On Ruan Pinaar I really rate the guy but I'm pretty sure he picked up a knee injury against New Zealand and won't play again until sometime after the International window.

I think HJ got the national broadcaster feed from RTÉ.

Would like to see about 11 changes to the match day 23 for this one. Ireland have a habit of underperforming after a big win when they go into the next game as clear favourites with a practically unchanged side. New faces will bring impetus to the performance as players put their hands up for...

Really raging I missed this one. Will be back home in time to see the other 2 games in our schedule but this one sounds like it was really special.

RTÉ really cover sport and especially rugby really well. Just wish that did more of it.

Here's a BBC article where Habana talks about Dr Sherylle Calder. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/legacy/simonaustin/2009/06/habanas_secret_weapon.html

Wow this is shocking news, it's hard to believe he's gone. Wasn't a perfect start but he was moving in the right direction. It was never going to be a smooth upward trend but there were signs that Aus were a real threat with ball in hand again. Next step probably would have been sorting out the...

Uruguay have qualified for the RWC. They beat Russia 36-27 for an aggregate win 57-49. They lost the first leg by a point and were behind at half time in today's game too. They join Aus, Eng, Wales & Fiji in group A.

I didn't see the game but judging by the kits and the fact it's from BT Sport I'd say that clip is from the Bath v Sarries game played last Saturday.

Congratulations to Argentina on achieving their first win in TRC. They fully deserved it after an outstanding effort.

Yes they do. When they're used they generally target the away team's goalkeeper and players taking corners, penalties or free kicks. It's not just Argentina though, many European and South American countries have this problem in football. I hope the IRB does something about it. I hear what...

He may not be as flash as he was when he burst onto the test scene but he's certainly looking like a better all round player. One thing I'd like to see is him cutting out the offloads to no one. The desire to keep the ball alive is good to see, but throwing it to no one he's often making a 50/50...

Finally Argentina get a reward for their efforts. They deserved that try just as much as NZ deserved the win and the championship.

Great try from Savea.

Argies are showing some good ambition to attack from their own line. It's risky stuff and I hope they don't throw an intercept for an AB try.

I'd like to see straight feed reffed closely again so that the scrum law changes really do create a contest. I realise it's not possible to have a straight feed down the middle due to safety concerns but I'd be more than happy to see a straight feed with the 9 standing a step or so closer to his...

Here's what the IRB says about the corner flags. So looking at that, hitting the flag wouldn't put the ball in-goal as it's not considered part of the in-goal area.

Finally a bit of life from Argentina.

Was hoping this would be a tight game at least for 60 minutes. At the moment it's too easy for NZ, but they're not the best in the world for nothing.

It's also great to see real singers rather than the latest winner of X-Factor's Got Talent on Ice or w/e generic TV reality crap Simon Cowell pulls out of his ass.
