Right. According to sauces on gwl@d, announcement of tim Cymru is due at 1pm. Got all bases covered I hope. This site, gwlad, bbc NZ Herald and RWC. Shit, I am nervous. Not expecting any changes much, but would be much calmer if RP is confirmed as playing. Word on street is Hook is in. This...

Thanks. Just went over there. Looked at the 20 greatest NZ players. Shit. They have consistently produced some peerlessly awesome players. Vitriol against Bryce Lawrence is presumably trying to avoid him reffing the final

This kind of cr@p pisses me off. http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/home/news/newsid=2058606.html#france+seek+chink+welsh+armour I go to the article (cos there's very little else from French team) and there's NOTHING about a chink in the welsh armour at all. Just some drivel from Yachvili that...

Where's Moffo? Was wondering briefly last night where is Australia's own Dai Moffet and why during RWC we haven't seen his face in the press claiming that Wales' success was all down to him.

Thassright. Stephen Jones = 'Wellies' or 'count' Actually not totally convinced that this whole story is not bollocks and an attempt to change frogs' gameplans a la Rory Best. Just checked over on RWC site and there's another news story about Hook being ready to replace Priestland - if he is...

Saw that on Gwlad. It's still not official though. Wellies definately. Hook throws too many intercept passes Hey Dai, if yew see tim cymru first, d'yew mind posting it?

A family of England supporters head out shopping, for Barbours, in Richmond, one Saturday before Christmas. While in a sport shop, the son picks up a Welsh rugby shirt and says to his sister, "I've decided I'm going to be a Welsh supporter and I'd like this shirt for my Christmas present!"...

the evidence is clear. The madness of unbridled optimism has reached the highest echelons of WRU. Have written to BBC asking them to remove this link before the mocker gods see it and wreak their revenge. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/15273839.stm fortunately the site does...

think I made the same point earlier on. He doesn't need much space to release Beale but he needs some and at moment he isn;t getting it. Am worried too that if gameplan fails on Sunday, he will be blamed, when it's not his or genia's fault. they are currently always on backfoot. Means that...

Not saying he is world class. Larkham, Lynagh, Carter, these guys were/ are gods who seem to just generate space for guys outside. Cooper doesn't work like that. He seems to needs broken play or sace to generate it with a sidestep. I' like him because he isn't like any other outside half. He is...

Cos the Australian gameplan for attack that deans has built depend on him pulling off virtuoso unpredictability. More than any of the other three teams, he has to be given the opportunity to expfress himself. trouble is other teams all know it and are targetting him with three runners.

then why is his game going to pot?

Any one who whinges about refs' decisions- so that's most of them. the late great Bill McClaren never did. The closest he ever gets is the '78 Haden and Oliver incident. from memory he said it was unusual and may later have said controversial. Hate Eddie Butler but he leaves the refs...

QC (Quade Cooper) is potentially a great outside half who requires better managing to help take the pressure off him and allow him to play his natural game. It has been a PR disaster to pretend that he doesn't care. This has wound up the kiwis more and more. read the SMH last two days and there must have been...

I think the best of the world cup is the atmosphere it generates around it. There's something missing from the professional game these days of people getting together and just enjoying each others' company because they love rugby. The RWC provides it and makes it really special. would love to...

Not at all. Like I said, the poll may not be represntative or else asks a question that is impossible to answer fairly. FWIW I've actually had great times in France and 'specially loved Ireland and Scotland trips in 6N. Aussies supporters in Cardiff were great during and after the game...

Thanks for the warning. It's down the pub for both games then

Not at all Just pondering the results of a poll that places argentina and Ireland and Eng**nd at the top of a survey of best rugby supporters in the world

So I'm going to a fancy dress party at the weekend. Went to the fancy dress shop and told the girl behind the counter what I was after Couple of minutes later the girl brings out an England rugby shirt "Sorry love - you must have misheard me, I said I wanted to look like a Count"

Been scouring the ether for something good on NZ TV. anything. This gem in Adam is all so far http://www.youtube.com/user/tcgw?feature=chclk#p/u/4/m6E4q9Dph58 Anything else - or is just all really bad?
