Sms conversation...

Two reasons behind this. After my open vaunt on the SA rugby media and Pieter D earlier this week I meant to post PD´s starting Springbok 22 for his career kick off v Wales tomorrow. I didn´t. Reason 2 - I had a study break this morning so sent out a few smses.

Reason 2:

GH#12: Hey PD. Just wanted to say good luck for saturday, big moment eh? Saw your chosen 22. Ambitious. Out of interest what was the response to your selections at 15, 13, 9, 6 and 5? GH12

PD: Hey Gav. Good luck with your exams. Did cop a bit of flack for those selections, but hey you know me, form is what it is all about! Those guys were picked on recent form? P.

That was a pretty brave response, but unfortunately I ran out of study break time otherwise would have replied! This is what I would have said:

Are you stark raving out of your fuckin mind! FORM? If form is your reason then where the fuck are Kankowski and Steyn??? Did you watch the super 14 at all?
