Sorry no blogs,been up to Mums.She is not great, so will go every second week. Well the silly season is here!!!! Sporting heaven!!!! Go the BLUES!!!! Its starts tonight, we thrash the Hurricanes!!!! Only one problem, will we win??!! I still feel we have the backs, but worry up front. But Ill be there, sitting right on half way!!!!

South Africa roll India in the first test, I’m still stunned!!!! NZ 3-0 over Bang., Aust. 2-0 v WI..how boring. Time to dump ODI, and just have tests and 20/20. But well done Kayes, a very good 100. How will we ever beat Australia. Lets all pray Bond is fit, and they pick Vincent and Styris!!!!

Breakers, Phoenix, Warriors oh its all so exciting, and the Rally of Sweden, and Daytona 500. Heaven!!!! Even AFL pre season…thank god for SKY!!!!

The word is out…don’t expect to much from the Warriors this year. They are rebuilding, and 2011 will be their year. Remember, you heard it here!!!!

Oh dear, Sky won’t pay to get the 6 Nations rights…it stinks!!!!We have always seen these games…I think it is very sad, and can see lots of people giving up the Rugby channel with this decision.

Oh dear the moaners and knockers are out, Auckland won’t be ready for the World Cup. Auckland WILL be ready for the the World Cup!!!! Yes the stadium should have been built on the waterfront. But its not….its a 30 mins. walk from Queens Street, about the same to Melbourne Centre from the Cricket Ground. So get over worrying about getting there, and walk!!!!

Great to see Schumacher and Massa back as the quickest already. Schumacher and Rosberg, I say it again..the dream team??

Ali update!!!! He’s had his latest operation, on torn achillies tendon. Lets hope a quick recovery Ali…

Good to see Hamish Marshall back in the country, and ready to play for ND. Just a shame its not 4 day games. It just seems crazy to me, we have 3 tests coming up, and all these players are not getting ready with 4 day games.

Ronaldson set to retire…sad, but goes to show at 37 you need to be playing to keep playing.

What do you do with Terry?? He should be England captain, but do you punish him for off field naughtyness??

Lets hope the Phoenix get to stay in the A league after 2011. It would be a sad day if they don’t.

The final word…would everyone please stop comparing one sport with another. They are all great in their own right. So stop and leave rugby, soccer, league etc alone!!!!

Two great champions…The 2 greatest ever?? Federer and Serena Williams. Federer beat Murray 6-3 6-4 7-6 (13-11). His 16th Major win.

Went to Pukekohe testerday to see the 2nd Festival of Motor Sport. Another great days racing. Kenny Smith again won the F5000 feature. 26 cars were on the starting line. Bruce McLaren this year, and its Chris Amon next year. A great idea, that I’m sure will grow and become the Goodwood of the South.

The Blues beat the Chiefs 31-21 at Albany Stadium. A good blow out for both teams, and a good game to watch. I was most impressed with the Blues defence, and their backs. Good to see such a good crowd.

So sad Ali only lasted 3mins. Yes there were a tear or two!!!!

Federer v Murray. Hard to see Federer losing…

Sad to hear Ruben Krugar lost his battle with cancer. Only 39, one of the greats of the game. He was voted player of the year in 1995. Fitting the movie “Invictus”, on SA winning the world cup, should be on now.

So its Serena v Henin. What a contrast!!!! And they have meet 13 times, but never in a Grand Slam. This is just so hard to believe. So we have Henins speed and grace against Serenas power. If Serena can get 75% of her first serves in, I believe she can not. But Henin needs to run her around.

The Aussie Open rolls on…is it one of the great Grand Slams?? Even though it looks more and more like Federer and Serena, the tennis has been awesome. The Chinese girls have been awesome, but Serena and Henin should meet. With Federer likely to play Murray. Will Murray ever win a Slam…will Nadal ever be the same??

Schumacher and Rosberg, could this be the new dream team?? Will this be the best F1 ever?? How will the new teams go?? So many questions!!!!

Read about Jessica Watson and Abby Sunderland. They are awesome 16 yr olds sailing around the world. Their blogs are great, and well worth reading. Jessica is over half way, and Abby started on Saturday. Abby is 2 months younger than Jess.

Good wins to Henin and Del Potro. Two playersa who have a big chance. Isner won his 2nd round match. Great to see him doing so well. The tennis just seems so much better this year. Usually the first week is boring, but not this year. Having Henin and Kim back is huge for the womens game.

Greg Henderson is 2nd overall now, after his 2nd yesterday. Its so great to see him, Roulstan and Dean doing so well at the top level. Proving Cycling has become one of our top sports.

Oh dear the saga rolls on!!! Bowls NZ, worst admin. this century!!!! Well no, NZ cricket comes first!!!! Throwing a match, good on them to play who you want next round, eg NZ and Fleming!!!! This is personal to get rid of Lawson. They have been trying for years.

So sad to hear the passing of Bill McLaren, age 86. A true legend, and my fav rugby commentater along with Keith Quinn and Winston McCathy.

Greg Henderson finished 5th latest stage Tour Down Under.

Wow don’t you love all the sport!!!! What a month, and so much more to come.
