Weekly Ramble

Still mulling my rest period, enjoying it whilst I can. Questions and accusations are being made in the comments and I can only smile at them. I don't know what people expect? What role have they given us? Or what role do they think we took up? Remember it is 100% voluntary and those with burning issues can either post them in the comments, or mail the blog owner. They can also request to be guest bloggers as this access has been provided before. Some people who felt they had issues to air left without even a single post. Others posted one or two articles and quickly retreated once the stinging comments came in. Blogging is not easy, and many a time I too have felt under siege, and under pressure. However I can only speak for myself and remain true to myself, as after all, I only blog for myself. Right now I'm enjoying the Rugby World Cup and who can deny me this one joy?

After all is said and done, most of my comments are based on information that is released and my reading of it. But with the carefully controlled press releases, a compromised media, and lack of live interviews, so little is coming out. But give it time, the boat will rock. And I will be there.

Anyway, this weekend is the last round of the sponsorless National Sevens Circuit and no surprises who the winners will be. Surprising however is that despite our much lauded growth and spreading of the game, increased competition in the circuit, increase opportunities to participate in the circuit, only ten teams have managed to garner even a single point!

Let us enjoy the Driftwood Sevens and the Rugby World Cup as well as our weekend
