Kind of irrelevant but how does Italy film rugby?

What the hell's that place in the picture? Kind of like a smaller and less attractive version of the Sydney CBD with a smaller and less attractive version of the harbour in the foreground. One of the quieter tributaries of the Volga would be my guess?

Speaking of Sonny Bill's boxing career; I doubt he'd go to the States to pursue it but with the announcement a little while ago that Barry Hall was going to re-enter the ring (apparently his career as an athlete started as boxing) surely the best possible fight you could ask for in Australia/NZ...

It's almost universal in the Australian media for people to be doing unpaid internships. Obviously it depends on the organisation as to how useful and/or productive they are for both parties but it's my understanding that this has been the situation for a fair while and I guess the PR industry...

In the spirit of qwerty's usual predicting accuracy, everything he said

Gnostic you put it a lot more politely than I would have. Thanks for the trolling, IS, but blaming Carter for the Tahs' problems is so 2009 it's not funny. I actually thought you were a bit better than that but I guess I was wrong. Anyway, I can't really see where Vicks could have gone better...

Point taken and I haven't seen the specific interview but there is often a very large difference between the way someone comes across in a situation like that compared to how they are normally. I'm sure Foley and probably even Dingo don't struggle for words or appear like they're unsure of what...

Not that stats (for better or worse) often have a huge bearing on the selections Dingo makes.

According to Grumbles JOC (James O'Connor) and Sookface will be switching at 10 and 12. Don't know why but at least some of our questions might be answered on Sat... Also, congrats to Bam on the captaincy too. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/pocock-to-lead-australia-into-battle-20111124-1nx11.html

Thanks for the info blindsider, was wondering why the Uni seemed to have acquired a new lake in the last few days when I've seen it in much better shape after much worse rain. Tahboy, I'm not sure what your problem is with Wests but you've made it apparent you have one several times already.

Lol, sorry about that. I was being serious. For me at least, Matfield is one of those players who I have great respect for but no real animosity against while playing (unlike, say, Richie, who I have great respect for but also 'hate')

You hate Matfield? I didn't think anyone could hate Matfield?!

I read this morning that JOC (James O'Connor) was training at 10 at the first (and only?) session the Wobs have had at some school in Hammertown. The article was a crap AP write-up which talked about Hugh Grant and Heston Blumenthal going to this school so I won't bother posting it.

As far as I'm aware most of Uni's players from colts through are studying while they are playing. Obviously Uni are in a position to be able to offer scholarships in some cases but with a student body of almost 50,000 there are always going to be some that miss out and play for other clubs (or...

...we wish

Moses - I thought that 'fair' as a category was similar to 'good' and not worse than 'neutral' so maybe somthing like 'below average' would work better? Then again, that might just be me. Thanks for going to the effort, I'm going to be interested to see the results.

I'll give you commitment but you can't teach technique?!?!

Sorry I was just being pedantic in that you can't study medicine as an undergrad at Sydney Uni, as mentioned in the original example.

Agreed. Well done to the bloke.

Just like all those other kids that study medicine straight out of school at Usyd... :fishing
