Organization: University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand

Just saw the nominations for NZ player of the year in the paper this
morning - my vote goes to Frank Bunce - no question at all - why hasn't
he been playing for the All Blacks for the past 5 years?? The try he
set up at Carisbrook in the semi-final was awesome - he must have had
4 guys hanging off him and STILL managed to unload to Little. He had
a tremendous series against the Aussies and a pretty damn good domestic
season.

Runner-up  John Timu - from the best winger in the country to the best
fullback in the country in one season! Laurie Mains must be rueing his
remark at the start of the season about fullbacks, something like "..
we've got the answer for the fullback problem and it's not John Timu.."!
Just my $0.02 worth

Unlucky players of the year - Eroni Clarke - didn't put a foot wrong
but there just wasn't room for him in the test backline.
Greg Cooper - just plain unlucky - should have been at the World Cup

Thug of the year - Richard Loe

Anyone else notice how last year's All Black Bernie McCahill can't
make the Auckland side this year??
Cheers,
Allan

Also the selectors have opted for Garth Wright as scrumhalf over Du Preez 
(not too much of a surprise). 

A big surprise is the omission of Drikus Hattingh who is one of few
players who has played consistently during the course of the tour so far.

I consider it a surpirse that they have opted for Naas Botha in place of
Hennie Le Roux (who is a reserve) considering he is having groin problems 
and his reluctance to commit himself when it comes to tackling and this 
could prove to be dangerous in light of the ability of the French to cut 
through the centre.

I'm impressed with the loose trio of Wahl Bartmann, Adriaan Richter and
Tiaan Strauss who are quick to the point of breakdown and I must pay
tribute to the selectors who have confidence in them.

With regards to the choice of Hugh Reece Edwards at fullback, I find it
surprising since Theo van Rensburg (in my opinion) did nothing to warrant
exclusion but it seems that the Springboks are opting to play percentage
game with "Botha kicking the leather of the ball"(Daily News, Durban,
15 October 1992).

Another surprise is the selection of Willie Hills (who was originally chosen
as a prop) at hooker over the specialist hookers Harry Roberts and Andries
Truscott.

The full team (with 5 new caps and 7 changes from the team that was
thrashed by the Aussies 26-3) to play the French in the 1st test is:

* = New Cap
+ = Change

15 *H Reece-Edwards 
11 *J Olivier
12  P Muller
13  D Gerber
14  J Small
10  N Botha (Captain)
9  +G Wright
1   J Styger
2  *W Hills
3  +H Rodgers
6   W Bartmann (Vice-Captain)
4   A Malan
5   A Geldenhuys
7  *A Richter
8  *T Strauss

Reserves:
R du Preez
H le Roux
T van Rensburg
H Roberts
D Hattingh
B Rossouw


Here's my R0.02 for the Springboks. See how they run.

Wishing them the best from the Guys at Elec.Eng at University of Natal

Well since the furore has died down,I was pleasantly surprised to hear
that the French have stopped Loe from playing in France.Now we are starting
to get to the 'just desserts'.Loe's suspension is pending an appeal.

In the papers/news in Aus,Loe has been described as Lucky.Lucky he didn't get
life,but now the general feeling is that Loe may get a reduced sentence.
This mainly being for his farm/family hardship.
Speculation from his lawyers indicated that Loe feels he has been unjustly
dealt with.

One quip,as the Wallabies were flying out to Ireland S S Young was seen to
show the paper that had Loe's suspension.His gesture was one of victory
followed by.." they finally got him".

As for the official viewpoint...... I'm not privy to board/judiciary meetings,
but there is some speculation that Loe was tried by media.The official comment
I saw on the news ,went along the lines of..
"Because of the number of times the incident has been shown,Loe was guilty
before he entered the board.However,no matter how many times it(the gouging)
was shown,the more it is shown the worse it looks."

Wanna hedge your bets.????

As for his replacement(Loes),some names have been mentioned.None of which
I have heard of.Is there  someone of equal scrummage ability that has an
edge over someone else.?
Interested parties would like to hear about genuine contenders.
Cheers allanc

Many thanks to the people that replied to my previous posting. The complete
list of internationals before Christmas is as follows:

17 October	England v Canada
17 October	France v South Africa
24 October	France v South Africa
31 October	Ireland v Australia
14 November	England v South Africa
21 November	Wales v Australia

Note that with the exception of 7 November there is a game (or two) every
Saturday in this period, plus of course the tour games. New laws permitting,
there should be some great rugby to look forward to, then of course the Five
Nations come the New Year...

