amongst themselves...

Southerners Vs Pattaya Panthers Horseshoe Point,
Saturday 2 December 2006
| The
Southerners trip to Pattaya started with that old
clich? of all touring sides, the panic for numbers.
At one stage we were missing an entire front row
until rescued by a work colleague of marty’s,
Dave who after much technical discussion conceded
yes, he could throw a bit, conversation over ‘You’re
in!’.... | Read

Phuket Tens, 27 May 2006
| Click
here for Reed's tour report, edited for accuracy
and chronological order by Ultan. As a consequence
of the edit, the report "does not mention anything
about my admin duties on Sat night nor should it.
That falls under the category of 'what goes on the
road' and will be put in file 'never again'..."

Southerners
Vs Thai Army, 20 May 2006
| The
Southerners pulled off a good win (19-17) against
the Thai Army in a match requested to assist their
build up to the Thai services cup. An enjoyable
game, and certainly a great base to work from for
the upcoming Thai Rugby Union season. Tries to Chris
"I am not selfish" Doherty and Gook "the
racing snake". Man of the match went to Rob
"everywhere" Palmer (although also worthy
of praise is Ultan, who was actually everywhere
- moving from jumping in the lineout's one moment,
to crashing in the centres the next). A good result,
even if most players were not entirely sure what
the score was at full time... | see
