Hi everyone, I’m writing to you from Osaka, Japan. Ive been here since Thursday and have had a few good practices with the top 2 Japanese players, Kimiko Date Krumm and Ayumi Morita. I’m really excited to play here in Japan and build on my form over the last month. This will be my last tournament of the year before starting the new year in Australia. Ill also keep you up to date with my training and preparation during November and December.
Im off to watch the Springboks play in the quarter finals of the rugby world cup now.

Hey Everyone. After my win in Guangzhou I took 2 days off and arrived early in Beijing to start preparing for Qualifying. I’m glad to let you know I qualified for the main draw today. It’s a great tournament, the site has 3 huge stadiums and the players are taken care of very nicely.
I’ve really become quite a rugby fan the last 2 weeks, as they are broadcasting the rugby world cup on TV here in China. The South African team is looking good and I hope they can continue their form in the Quarter Finals. Go Bokke!!!
