Summer Series



Consoling yourself with an elemental excuse, one 
you’d enigmatically distance yourself from usually, 
isn’t the wisest way to survive Sunday. Aha, but a 
12:30am kick-off can’t be deemed sole cause of a 
mind numbing indigence its occasion precipitates, 
unless we can blame TV scheduling, and the way 
they casually slip the gauntlet; even tho’ diligently 
amended recording times didn’t guarantee we got 

all of the actual match we wanted to see; well, we 
knew some weeks back, there is a sleight of hand 
selling streaming connects for a ‘Summer Series’ 
with our National teams playing overseas in USA 
& Wales commencing this weekend, and if it had 
suggested we were about to be duped, we failed 

t' see it as a done deal. Thus awakening in early 
AM to see a Wallabies v Wales 1st Test, I learned 
why even my best efforts only just captured a part 
of the match,15 mins t’ be exact, and the replay’s 
screening on Tuesday; then using the PC to read 
a live Blog & hopefully see some streaming didn’t 

eventuate; demand for up-front cash without any 
security you’d actually get what you paid for said 
what should have been obvious - so I missed the 
All Blacks v Ireland game played in Chicago too.. 
although I got to view the score and knew who’d 
won, tho’ the victor’s weren’t partisan spectators 

and I’d bet a lot of money changed banks …
