Super 15: Too good not to share...

Surgeons say McCaw has plenty of time to recover

Rugby fanatics can stop holding their breath - according to surgeons, Richie McCaw's upcoming operation will be straightforward and the All Black captain should have recovered in time for the Rugby World Cup.

Last week, McCaw experienced pain while doing a fitness test at a training session and a scan revealed a stress fracture. He will need surgery for a screw to be inserted into the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot.

The 30-year-old will miss up to six weeks of the Super 15 season with the Crusaders, but surgeons the Herald spoke to yesterday said the injury should not linger beyond that.

After staying in NZland, where rugby is more than just a sport, it's a religion... I had to laugh!

Gogga!

Dean en Brien went for a motorcycle adventure. They did a bit of camping for one night.  The next day they woke up and started their drive again.  They stopped at a spot to take a few pictures.  That is when Dean saw some long legs appearing from under Brien's bike.

Rebelling against shouting: "REBELS!"

We went to the rugby match between the Melbourne Rebels and the Crusaders last night.  What a match! The Rebels by no means pushovers - like we kind of expected them to be.  The 13013 strong crowd roaring their appreciation and getting behind their team.

We had so much fun, even though I kept on reminding Leigh that the Rebels are our "B" team.  We shout "Stormers!". My daughter got so caught up in the excitement that the cameras caught sight of her and she ended up on the "big TV".  I can not think of a nicer way to spend my Saturday evening.

What a beautiful home ground! Can't wait for the South African teams to visit! We will definitely be seeing you there...  Melbournians make an effort! It's worth it!
