Super Rugby round 6 review (+ Ball tampering shame & Joshua-Parker showdown)

Well, round 6 of Super Rugby got underway as the Crusaders pip the Bulls 33 - 14 in Christchurch with Jack Goodhue who had a wonderful game getting a double then the Chiefs demolish the Sunwolves 61 - 10 in Tokyo with Damian McKenzie also having a wonderful game by scoring both tries along with Solomon Alaimalo just like Jack Goodhue did then the Hurricanes were too strong against the Highlanders in TJ Perenara's 100th game (Some fabulous tries including Beauden Barrett, Ben Lam twice & Vince Aso for the Hurricanes & Waisake Naholo who was in not once but twice for the Highlanders).

And what about the ball tampering crisis during the 3rd test between South Africa & Australia in Cape Town that shocked the cricket world (Well it is just not cricket)...I mean come on, what on earth is going on with these culprits such as Australian captain Steve Smith, David Warner & Cameron Bancroft (All 3 were being replaced by Joe Burns, Glenn Maxwell & Matt Renshaw for the 4th & final test) because they were all caught in the act, honestly. At least coach Darren Lehmann kept his job (Well, he had to resign as head coach of the Australian cricket team after the 4th test) but all 3 offenders had to be sent home as a result, with Smith & Warner copping 1 year suspensions (But they are not allowed to captain for Australia again for 2 years (Although wicketkeeper Tim Paine has taken over the job of national team test captain) & Bancroft has been suspended for 9 months for playing their part on ball tampering, I mean, get real...get over it because not only that the ball tampering scandal is Australian cricket's darkest days since the underarm incident in 1981 which cost us the game (Trevor Chappell was instructed by his brother Greg Chappell to bowl underarm (Which is illegal as of today because it results in an automatic no ball being signaled by the umpire) before Trevor became Australia's most hated man in cricket).

And finally don't forget that Samoan-Kiwi boxer Joseph Parker is fighting Britain/England's Anthony 'AJ' Joshua at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff...but everything is on the line such as unification titles & undefeated records (Well someone's 0 has got to go (That's according to the world famous American ring announcer Michael Buffer). And let's hope that Joe doesn't get knocked out just like 'Iron' Mike Tyson in which he lost against James 'Buster' Douglas or especially disqualified (Such as hitting on the break, low blows, headbutts, rabbit punches, elbows & hitting a man while he's down but he may lose his money if he gets disqualified).

So that is my 192nd blog of the year 2018 (MMXVIII) & my 12th of this year (And we hope you have a happy Easter tomorrow because I've got a Star Wars movie to watch which is The Force Awakens on Blu-ray tomorrow then The Last Jedi that I've bought at Mighty Ape on Blu-ray on Sunday).

P.S. And don't worry, Carole Webb is here until next Wednesday because she had just arrived last night from the airport (And I heard a familiar tune at the airport which is one of the Foo Fighters songs Learn To Fly) but we had cereal for breakfast before I took Buck for a morning walk then head over to the Splash Centre for a swim before we went to Countdown for some shopping (I had to stay in the car) then we went to Murray's emporium (Again I had to stay in the car) before we went back home although I had to watch that Batman & Joker parody video on YouTube which is hilarious before I heard the Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers & Incubus then we had an incredible Caesar salad for lunch then we had a fruit plate before I played Rugby League Live 4 on the PS4 then Rugby Challenge 3 & FIFA 18 before I took Buck for an afternoon walk & after that, watched that Australian rugby programme that I recorded which is Kick & Chase before we had chicken, pasta & salad for dinner before I dried the dishes with Carole washing it & so here I am, doing a blog for tonight.
