The comments on Wayne Smith's article in The Australian this morning are a cracker. A Kiwi came up with this comment: to which the reply was: BOOM!

I have a saying "Many New Zealanders are very well balanced, when it comes to anything to do with Australia they have chips on both shoulders."

Another message for the Wallabies: Never. Forget. Mendoza. (At least this time they won't have to worry about fricken laser beams)

It was the lead story on Channel 9's "Today" this morning.

You can add in James Pritchard who was called up as an injury replacement for the Canadian squad. Born in Parkes, NSW and qualified for Canada with a Canadian born maternal grandfather.

An update on the joke going around last week. An Englishman walks into a bar. . . . This time he is joined by a Welshman, an Irishman, a Scotsman and a Frenchman. The Kiwi, Japie, Aussie and Argie couldn't make it, they're going to Twickenham.

By the way,the real contest will take place immediately beforehand with the ACT Vets taking on the Navy Old Salts for the Paladin Risk Cup. ;) We are kicking off at 5:30pm so if you're there early you will get to see a display of running rugby from a bunch of bald and grey-haired blokes and I...

Well it would harden up the players if they did a trip to South Africa on a Saab 340, they would have to go via Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma, India, Pakistan, Iran, Oman, Yemen, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique.

The one item on his resume that I think is significant is the rescue of Kendall and Hazelton Airlines from the Ansett collapse, merging them and creating Regional Express. That involved financial management and capital raising together with establishing a new and successful corporate culture.

We were in the Southern Stand at the back of the first level, just below the boxes belonging to the suites in the Marriott Hotel. As you can see the view wasn't too bad. These were the seats that the RFU allocated to the ARU's travel agency 'We Love Rugby'. We had a weekend package with the...
