I did watch the match on Friday night (French time) and I couldn't believe it : it was the first time I saw Richie contesting (is it English?), you know heu...talking to and with the referee, I really thought he would get another yellow card (about that, my dad said that last week's sin-bin was TOTALLY normal and that Richie wasn't penalised enough...OK, dad! we won't agree on that issue but thanks for your help!)
The French commentators said that Richie was becoming the new George Gregan (with more class ; thanks for him!). And I thought that he was becoming like me, because I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... Choose who you are siding with now, Richie!
Did you get that the referee really wanted the Crusaders to get the Bonus point? Richie actually scored two tries after the bell had rung! Maybe they had a couple of beers together after the match. All match long, Richie told the ref' what he should have seen,done,... and at the end of the match, the ref' was "So Richie how do you play this penalty?" as if he had forgotten all the words from our lovely Captain!
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER...

Anyway, even if they lost this weekend, the Crusaders are going to South Africa to play the semi final against the Bulls ; while the Blues (without Luke McAlister) are also heading to Nelson Mandela's country to face the Sharks (with John Smit, but also Ruan Pienar!)
I will give you more details this week about the schedule of the semi finals.

pictures :
-many from Friday night, showing that the defending champions weren't fine! [But we still love our Cap', even if he falls ; we love him because he isn't a ass-hole with women!!!]
-plus another showing the lil' sis' playing netball this weekend too (don't know if the Flames won...)

J'ai pu regarder le match vendredi soir et j'en croyais pas mes yeux : c'est la premiere fois que je vois Richie discuter autant les decisions de l'arbitre, je pensais meme qu'il allait avoir droit a un autre carton jaune (en parlant de ca, mon expert es rugby -c'est a dire mon papa!-- m'a dit que les 10 minutes d'exclusion la semaine derniere etaient TOTALLEMENT justifiees et que Richie n'etait pas assez penalise...OK papa! on ne sera jamais d'accord sur ce point mais merci pour ton aide!)
Les commentateurs ont dit que Richie ressemblait de plus en plus a Gregan, a toujours cherche la ptite bete (mais avec plus de classe ; merci pour lui!) Alors que moi, je le voyais devenir comme moi, car J AI TOUJOURS RAISON! Alors, Richie, faut choisir son camp?
Vous avez surement vu l'arbitre pousser les Crusaders a obtenir le bonus ; parce que Richie a quand meme marque deux essais apres que la sirene ait sonne...Esperons qu'ils aient bu une biere ensemble apres le match. Pendant tout le match, Richie a dit "ses quatre verites" a l'arbitre qui a la fin l'interpelle par un "Richie, alors comment vous la jouez cette penalite?" comme si de rien n'etait!

QUELLE SOIREE...

Bref, malgre leur defaite, les ptis gars du Jade Stadium se rendront en Afrique du Sud le weekend prochain pour y rencontrer les Bulls ; tandis que les Blues iront affronter les Sharks (futur club de notre Fred Michalak national)
Pour le programme, je vous en dirait plus cette semaine.

Les photos:
-beaucoup de photos du match qui montrent que les tenants du tire (te leur capitaine) ont souffert {n'empeche qu'on aime Richie, meme s'il ne tient pas toujours debout...on l'aime parce que c'est pas un faux-cul avec les femmes!}
- bonus: la ptite soeur a aussi joue ce weekend mais je ne connais pas le resultat des Flames dsl...
