This page has some details of who, how, why and when.

Wednesday the 27th of June. We got bashed.

27 June 2007

We lost our second game in Argey something like 22 - 26. I do not have nearly enough space here to bitch about the ref so you will have to wait for the tour report.

26th June 2007

In Rosario

We are in Rosario and due to play our last game of the tour tonight against Old Resian Club. It is good to be out of the big city but we have found that the mid-week socialising is limited in this part of the world.

It is our last day in Argey and the only ones that will be happy about that will be our livers (and our few remaining brain cells). Will try post a few more pics before we head back.

Before and After.......

In a game played in a mud bath but in good spirits we managed to win the first of our two matches by 4 tries to 2. We also played against a small chap called Patricio Noriega (ask a rugby friend if you don`t know who he is). Luckily he was playing number 8 and more luckily every time he picked and went it was to the other side and not my flank. Lucky for him obviously.

The following photo will only be here for a short while before it heads straight to the pink pages....

22nd June 2007

Well there is a lot to report but I ain´t gonna do it now. Basically everyone is still alive and we have not been kicked out of the hotel yet (surprisingly).

Our game has been postponed twice now but we have a guarantee that we will finally get to do some Argey bashing this evenning. Wether anyone will be in a state to update the site tomorrow in another story because "Hey! Hey! It´s Friday".

21 June 2007

Our game was called off last night due to a power failure (they must have a Koeberg here too) so we will be playing tonight. Probably a good thing as many of the guys were ginger yesterday and are looking a bit better today.

Hey all!! I have posted some pics in the Gallery and a small news letter here (news letter is from yesterday. Much silliness happened last night but I will tell you about that later).

Our hotel contact details while we are away in case any of the players' illegitimate kids want to call them for Fathers Day.

Roughly where we will be staying in BA...

Well this is a basic rundown of our schedule.

Day 1 Sunday the 17^th – Buenos Aires

Arrive Azeiza Airport. Cruise to hotel. Check in. Then we have booked a team dinner at a spot in the waterfront (I am sure the Rabble Rousers will all be heading out but being Sunday Milf and I will try and find a church service to attend before retiring early. Lots of museums and libraries to see in the next 10 days you know)

Day 2 Monday the 18^th – Buenos Aires

Breakfast at hotel (afore mention Rabble will miss this due to hangovers).

We then have a city tour and the rest of the day is free.

Day 3 Tuesday the 19^th – Buenos Aires

Another free day (except for the ridiculous suggestion of training)

Day 4 Wednesday the 20^th – Buenos Aires

We play our first match today at 19:30. Judging by the recent temperatures we ain’t gonna be sweating too much. Then afterwards we have a post match function (except for the front row who will be checking into the Buenos Aires Chiropractic Institute for the night)

Day 5 Thursday the 21^st – Buenos Aires

Today is free but we might do a river tour.

Day 6 Friday the 22^nd – Buenos Aires

While Milf and I try to catch a Ballet at the Royal Buenos Aires Ballet Company the rest of the boys will probably be heading out for a night of debauchery.

Day 7 Saturday the 23^rd – Buenos Aires

After picking up Sarge at the liver transplant centre we will be heading to a local club rugby match. Followed by a few cultural exchanges with the locals (by culture I mean body fluid and by locals I mean chicas)

Day 8 Sunday the 24^th – Buenos Aires

Milf and Moby try to find an early morning church service so we can spend the rest of the day in the City of the Dead paying homage to Evita (Peron not Bezuidenhout). Some of the rest may go to a football match.

Day 9 Monday the 25^th - Rosario

We head off to Rosario (Yay new Museums)

Day 10 Tuesday the 26^th - Rosario

We play our second game and have another after match ceremony. Maybe some more cultural exchanges.

Day 11 Wednesday the 27th

We head back home. Some of us are going straight into the Alcohol Induced Psychological Disorder wing of Valkenberg.
