Well, we had a dinner of the day today as Poppa's members of his Whanganui male choir came here for lunch so we had the soup for starters 1st then chicken with roast vegetables, leftover coleslaw & lettuce for the main course & for dessert we had stewed apples with lamingtons, yogurt & ice cream & dinner last night was spaghetti carbonara before we watched the Hurricanes play against the Cheetahs on TV but I went to bed immediately because I didn't feel like watching the 2nd half because it was the same as Friday night between the Chiefs & Crusaders.
And the Crusaders headed to Fiji (Well, it's a homecoming for both Fijian born players Seta Tamanivalu & his nephew Manasa Mataele) with a win against the Chiefs to remain unbeaten in Super Rugby after 13 rounds while the Blues (Who welcomed back code hopper & second five-eighth Sonny Bill Williams from concussion) 3 match winning run was over after losing to the Africa 1 conference leaders the Stormers in an ill disciplined game which resulted former league player & winger Matt Duffie sent off after a 2nd yellow card then the Hurricanes avenged their demons in Christchurch by demolishing the Cheetahs 61 points to 7 with a Vince Aso hat-trick (Actually he is the top try scorer of this years competition & he has a brilliant midfield pairing with second five-eighth Ngani Laumape) but he is back to his very best after a poor showing against the unbeaten Crusaders & the Highlanders (Who are without several players such as Ben Smith due to injury & the dynamic winger Waisake Naholo due to suspension) win 8 in a row by thrashing the helpless Western Force who are on the brink of being axed for next year with both doubles by prop Aki Seiuli & reserve back Rob Thompson.
So that was Round 13 of the 2017 Super Rugby season and here are the matches for Round 14:
Blues Vs Chiefs: Eden Park, Auckland
Reds Vs Force: Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
Sunwolves Vs Cheetahs: Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium, Tokyo
Highlanders Vs Waratahs: Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin
Rebels Vs Crusaders: AAMI Park, Melbourne
Bulls Vs Hurricanes: Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria
Sharks Vs Stormers: Growthpoint Kings Park, Durban
Jaguares Vs Brumbies: Jose Amalfitani Stadium, Buenos Aires
& the Lions Vs Kings at Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg to end Round 13 of Super Rugby 2017.
And the Formula 1 circus heads to the principality of Monaco next week as Lewis Hamilton (Great Britain) in the Mercedes will try to take over the lead of the championship if he wins because he is trailing 6 points behind Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel after winning so comfortably in Spain so here's the circuit guide of the Circuit de Monaco in Monaco which will host Round 6 of the Monaco Grand Prix (The crown jewels in motorsport along with the Indy 500 (Which Fernando Alonso will be competing this year as a rookie) & the 24 Hours of Le Mans because the Monaco Grand Prix is Formula 1's premier sporting event so what's the difference between winning the Monaco Grand Prix or the Formula 1 World Championship because the last time it was happened was Vettel in 2011 in which he won the Monaco Grand Prix before going on to win the F1 crown) according to the Collins Grand Prix circuits book:
''One of the best-known events in the world of sport, the glamorous backdrop captures the imagination as readily as it provides a unique challenge for the drivers. Three-quarters of the street circuit remains exactly as it was when first used for the Monaco Grand Prix in 1929.''
So that is my 109th blog of the year 2017 (MMXVII), I'll see you up front.
P.S. I wrote it down on a piece of paper tonight to see what it says:
