The Same Game

So, am I supposed to be pleased - or un-amazed, to be 

seen a supporter of the winning team; in the Sydney 7s 

it was a case of The Wallabies nearly; although close a 

nail-biter which suggests it clearly wasn’t their day, and  

yet an anticlimax - less the registered interests, if you’d 

believe the Media’s claim to impartiality & which I don’t, 

but yet, at end, the All Blacks displayed exactly that we 

would have wanted to see - had we won, their humility 

Maybe we’ve a way to go yet to get to where th’ sport’s 

what matters - or am I preempting societies growth in a 

direction fettered with self-interest - if it’s before an odd 

reflection we’re on the same team - without recourse to 

an arbiter deeming the behaviour redeems itself if, and 

only if, we’re reasonably playing the same game
