Last week saw 22 SAS, SBS and Aussie SAS playing for the SF World Cup, I could tell you about it, but then you know what I’d have to do
Last Wednesday, it was Poole versus 22, hot day, pitch like concrete and a scratch team, meant Poole lost
Watched the game on Thursday with Taff, between the frogs and Aussie SAS (who played an ex-member of SB, he didn’t get too much attention
) One of the toughest games I’ve ever seen. Aussie team actually are a team, who play regularly in local league and it’s the end of their season. They were shit hot. However, what SB lacked in team play and ball skills, they made up for in shear aggression. Scared the shit out of me, standing on the touchline First half saw loads of bone-crunching tackles by SB and some of the `engages` as the forwards collided in the scrummages, made me wince. Second half saw the SASR start to play to their strengths, whenever they managed to break free and get the ball out to the wing, they were gone. SB did well to lose by 33 to 8. They did manage to put three of SASR`s guys in hospital, though
After the game, Taff took me for a couple of wets in a Digger’s bar, usual boy’s mess, brick walls and tiled floor. Sort of place that’s easy to clean up
Then we sauntered down to the Stripeys` Mess for munchies and a few more wets. Met JB, who was attached here a couple of years ago, Stevie( Sunman’s mate), Screwey and Ginger Taff with the sunburnt nose. Great blokes, all. 
Plus some of 22`s lads Must say, they could learn a lot from SB in the fashion stakes as light blue tee-shirts with Obi w@#k Obi( think that’s who it was 
) on the front, don’t really compete with the Corporate Trapper image set by SB`s wardrobe department Friday saw the two SAS teams play. Another gruelling game, which the Aussies won 25 to 5, but the cost was only two hospitalised, today.
Biggest surprise to me was that SF teams are now sponsored by big business, at least their sporting activities are. I won’t go into details, but how long will it be before we see news reports telling us that when in action, Seal Team Six uses Femfresh as their preferred femine hygene product.
SB were at the game on Saturday and Rob Parry said he noticed a certain banner
, they joined the England team after the game and so missed out on the attractions offered by the Irish Club.As I approached the queue to get in, I clocked Taff at the front of the queue talking to a young Scouse Blade we’d been chatting with on Thursday, ` Gerrin ere Arry` says Scouse, just as the SSM turns up, resplendent in tartan trews and a Springbok shirt. `Look at this idiot, dumb and f@#k ing dumber, or what?`
`Isn`t this taking the `Any team who are playing England` thing too far Jock`, says I
As he treated me to the SF handshake(ask Chunks )Great night ensued, much Guinness later and yours truly called it a night at about half three. Bloody good week I’ve had and many thanks to `er indoors for putting up with me
Can`t wait for the Corps Dinner, next Saturday Harry Hackedoff, News At Ten, Western Australia
