Well, it looks like that Beauden Barrett has been ruled out of the 3rd & final Bledisloe Cup test between the Wallabies & the All Blacks at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane due to concussion because he is suffering symptoms from the head knock he sustained against South Africa last weekend so Canterbury's dynamic first five-eighth Richie Mo'unga has been called into the squad immediately meaning that Lima Sopoaga would have to start at 10 & fullback Damian McKenzie to cover at first five.
And All Black openside flanker Sam Cane has signed on with New Zealand rugby until at least in 2021 on a 4 year deal meaning that he is still committed with both the Chiefs & Bay Of Plenty because he at least played 49 tests for New Zealand since his debut in 2012 & has become the regular starter in the number 7 jersey since the retirement of Richie McCaw after the 2015 Rugby World Cup but Cane has also captained the All Blacks twice, against Namibia during the Rugby World Cup in 2015 and to another victory against Italy in Rome last year.
And finally twice Le Mans winner from New Zealand, Brendon Hartley (Well, he is only 27 years old at the moment because he will be 28 next month) will make his long awaited Formula 1 debut driving for Scuderia Toro Rosso at the United States Grand Prix over at the Circuit Of The Americas in Austin, Texas...meaning that he is the 1st Kiwi to compete in Formula 1 since Mike Thackwell 33 years ago replacing the young Frenchman Pierre Gasly who is competing in Super Formula (Which is Japan's answer to Formula 1 as well as Indycar) over in Japan with Russian Daniil Kvyat coming back into the fold after originally being sacked with the team, replacing the Renault bound Carlos Sainz (His ex teammate since last year when he arrived back at Toro Rosso, replacing the Red Bull Racing bound Max Verstappen).
So that is my 154th blog of the year 2017 (MMXVII) & my 74th this year (Only 46 blogs still remaining until I reach the big 200).
P.S. And we went to Caroline's today to have dessert there (We had hot dogs for dinner but Buck is a garbage disposal unit).
