Let's hope the Swans came do it this year, but really it's more the 1st March that I'm looking forward to. The start of the NRL season(Glory Glory to South Sydney).
We have to talk further some time about Rugby - got to watch a slew of '11 world championship matches - Fijians and Tongans were most impressive IMHO compared to the Yanks & Euros.
Rugby league is a much better game(in my humble opinion), but is only really played at any great level in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Where as Rugby Union is played in much more countries. There are a lot differences, but they are basically similar games.
Nice post, afigreg! Ann is one gorgeous woman!
