I've just discovered that the Czech Budvar comes in a 7.6% version. It'll keep me going through the opening ceremony.

That would be telling. Typical comment this morning: "No effort shown. No evidence that you've actually done the readings." Was that you? Anyway, back to the rugby. That Eales fellow - played lock - was good wasn't he?

I have 120 essays to mark, and the 1999 final is on. Faark! I guess I'll just do the usual: put a tick at the end of every second paragraph and give them a credit. Here's the setup. Not exactly a home entertainment system, but I'll work on it.

The AUSTAR guy just finished the install this minute - I'm locked and loaded!! (He, of course, talked about nothing but NRL - "say you're watching the semi-finals and you want to see how Parra's doing ...")

Crap on toast. I'm busy the next couple of days so I had to sit down and do my Round 1 tips. But only one or two sides have posted their starting sides. I'm flying blind!

Hawko - some thorough analysis there to back up your hard marks. Well done. Obviously, the worst ref in that list is Bryce who is there because of who he knows. Lunatic conspiracy theorists like myself might add that he refs just the way the Abs like it, so maybe that is another reason. From...

Wow, Some honest talk there. Sounds terrific, as long as there's not some secret agenda I'm not cottoning on to.

We've struggled for years in the Blue Mountains but finally the Alex(andra) Hotel in Leura is prioriting rugby over the devil's code. Me, Jonnosan, a couple of the Sydney Convicts, and a few others are regulars. Also, the Gardiner's in Blackheath is usually solid.

Will Genia?

Just a heads-up about Foxtel / Austar. I have a dish on the roof that I don't use. I rang Austar (Foxtel in the country) and they are hooking me up: (a) this week (b) with no installation charge (c) under no contract. Note that the "no contract" offer is online only, but you can get them to...

I'm all over it like Oprah on a baked ham.

Odd - all the Kiwis agree. Wonder why? Because he actually penalises you! Do you also wonder why he's on the outer with POB? It's a conspiracy.

But it would be funny, wouldn't it?

BP? Does the RWC have BPs? Why don't I know this? Edit: since 2003. OK.

Gatland is insane. Sell Wales, buy Samoa.

Perhaps make the list of threads longer? I hate clicking through to page 2.

Choke!

I wouldn't get on either if they were telling me it was 40 hours. What are they in, a Piper 6?

Maybe a "Pool of Death" icon? Fiji and Samoa are basically playing home games. Am I allowed to hope that someone injures Bakkies? I think so.

Cracking pool. Battle of the forwards all the way. ARG or ENG to win it. But SCO and GEO could cause an upset if ARG aren't on their game.
