Hugh “Blades” Bladen, the South African rugby commentating institution, is no stranger to spoofs, parodies and tributes. And this most recent shrine must surely be the most professionally put together example yet. Something I feel you will enjoy.
I must therefore steer you towards OverToHugh.co.za:
The site includes all sorts of trivia and funnies pertaining to the man, who the Ozzie’s refer to, as “The voice of South African rugby.”
The best bits are obviously the uncanny videos and sound bites done by the guy behind the site, often referred to as “Hugh Bladen’s Successor.” Check out some examples here.
My favourite is still the original one found on YouTube before the site was made.
HABANA!!!
Very good.
I wonder when they’re going to tell Blades that he’ll no longer be doing the overseas tests, as Matthew Pearce and Kobus Wiese head off to cover the end of year tour, on the pretence that Blades “needs a little rest.”
