Let's talk about Jamie Roberts for a Moment

Jamie Roberts is what you'd call a 'catch'. He's tall, handsome, soft spoken, has nice teeth, has a nice smile, and not only is he a professional athlete (which means he looks good naked), he's also a med student. That's right, our boy Roberts is studying to be a Doctor.


A generation [or two] ago you basically landed the motherload if you snagged yourself a doctor, this day in age not so much because to be perfectly honest, us women don't need y'all, plus who wants to be married to a dude who's never home and has a god complex.

BUT if you brought Roberts home to your mother, she'd probably squee, make him a nice cup of tea, fix his favorite meal, and interrogate him about weddings and grandchildren, and force him to make promises about Christmas dinner, and going on the annual family vacation...Well at least I know my mother would and my mum, she's tricky. She'll get you Jamie Roberts! She'll make you her son-in-law, whether its through me or my sister! You better stay away...but don't tell Croft, he doesn't need to know any of this.

Anyways, back on point here. Jamie Roberts is hot, seems gentlemanly enough, and has a gentle Welsh accent, that will melt your knickers in 2 seconds flat. If Tom Croft and I weren't already in a really serious relationship, I'd totally be down for Roberts. Maybe he can be what satisfies my 7 year itch...and again, Tom Croft doesn't need to know!

Cardiff Vs Leicester

This past Saturday it was the semi-finals for the Heineken Cup and it went into shoot outs or penalty shots as they call it (????) Yea I know:



Wow, Jordan Crane saves the day, who knew? Whatever, we all know who the man of the match was that day:



*sigh*

Watching this was edge of your seat, nail biting action however I think in terms of shoot outs the NHL got it right. See the NHL only has shoot outs during regular season games both teams get the two points and whoever wins in shoot outs gets an extra point and during the playoffs its just sudden death overtime. I think its unfair that a semi-final game should rely on shoot outs or penalty kicks. To put that much pressure on one player when the entire 80 minutes of the game was a team effort; its illogical and unfair to then, give that responsibility to a single player to deliver the win. Besides sudden death overtime is way more exciting, non?
