Breaking news....Breaking news....Breaking news....Breaking news...

Its Finals Day at the Phuket Heineken International Rugby 10s

Well on day two where the young studs with the odd old lag making up numbers were finally able to strut their stuff the weather stayed fine for most of the day although the odd hairdo did get mucky in the mud. Although the conditions were at times more suited to water polo than rugby the quality of play throughout was outstanding and once again as the short game was better suited for the mud and the big bruisers of the pack came into their own with some tremendous hits close around the ruck area and exceptional ball skills. There were glimpses of brilliance in the back line too where despite the worry of how the hair was looking due to lack of hair dryers, many tries were scored though open running rugby and slick handling.

Contenders for the Plate Quarter finals are

Hong Kong Raiders v Phuket Vagabonds
Singapore Bucks v YCAC
Bangkok Bangers Colts v Melanins
Bedock Kings v Taipei Baboons

Tour Virgin Beauty Pageant 2012

In what was a closely fought contest the annual Tour Virgin Beauty pageant was held at the Taipan Disco in Patong Beach. 
Ezmeralda Muppet will never be remembered as a runner up
 In one of the most popular decisions ever seen in the competition the Melbourne Rams finally won the prestigious event after many years of heart ache. As the contestants were whittled down to the last two it was between Esmeralda from the Flying Muppets and Bruce from the Rams it took two count backs to separate the two. In the end as being men we couldn't come up with decisive winner a REAL women was chosen from the audience to chose the winner and after another romp around the stage to the cheers cat calls and howls of laughter from the assembled audience it was finally decided that the Melbourne Rams were the winners.
