ncorrenti 0 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Farquah hasn't reported back yet... I reckon he's in hospital! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 He tried to put his little finger up Terao's bum. Rugby players always do that sort of thing. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hehe yes they do... considering they do that kind of thing on-field, it makes you wonder what they get up to in the showers! Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 A very interesting day all round!!!! He certainly is a big bloke BUT...........I didn`t lose!!!!!! Then again I didn`t win either! Was a contest for him to wrestle against 100 guys, whoever won bagged a million as I said earlier. We were given our wrestling order by random and I was alloted number 49. Pretty decent postion as Teraou would be a wee bit tired by then. Watched all the previous bouts up to 40 and was getting very excited. Next ten called out to the warm up area and I took my place. Had a little interview then was four people off my turn!!!! Definately ready for it now................then there is a massive cheer!!!!!! The bugger 45 has gone and beaten him!!!!!! Absolutely gutted....he bags the money and its show over!!!! No wrestle for me, just all afternoon in a nappy!! Actually was a top day and met some of the TV talents and Terao himself who is a real nice guy (and pretty god damn big!). And at least I didn`t lose!!!! Just working out how to resize my images on new mac and will upload a couple of pics of the day. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan.Com#2 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Hi farquah, it's really interesting to hear about it all! About your photos..... like we said on the uploading page, we really want to keep our Photos section to be ski/board related. As such we have taken the photos out of your Gallery and - because we like you, and this time only - have uploaded the photos to a different location on our server and have linked them into your thread above so they don't disappear. Hope you don't mind. To everyone - please keep photos uploaded to our Photo section ski/board/Japan snow related. Many thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Cheers SJ, sorry!! Thanks for keeping them up for now Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan.Com#2 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 You're welcome. We want people to upload lots of pics of course.... we just want to keep the library of photos up there relevant. We think that in the future the SJ Photos section will be all the better for it! Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Wow, very interesting farquah, and cool photos! So, did you actually wrestle with Mr.Muscle? And what kind of a guy was #45? Former sumo wrestler? Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Farquah, To resize ya pics, the easiest way in iphoto is toselect the ones ya want, press mail and drag them out of mail onto your desktop. If you have alot of pics, try photobucket.com and just add the library's link.. Spewing about not being able to fight! Were they all gaijin? or a mix? Link to post Share on other sites

farquah 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Sorry bit late on the post, was on the big screen for my 40 seconds of fame!!! Good shot of a big white ass in sumo gear! Unfortunately they cut my interview so not too much fan mail arrived yet!! Mates had a good old chuckle at it though!! Time to start preparing for next years now!! Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 From another thread: "I have been selected for the national Japan Rugby League team and 7`s team here this year and recently went on tour and played a test in Australia." Was that a league test, or sevens? Either way you've got some bottle, farquah Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Cheers mate. Had Tests and entered into a 7`s comp in OZ. Unfortunately got a fair pummling but great experiance. We played three tests, Fiji Bhati, New Zealand Maoris and USA. The crowd was awseome with the local Aussies getting well behind the underdogs i.e us!! Got a bit of abuse from the crowd at first which put me off my game a bit but loved it all the same and ended up earning the nickname "blonde samurai"!! The america game was pretty close but they edged it in experiance to be honest. Also the first time the team had really played together. Should be better for September hopefully!! Highlight was probably trainig at camp Wallaby in Coffs Harbour, most amazing pitch and facilities i have ever used!! Link to post Share on other sites
