Yep old bean… always the last Friday (before Xmas) profit-taking across the Western world… a perfect shorting opportunity… money for jam…

Mechanical ‘Trailing-stops’ (long or short) in this game are essential… ‘let your profits ride and nip your losses in the bud’… too many amateurs (and pros) cannot grasp the concept…

I’m trying Tackles… damn hard too… but it’s just too incomprehensible…

Well done son… I remember a few seasons ago you (if it’s the same persona) talking about trying to immigrate to Aus or NZ… clearly you are there now…

The AB management will have had local ears on local grounds and know, well in advance, that Rosettenville isn’t the same as Randburg; Hillbrow isn’t Houghton and Bishopscourt isn’t Bishop Lavis.

Based in central Wellington and then rehearsing 20kms away in Porirua and Hutt speaks of a management with absolutely NO local knowledge.

Imagine (just for the sake of argument) that the reigning RWC champions were the All Blacks. And they were playing a RWC tournament in South Africa.

Then, they are hotelled in Newlands — virtually in the shadow of the grandstand of the field they will be playing their pool games on.

So far, so good?

But then their practice fields are allocated in Brackenfell, Strand and Melkbosstrand…

Would they be happy?

Don’t be silly. Of course they’d be furious.

It IS cool. But to travel all of 20kms from the team hotel to practice on a high school field in Porirua or the Hutt River Valley is a tad dodgy.

If I were managing the world champions, I’d absolutely insist on practice grounds within easy walking distance or (at worst) a short five-minute bus hop away. St Patrick’s Town? Rongitai College? Wellington College? Scots College?

Why be shipped out to Porirua or Hutt Valley?

@TheTackler: Wellington is a cool place. I am really glad the team is playing the pool matches in my backyard.

Wellington’s windy. Identical to Cape Town. Bur, seeing as you’ll play your pool games there, you might as well acclimatise. But practice grounds in Porirua and Hutt Valley? That’s 20km from the team hotel. And Wellington’s excellent night-spots and entertainment are within 400m of the team hotel — no drama with drunks in taxis. Just stagger home to bed.
