What do you know?............... Well this raving madman of a critic must have made some sort of impression on Mr Sports-Crazy as I have been given the Keys to his City. My piece will be known as the aforementioned title. I will attempt with the permission of The Man, to dissect and offer my point of view(suffice to say it could be rather Fiery!) on all sorts of topics but first my Introductory thesis:
Alot infact too much has been said about the ABs strength and reconditioning programme in the last few months. What people dont realise is that this is not the first time a team or athelete has been audacious enough to do the extraordinary to ensure peak physical and mental toughness required to conquer all. The Pele led Brazilian team of the 70s spent 20 weeks in high altitude conditions before the '72 world cup to do just that:prepare to win. Roger Federer spends his entire off season playing in +45 deg sweltering heat of the Dubai desert.Most of you are probably wondering now what I'm aimimg at.
The permutations at the current RWC are such that the ABs may meet France in the 1/4s(if Argentina beat Ireland) then it would be Oz in the semis and then the Boks in the Final. Now if this doesnt require physical and (more importantly)mental toughness, then I dont know what does.
Well personally im salivating at the thought of the ABs running riot over all the Pretenders to the Throne and this would show that they are Pound for Pound deserved World Champions.These guys are always the best team every 3 of the 4 years so this would truly 'shut those gates' and cement their position in Rugby Folklore
I geuss all I can say now is Go Argentina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ka Mate!
