Well, round 8 of Super Rugby got underway as the Hurricanes defeat the Chiefs in Wellington to go on top of the New Zealand conference as well as the overall standings then the Blues buried their 2017 demons against the Sunwolves with their comfortable win in Tokyo before the Highlanders earn themselves a bonus point victory over the Brumbies in Dunedin to still continue our dominance against Australian opposition.
And New Zealand finish 5th on the medal table ahead of South Africa but behind Canada at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia with 15 gold medals (All Blacks sevens (Who kept the Fijians scoreless to regain the gold medal from South Africa), Black Ferns sevens (Kelly Brazier scored the match winning try during extra time against the hosts & after the try had scored, the Aussie crowd were in silence), Black Sticks women, Jo Edwards, Sam Gaze (Who had a mechanical issue, allowing him to come back & challenge Anton Cooper for the lead under controversial circumstances before crossing the line to bring home the gold), Joelle King (Both women's singles & doubles with Amanda Landers-Murphy) David Liti, David Nyika, New Zealand men's team sprint, Sophie Pascoe (Both women's SB9 100m breaststroke & women's SM10 200m individual medley), Julia Ratcliffe, Tom Walsh (Who went into the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games as heavy favourite) & Sam Webster), 16 silvers & 15 bronzes.
And finally with both the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang & the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast wrapped up, as the next sporting event taking place this year in 2018 is the FIFA World Cup in Russia which will happen in 2 months time starting on the 15th of June when the hosts take on Saudi Arabia for their opener at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow (Although Leon would be football/soccer mad because me & Pops are indeed rugby union mad because the Rugby World Cup doesn't take place until next year in Japan).
So that is my 195th blog of the year 2018 (MMXVIII) & my 15th of this year.
P.S. Lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it
You're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, well I don't wanna watch you
Disconnect and self destruct one
Bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
Medicated, drama queen,
picture perfect, numb belligerence
Narcissistic, drama queen, craving fame and all it's decadence
Lying to your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it
You're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, well I don't wanna watch you
Disconnect and self destruct one
Bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
And we went to the Wanganui club on Saturday for a quiz night & we won! (Yes! We did it because our team name was the vac blowers) + I've got the entire Lord Of The Rings trilogy on blu ray (I bought it on mighty ape with some assistance from Pops) to add it to my movie collection (Well, it's been 6 days since I got both the Star Wars prequel & original trilogies from The Warehouse to add it to both Star Wars: The Last Jedi (I bought it from mighty ape also) & my 1st blu ray movie that I own which is Star Wars: The Force Awakens).
And finally we bid you farewell to one of the greatest All Blacks in the form of William 'Fergie' McCormick (You know, the one who plays for Canterbury) who had to pass away a week & a day ago so rest in peace.
Fergie McCormick
1939 - 2018
