What a weekend, with a plethora of Rugby
including a Test there were no excuses left
to not overindulge, so we did, shamelessly
Meant viewing from 11am with nine games
to go in an array of the best at this level, all
semi-finals except for the Wallabies Test
And they were intriguing; close encounters
in some, but mostly one team showed why
they’d earned their place - and gracefully
Hard to believe of Rugby - yet it was there
to see correctly as statements of what one
expects these days - true professionalism
Expressed on a field where the game has
right of way & ego-trippers play secondary
stakes to the team’s greater endeavours
That ‘the men in black’ again escaped the
ignominy of losing meant the All Blacks &
Wallabies game was a worthy price paid
And the single point separation demeans
nobody as both gave their best in contest
which could have gone either way …