This just isn't true, Gary Freeman eye gouged someone when he was playing for
Balmain a couple of years ago... I don't know how much of a suspension he got
but it certainly wasn't as long as Loe's one and it certainly wasn't a life
ban!!!

Although I'm not saying that Loe didn't deserve the suspension he got. He's
had it coming for a long time... 

And who is going to be his replacement for the All Blacks?

Oh crap! Loe didn't hurt poor little corozza on purpose. Even the video tapes
showed he was going for the ball (Which wasn't grounded eithe BTW). Haven't
seen any Aussies calling for that wanker that stomped on the All Blacks in the
last test either. Pretty one-eyed yourselves.

Anyway. Loe got 9 months suspension./ Although it translates into more like 18
months because it doesn't start till april, and effectifely keeps hime from
rugby until the 1994 season.

Just to go on the record, I do think this one was below the belt, and the
sentence was a just one. I'd be surprised to see him playing in 94 either, if
he has to stop playing completely till then.

I agree.  Richard Loe is an anachronism that the game
can't afford.  Doesn't he realise that rugby has changed
and that tight forwards are allowed to be athletic and
skillful - that thuggish standover tactics aren't appreciated
by fellow players or spectactors?  One hopes that the New Zealand

	I don't know much about this group, and hope to receive some
information about it.

	I enjoy playing and watching tennis during my free time.  I like
to know all kinds of tennis news, like news about both ATP and WTA tours.
I am also a big fan of Steffi Graf.

	Does everyone know the mailing addresses for pros?  I would really
like to send a letter to Steffi Graf and Michael Chang.

	If anyone would like to talk to me about any tennis stuff, I 
greatly appreciated.

I think Edberg  deserves to have a sympathetic crowd for 
a change.  Since the U.S. Open, he has played the Davis Cup matches in
the U.S. amidst understandbly biased spectators, and then the Australian
Indoor where, from what I heard, there was a large Croatian crowd 
cheering for Ivanisevic at the final.
And yes, I heard that he got blasted by Ivanisevic, so he's definitely 
going to be no.3 now in the ATP ranking.
As Edberg himself said: There's always another tournament next week.

Yeah, ESPN signed a contract with ATP(?) earlier this year and
they will broadcase all nine Champioinship series events. I am not
sure that it will only the semi and finals or every day in the
entire tournaments (as they are already doing in New Haven,
for example).

>Now, if they would only televise more WTA events.

Exactly. ESPN is showing fewer and fewer WTA events. Those in the
US still get reasonable coverage one way or another (ESPN, Prime
or sometimes NBC), but ESPN has really cut down their coverage
on tournaments in Europe. This year, Berlin and Zurich are gone
from their schedule, for example. Rome has been gone for a while.
The only one left seems to be a Wimbledon warm up. :-(

I recently purchased a set of NET PRO TOUR STARS tennis cards
the copyright was (c) 1991 Protennis Player Cards Inc.

I have a couple of questions:

  Question 1:  There were only 98 cards in the set I picked up.  This
               strikes me as an odd number for a set of cards.  I this
               the actual number of cards in the set or was I shorted?

  Question 2:  I noticed a large number of "big name" stars were not
               in the cards.  IE:  Gabby, Jennifer Capriati, Lendl
               anybody know why?

  Question 3:  Are there any other tennis card sets?

If anyone could help me out with the answers to these questions I would

No, I think the problem is clearly the open racquet face.

You don't have to be wristy, just start your swing lower than the
ball and follow through high.  But keep that racquet face vertical
or slightly closed, else it's Lob City.

Additional info: length of match, 1 hr. 50 min.  Reportedly, Steffi's
topspin backhand was much more a factor in this match than in previous
matches this year.  Graf also won the Zurich event last year.


Yesterday, I wrote about the Graf vs. Novotna semifinal at Zurich:

> Graf defeated Jana Novotna 7-6 in the third set (tiebreak score 7-2).
> Graf rallied from down 4-2 in the third set.

More info: Graf actually was in control of this match at 6-2 4-3 but then
proceeded to lose 10 points in a row to allow Novotna to take the second
set.  Also, Novotna served for the match at 5-3 in the third set, but
suddenly her serve desrted her (most likely nerves kicked in).  Novotna
has had so many chances to make a major breakthrough but seems to always
have difficulty seizing the moment.

Knee Injury early in the second set.

The Seiko tournament in Japan scheduled to start next week is supposed
to have been star-studded with many of the big names in the event. But
apparently Courier and Agassi have withdrawn. Courier is suffering from
bronchitis and Agassi is supposed to have had flu, during the Australian
Indoor and has decided to rest some.

The Seiko field still has Becker, Lendl, Chang and the perennial Japanese
favorite, Edberg.
