Pardon my French in the title, but come on!

In his latest hilarious achievement of pure idiocy, Adam Thompson has been left out of this weekend's Highlanders squad to face the defending champions the Vodacom Bulls because he missed a team curfew.

Didn't his parents beat it into him proper that after midnight he would turn into a pumpkin? A stupid pumpkin that would be laughed at by nice, respectable Canadian girls no less.

Ah well, this can't be worse than getting knocked on your ass by a little person with a good ol' open palm slap to the face. Don't remember last year's altercation between Rory Kockott and Fuck Wad? Let me refresh your drink...

Beautiful. I still think Thompson was robbed of an Oscar or at least a Razzie for that one...

Anyways, some Hobbs bloke also got dinged for turning into a pumpkin, rendering himself unable for selection on the weekend. What a way to make a tough situation worse. You'd think your captain dislocating his finger and being sent home would be enough.

First game of Round 5 coming up in more or less than 24 hours. I picked the Crusaders by 10 this weekend. However, I'd be lying to myself if I didn't say I wouldn't mind the Chiefs pulling out an upset win at home after last weekend.

I still believe in you, Stephen! Dan just has greatness following him around everywhere like a puppy.

A good even game with both sides having opportunities to break the deadlock in the first half. Stags came closest with Adam Rickwood being held up over the line. The second half more of the same rugby. Peterborough broke the deadlock with a blind side break from a scrum with a chip ahead resulting in their winger diving on the ball as it dribbled over the try line.

The try was unconverted.

The Staggerers then had all the possession, but seemed unable to make the final pass to score the try.

With five minutes left on the clock Staggerers drove a rolling maul up the pitch getting very close to the line. Staggerers retained possession with Sid flopping over the line from at least 2 meters away. Wilcox then stepped up to take the conversion, complaining that there was no tee available. A mud tee was quickly built, a work of art, and Wilcox converted the try.

Why Leicester fans owe Lewis Moody the right send off

Lewis Moody signing for Bath from Leicester Tigers, going to their oldest rivals of the amatuer era, raises questions.

A three year contract for a player who's had substantial injuries throughout his career, must have been too good to turn down to a man with a young family. Money then only part of his decision. Who amongst us, even if we would have made a different decision, cannot see Lewis Moody's mindest.

Which brings us to the Tigers' fans reaction. As a club, we hear regularly that decisions are made for business. Julien Dupuy was realeased because it didn't suit the club to have to international scrum halves being called up simultaneously, yet he was portrayed as the instigator for the move. Ben Kay and Harry Ellis, internationals both, are being phased out by the club.

So if the fans question loyalty, they want to luck at our management first. If you want loyalty, you have to show some. The more you make the right decision financially, the less you can demand loyalty. You can't have it both ways.

Lewis made his debut in 1996 for the club and since then his commitment has been exemplorary. He has put his body on the line, an often used phrase, for every minute of every game. And every training session. The club owe him the send off his efforts have earned.

WTF?! You Waikato Boys are... Different.
