anyone can comment!

Just thought i'd let you know that anyone can comment now...

fiddled with the settings and i think i managed to change it...
so open gates!!!!

Training underway

Well, we've now had several training sessions and I will say that it is seriously hot and humid!
The training turf is a 10minute drive from the hotel and the astro is almost the complete opposite to the Olympic turf... not ideal!
Anyway we just have to make sure we adjust very quickly come game 1 vs Holland!

Last night we were invited out to dinner by the MD of Audi Korea, Trevor Hill.
Trevor played goal keeper for southerns in his hockey days.
We went to a top class traditional Korean restaurant... some 'interesting' food but a great exprerience!!!
Quality night!

Thats all for now,

Later!!

Holding Camp In Korea

Finally, after 3 flights and about 30hours in transit, we arrived in Daegu, Korea for our Team South Africa holding camp!

We got sold down the river saying we staying in the 5 star Inter-Burgo Hotel because we are staying in the '2' star section... not ideal!!!!

It's rediculously humid here... ideal preparation for the Olympics tho!

We have the whole day free to recover from our travel and start training tomorrow!

We received our 1st batch of kit in Joburg... average!
Hopefully the Mizuno kit we are getting later today will be much better!

From the Spice side... still early days but you could see the massive smiles and plenty stares coming from the ladies when Ryk Neethling went to say hi to one or two familiar faces at their table!
Only Brian Scott would be as popular as him....

Thanks to those who have signed up.... enough abuse about the photo thank you :-)

Cheers,
