Tana Toughs it Out
First, I’m over the Kiwis match at the weekend.
Almost.
I will make sure that I won’t refer in any way to those cheating Aussies (who actually have a bit of skill and pace, let me give you the tip).
Anyway, this isn’t about league although it involves a couple of NZ’s best-known leaguies – Tana and $BW.
We’ve been tracking Tana’s progress and he’s no pilgrim.
Mind you, he’s worked the oracle (miximing my manic metaphors) and managed to keep Toulon in the first division in France.
With only one game to play, Toulon have stormed to 10th in a 14 team league, with the bottom two teams taking the plunge.
For what it’s worth,US Dax andMont-de-Marsan have been relegated.
But not Toulon and that’s all that matters for a two bit blog like this.
Next year, he’ll have some help on the coaching front while on the playing side he’ll have to do without the services of Jerry Collins who’s off to Ospreys.
There’s a pun about leaks and defence there but let’s just leave it there for a moment and acknowledge that Tana *appears* to have saved his butt, at least for the time being.
