ETNZ loses again

Another early morning watching the video tape. Yet again a NZ sports team is heading towards snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Barker is doing nothing for my blood pressure with his poor showing in the start box. Once the start is lost, it becomes a procession to the finish, unless the rival slips up. Two more chances and they will be following Oracle home.

Now there was a rout if ever there was. The initially lippy Dickson has finally been put in his place - been very quiet of late! It was a good move on ETNZ's part to let the two reasonable contenders / high threats sort it out amongst themselves, rather than initially taking on one of them ourselves.

Come on ETNZ - get it over and done with - excuses do not count in this game. As the Spanish so passionately said the other day, they are always there to win the next race.

Whoever gets to the final out out of NZ or Spain has a formidable opponent to face in Luna Rossa. They have always looked strong and I would bet that they are as strong as either NZ or Spain.
