NH-SH AGAIN

Well, what do you know? No sooner do I shake my virtual head in a disappointed and disenchanted manner than what do we get? Not one win but two! Midweek and Saturday! Admittedly, it wasn't spectacular, edge-of-the-seat stuff but their holding it together for 80+ minutes and not resigning themselves to another trouncing was reassuring. Meanwhile, Italy did spectacularly well - special mention (as always) to Mirco as kicker - to hold South Africa (who are let's remind ourselves World Champions at the moment) to a score of 29-13. What's more, their coach stated that if they lost with a margin of 20 points or less, he would shave all his hair off. I fear this will not be a pretty sight ..
