With it now being over 48 hours since Waikato (37) defeated Wellington (31) (also known as the Cathari) I’ve recovered enough to extend my thanks to all the Waikato supporters who emailed me (and left the odd comment here) after the game. Your thoughts are, as always, much appreciated. (See, such magnanimity.)

Anyway, I enjoyed the game (if not the result) and thought the Waikato team were more hungry for the win.

And I’m pleased Keith Robinson made the All Blacks (and Marty Holah should be there too). Also pleased to see Conrad and Ma’a going too as they look the goods at the moment.
