A Week Away

I don’t blame myself for being spaced slightly 

short of full-blown confident, but the thought 

my team The Hurricanes can blaze a path of 

glory tonight is wasted on me; they are of an 

enigmatic genre who’ve played ‘dramatically’ 

even when losing while being top of the tree; 

well, it’d be nice to whip a Waratah fricassee 

next week, not that anyone eats that cheap 

But I have to say, it isn’t my parlance; this is 

‘winning’ - a new penchant for my old family, 

Wellington isn’t renowned for nailing coffins 

like our adversaries do, I’m ho hum a bit, or 

more accurately, redressing what it’ll mean 

if we get to win the bloody championship 

But, okay, that rests with The Brumbies

Written just before the Brumbies & Hurricanes about to play 

off for a spot in the 2015 Super 15 Finals 

In the event, Hurricanes 29 - Brumbies 9,  

Waratahs 17 - Highlanders 35. So it will be 
an all New Zealand Final in Wellington, with 
Super 15 Leaders Hurricanes up against 
Highlanders
