Danny Willett won his first major thanks to a Jordan Spieth melt down and gifted him 6 shots in just 3 holes !!

Aka 20 years ago when Greg Norman surrendered a 5 shots lead and Nick Faldo won (the last Englishman to win the Master until this morning !)

The AFL Footy show has a new lady host:

Rebecca Maddern !








How does she stack up against her NRL counter part:


Erin Molan !









And Yvonne Sampson ?








Whose more fuckable ??

ANZAC Trans Tasman Test in two weeks, Mal Meninga's first Kangaroo Team as a national coach:

My personal picks:

1 Darius Boyd,
2 Josh Dugan,
3 Greg Inglis,
4 Michael Jennings,
5 Josh Mansour,
6 Johnathan Thurston,
7 Cooper Cronk,
8 Matt Scott,
9 Cameron Smith,
10 James Tamou,
11 Sam Thaiday,
12 Greg Bird,
13 Paul Gallen.

Interchange:
14 Michael Morgan,
15 Corey Parker,
16 Andrew Fifita
17 Josh Papalii.

With so many players in form, it's very hard to leave out some form players, but you can't pick them all.

Was very interested to see how the NZ Warriors would perform against the Storms last night but the Kiwis got smashed off the AAMI Park 42 - 0 !! so they looked a bit sad and sorry.

But it will be a vast different looking team when the likes of: Foran, Bromwich, Harris, Blair etc got added into the Kiwi's line up. they had won the last few, looks like is our turn this time.

Go Aussie !!

And I won't be surprised if on match day, that big Mal will have a reshuffle of the backlines: Dugan for full back, keeping Boyd and Inglis the Queensland left side combination, Semi on the other wind and Michael Jennings on his inside. Class and combinations on the left and pure speed on the right !!

[AHLUNGOR]

It's Origin time again and how on earth could the NSW Blues be $1.85 favourite and the Maroons be @$2.00 ??

Even if they have inside information that Cooper Cronk is not gonna to make it tomorrow night, but I think the Cowboy pairing of JT and Morgan will do the job for us, they are after all, the premiership winning halves !!

I am not complaining, have plenty on the Queenslanders to win Game 1 in Sydney !!

Go Queensland !!

[AHLUNGOR]

Half time Queensland leading 6-4, more of the same in the second half and we are home !

Bloody long queue to the loo is always a disgrace for ANZ though !

[AHLUNGOR]

Thank you Queensland !

Now win game II in Suncorp and we can wrap up the series for another year!!

Nice wins for me too of course !!

R.i.P. to the sporting legend , Muhammad Ali !

[AHLUNGOR]

R.i.P. to the sporting legend , Muhammad Ali !

Yes, one of the greatest boxer/sportsman of all times !

Even our own Bruce Lee had proudly admitted that he studied Ali's dance steps inside the ring and adapted some of it as his own, very evident when we saw the final fight scene in the movie Vs Chuck Norris !

When asked who will win if Bruce should fight Ali in the ring, he laughed and said Ali will kill me . So the respects for Ali is quite universal .

R. I. P. Ali, you are a true Champion .

Off topic ! But what Bruce Lee meant was if the fight happened in the ring, with the boxing rules, sure Ali would win, but if it happened in the street fight, with no rules, then it's a different story ! Nevertheless, it's just a hyperthetical question and answer, can't take it too seriously !

Yes, of course, it's all hypothetical. and I believe those interview with Bruce Lee was at the height of his popularity and he was probably being regarded as the best fighter in the world and hence the comparison. And yet without any hesitation he just said Ali will kill him so just showing his respects for the great man.

Personally, I would think that if you put Ali and Bruce in a boxing ring with rules and gloves, Ali will win in the first round probably by KO, but if you put them in the UFC cage and no rules ! then the result could be different. So yes, I agree with you on this one. Again.............haha !!

李三腳 would have been of no use in the boxing ring, fists only allowed !

Damn, what happened in the cricket last night? We got screwed by the Proteas!

[AHLUNGOR]

Damn, what happened in the cricket last night? We got screwed by the Proteas!

Well, at 9/189 with South Africa batting first, you would think we got this, surely we can get 4 runs per over, right ?

But then when Warner gone for 1, Khawaja gone for 2, Captain Smith gone for 8 and Maxwell 2, Marsh 8 and Wade 2 !! It's looking very ugly !!

Even when Finch digged in for a match high 72 off 103 balls, the wickets kept falling on the other side - until guess who? Nathan Lyon put up some fight for 30 off 31 balls, but when Finchy was gone, so was Game 1 !!

I know, I thought 189 was a sure thing, but damn!

Props to Nathan Lyon for a significant 30 . I think he's really concentrated on his batting after being left out of the t20 squad.

Finch at one stage had 75 odd to of our total of 105!

We might not even make the finals for this one!

[AHLUNGOR]

The English Rugby Team had Never won in Suncorp before ! Now they are coaching by Aussie Eddie Jones , they beat the Wallabies in Qld!

With another Aussie coach in the Engjand Cricket Team they won the Ashes back !

And with Wayne Bennett coaching the England Rugby League Team - last time Wayne coached the Kiwis they beat the Kangaroos !

What The !!

I really hate the fact that Bennett is with England now.

He is the best damn coach around, and an absolute Aussie legend.

Why would he coach the poms of all people??

It breaks my heart.

[the_boss_king]

gsw gonna win back to back !

[AHLUNGOR]

If the Blues lose again in Suncorp on 22 June and lose the 2016 Origin Series, would Laurie Daley be sacked ?? I think he should go !

I suggest Brad Fittler should take over for 2017 and Joey Johns can be the assistant.

May be Freddy can do a City vs Country to the Maroons ??
