What a great headline

Posted by Hamish McBrearty on 6th October 2008

Rugbyheaven has currently has a story with the headline, “Williams moves back back to Blues territory.” Wow, you think, is Ali Williams headed back to the Blues? No! The story is about Paul Williams, who can hardly be moving “back” to the Blues, having not actually played for them before. I really hate these deceptive headlines, but it’s done on purpose to get me to click through to their site, and like an idiot, that’s exactly what I did.

Lack of updates

Posted by Hamish McBrearty on 26th September 2007

If you’ve noticed the lack of updates recently and thought this was yet another abandoned blog on the internet, you’d be wrong. The reason for the lack of updates of late is that I am currently in France for the World Cup. I recently won a contest through Sportingo.com and got the chance to go to the World Cup as a member of the press. Internet access has been a bit hard to come by in France at times and my first priority has been to get my articles submitted to Sportingo as they are paying the bills for this trip. I’m back in New Zealand on Saturday and regular updates will follow. In the mean time here is a link to my author page on Sportingo in case you are interested in what I have been up to.

Posted by Hamish McBrearty on 30th May 2007

Hey, I’m on the All Blacks website!

Posted by Hamish McBrearty on 22nd March 2007

Right now I have two articles on allblacks.com. I’m totally stoked about it, both articles also appear here but will be getting far more exposure on the official All Blacks wed site.

Welcome to Sports After Dark

Posted by Hamish McBrearty on 9th January 2007

This is Sports After Dark, my new blog devoted to the upcoming year of sports. It’s a huge one this year with the Commonwealth Bank Series starting on Friday, the Super 14 next month and both the Cricket and Rugby World Cups later in the year. So I figured I’d start a new blog to bring all the news and opinions about all these events.

So stay tuned, the fun’s about it begin.
