It is decision time whether Scotland will become an independent country or else, remain part of the United Kingdom (Although I would like the Great Britain Table Hockey team to pull out of the TBO World Cup if Scotland becomes independent) as many people want to say yes or no about the country at all costs, but all eyes on the general election in New Zealand to vote for which party or politician to be part of a parliament seat just because their will never be a new Prime Minister as the country's leader, John Key is the most popular PM, just scampers ahead of the leader of the opposition, David Cunliffe as well as John Key's political party, National, is dead set ahead of Labour (The party that I will be voting + Poppa's long standing supporting political party since ages ago and guess what, Hamish McDouall is ahead of Chester Burrows in the Wanganui seat so he might even make it to the Beehive post-election) in the fair-dinkum department matey (sic) as the most popular party according to the Colmar Brunton poll.
And in sport, the All Blacks had just drilled the mighty South Africans (Led by Jean de Villiers in his unprecedented 100th rugby test) in last weekend's TRC encounter, winning by just 4 points as the score was 14 - 10, and in the 1st half, the AB's led at 3 - 0, as South Africa were on lineout mode as Adriaan Strauss throws the ball, goes to the back, gives the ball to winger Cornal Hendricks, and he SCORES!! Giving SA the lead 5 - 3 (Now 7 - 3 with a successful kick to come by Handre Pollard) and when I reacted to the try when I was like, really! REALLY!! Oh, come on! this isn't fair! What is my major malfunction, BROTHER!! And in the 2nd half (Aw, bad news from the New Zealand camp as Ma'a Nonu broke a forearm because he is gone for the season), things have been settled as the All Blacks trail by a point (The returning Aaron Cruden has managed to cut the deficit in the 1st half as South Africa held on 7 - 6 at halftime), as SA win the scrum under pressure only metres from their line and clear it downfield to the halfway but a strong rolling maul has put the All Blacks on the front foot and given that Julian Savea had some open space to make a strong run but the South African defence remains powerful despite being a man down injured, and then all of a sudden, Watch THIS!! As Cruden pops a cross-field kick (Like a voodoo doll, leave this to me), giving it to Kieran Read, then passes the ball to the captain of Richie McCaw and WHAM!!! It is try-time, baby! And YES YES YES MAN!!! UNREAL!! What an effort. Way 2 go Richie as da referee has 2 go upstairs 2 have a look, but no further problems at all by da TMO so da try has been given (AB's lead, 11 - 7) but unfortunate there 4 Aaron Cruden as he isn't able to add the extras before several minutes later, the fans begin to boo as Pollard slots in a successful drop goal attempt as the ref blows the whistle as the ball sails down over the posts from a long-range sweeping distance effort.
SEVERAL MINUTES LATER
The All Blacks put the pressure on as they win the ball back from their 22-drop out and make easy metres to the SA 22-metre but lose the ball yet again but another error at the lineout from South Africa sees Savea make a huge run down the sideline and the AB's are now on the front foot and are putting plenty of pressure on the defence before the All Blacks have won ourselves a penalty within the Springboks 22-metre giving Beaudy Barrett his first chance at the posts before he nails the shot and pushes the lead 14 - 10 over SA so let's see how it unfolds in the dying 10 minutes in the nail-biting test match:
70TH MINUTE: Willie le Roux has cleared the ball down field and put Savea under pressure b4 his South African teammates arrive and win a turnover and scrum within the All Blacks half containing pests...boundaries.
72ND MINUTE: Both sides continue to give away the ball at the ruck and SA are lucky to win the ball and relieve some pressure within their half of our souls.
73RD MINUTE: South Africa push forward with a rolling maul and have won the advantage, but lose the ball once they try to spread it wide as Pollard puts it out 5-metres from the AB's lineout and have what is sure to be their best chance to take the lead without one Licence to Thrill, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
74TH MINUTE: SA set up another rolling maul by pushing it forward and win another penalty advantage b4 collapsing as they start to spread it wide and da All Blacks rush up in defence in order to shut down da South African attack, But South Africa head back for their penalty by a bunch of crutches.
76TH MINUTE: SA have gone for another lineout and may have won it but it's messy as South Africa did their best to go hard and get within the 10-metre striking jaw distance.
77TH MINUTE: South Africa have their best chance as they make it several metres to the line but an obstruction call made by the referee has ruined their chance of picking up a worthy 5 pointer more like the road to nowhere at the Devil's Triangle (But it only takes 2 to tango, dude).
78TH MINUTE: AB's have the scrum feed several metres from their line and the South African resistance have stolen it but they are rewarded with a scrum 5-metres, but what a shove from SA rewarding their final chance of winning the game, but remember guys, the South Africans have to ensure that they must put the All Blacks out of their reach and to our misery, and I mean for Jean de Villiers in his 100th test, but can SA stun the All Blacks with a win? I don't think so.
79TH MINUTE: South Africa win the scrum and Duane Vermeulen makes a quick run to the line but they send it to the short side and go out but nek minnit: AB's win lineout as Aaron Smith kicks the ball into touch without wasting any time, effectively ending the cliffhanging, blockbuster encounter & maximising their machines by holding on to a 14 - 10 victory to retain the Freedom Cup & remain on top of the Rugby Championship standings, bye for now.
P.S. Went to Splash Centre today for our routine swim before going to Colombian Cafe at Trafalgar Square near the Warehouse rather than having pasta here for lunch & so here I am, my 31st blog (It is blog number XXXI) that I am doing at the moment but good luck to my beloved Nan & Pops because they are heading off on an embarking expedition to Argentina on Monday, told ya so.
