Well, with round 17 of Super Rugby played, the Bulls had another draw against the Highlanders at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin then the Blues season is all but over because they were inconsistent against the Reds who came back strong to win at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane then the Crusaders completely thrashed the Rebels 66 - 0 with both hat-trick of tries scored by All Black prospect Braydon Ennor & rookie Sevu Reece at Christchurch Stadium in Christchurch before the Hurricanes demoralized the Lions at Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg to book their place of a home quarterfinal.
And in the 2019 Cricket World Cup news desk, a bad decision by New Zealand umpire Chris Gaffaney who wrongly gave Chris Gayle out has cost the West Indies certain victory against Australia in Nottingham then the match between Pakistan & Sri Lanka in Bristol has been abandoned due to rain then England return to winning ways after losing to Pakistan, beating Bangladesh by 106 runs with a century by Englishman Jason Roy in Cardiff then New Zealand continue their dominance against Afghanistan with victory in Taunton followed by a Shikhar Dhawan century helped India take victory against Australia by 36 runs at The Oval in London (Well it's good that India won against Australia) then South Africa were 29 for 2 against the West Indies before rain stopped play & the match ended with a no result then the match between Bangladesh & Sri Lanka in Bristol has also been abandoned due to rain before Australia also continue their dominance against Pakistan with victory in Taunton.
And finally in tennis news, Australian Ash Barty (Who is bringing the Barty party to France) has won the women's singles title against young teenage 19 year old up & comer, Marketa Vondrousova in the French Open at Roland Garros but nobody could even stop Spaniard Rafael Nadal from winning another men's singles title, beating the man who ended Novak Djokovic's hopes for an historic grand slam, Austrian Dominic Thiem, in a rematch of last year's final.
So that is my 288th blog of the year 2019 (MMXIX) & my 28th of this year.
P.S. And I had a fantastic birthday on the 7th of June (It seems that I'm 28 now because not only I'm getting old eh?) especially having a breakfast meal at Mud Ducks then getting the Cricket 19 game (I pre-ordered it last month) on the PS4 & pre-ordering the new Grid game locked in on possibly the 10th or 13th but it doesn't matter & had a great time with my family having a birthday dinner at Caroline's (I had that chicken salad on my main then my birthday cake (Which is rhubarb & coconut cake) for dessert).
