I haven't been blogging much over here lately, as I took on the job of webmaster for my school (Marist Canberra) Rugby site and we set up a whole new site.. you can check it out at www.maristrugby.com.au. It's turned out to be a lot of work, but quite rewarding, but it's about time to get back into it.
Well done the Brumbies on a great season and go the Wallabies.
I am very excited about some of the signings for next year - Gits is back, Rocky Elsom knows a good deal when he sees one and we haven't lost too many. Have it on good authority that Julian Salvi will be back in a couple of years after his Italian sojourn and ready to take over where George Smith leaves off, if and when George decides to call it a day. I think we are in for another golden era of Brumbies Rugby and I believe that Andy Friend is getting it right.

Looking back I made a couple of predictions early in the season. I said that the Brumbies could win the S14 if they made the 4. Wasn't too wide of the mark. I said that Matt Toomua would be a standout and he's getting there, so not bad all in all.
Test season is here and the Wallabies are shaping up well.
Will Lote make it? I reckon Robbie is toughening him up and making him hungry. He will feature at some time in the Tri Nations.
I think we are a definite chance for all of the silverware this year, but the Boks will be match hardened after the Lions, though they might be in a bit of a let down phase, after all the hype.
Now, if we could just win the 7's once in a while ........
