Are these strictly amateur or more "shamateur" these days? Of the two, I always thought hurling was the better game to watch on TV. Gaelic football ...take it or leave it .. But if you put a big stick in everyone's hands, it gets more interesting!

I get part of this argument. i.e. was it necessary for the last tournament to be: (a) in Madrid, and (b) winner-take-all? No and No. A ¢lo$er look, though, turns those an$wer$ around. Europe is rugby's biggest market and needs to host one of the tournaments. London was getting tired and Paris...

Feisty opening stages for the women in their final

He's already opined that NZR won't okay ABs for Aus teams, so the question is moot. If you look at the situation of NZR (or, indeed, many other national unions, including RA) then you'll already know that it works the other way round. Does NZR's "ok" allow ABs to go to Japan? Nah. The money...

Now they're up!

I know, right?

Riley not having a happy night

And again!

Liking this running rugby

Ah, you were referring to Angelo Smith. Ignore my post.

I know he did some rugby clinic stuff in Fiji but I thought his family background was Samoan, ... with him being born in Oz.

That's better

Well, as a hooker, he has certainly now been hooked
