Okay... so I was soundly spanked last week. It seems to be my first round trend of late. So, once again, the epic catch up must start and fast. This tri-nations series doesn't give you the luxury of 15 weeks, a la Super 14 competition.

To help remedy that, I've made 4 changes... not the one's I necessarily wanted, but it was all I could afford. I would have loved to get Spies and Muliaina... but I went for Kirchner to conserve trades, and had to settle for Burger because of price.

Overall, I think it's a solid team -- not a championship team, but I'm working my way there... I'll be back on equal footing money-wise when the Aussies show up.
