Brings a smile when I think of Reading as being the centre of Irish population living in London.

Dont forget that from this weekend, Setanta in Australia has the Aviva Premiership and the Magners League commencing. More than enough rugby to fill up the IQ box and relegate Mrs Riddler's recordings of Australia's Next Top Desperate Cougar Bachelorettes Selling Houses to their rightful place.

As I mentioned on the home page, check out the footage at 4:15. Good to see McCaw entering the tackle area illegally and going off his feet even in those early days. :fishing

Were all the boys pumped? Now, where to eat in Durban?

I look forward to buying you an ale or three at the Fox come the start of the new S15 season.

Flicking through my Foxtel EPG, I noticed that this weekend sees the kick-off of the English Aviva Premiership (formerly known as the Guinness Premiership) and also the Magners League (this year featuring the Italian club teams). Maybe my origins but I still love watching the northern...

Can you imagine Deans trying to explain his poor performance and bad result in the sack in best Robbie speak? A possible idea for a front-page diary article.

Shhhhssshhsh - dont tell Robbie or Jim. They havent noticed yet. Wouldnt want to ruin their reputations or anything like that.

Yeah, that would be a great idea because Flowers did such an excellent job before. Wonderful player management, not to mention his fine accountants eye for matters fiscal - you may recall the ARU almost went bust during his tenure despite the RWC2003 legacy. Come to think of it, his media...

I see the chaps have reached their goal. Should hopefully add something special to the evening. I notice that one of the choir is a certain Marc Stcherbina, loved seeing him play a few years back.

I hear there's a newly qualified referee tearing it up in junior rugby around Sydney's North Shore that's showing a lot of promise. Could go a long way if he wasnt closer to collecting his pension than he was to growing pubes.

The best thing about that game was my tipping performance.

Anyone spot the Meerkat deliberating flouting the rules during the recent Eastwood v Uni game on ABC? Taking the piss and feeding the ball into the scrum one handed. Wasnt picked up by either the ref, AR or opposition 9. Very strange.

The might Gordon Stags have indeed entered, as have most of the Golden Oldies teams from around Sydney. The event commences with an opening ceremony march down George Street culminating in what will no doubt be a rather large piss-up in the Exhibition Centre. The Stags will be full resplendent...

Is Du Plessis out of favour at the moment or injured?

Drinking game whilst watching the match Every time the ABs are offside at the ruck or perform some of their other much discussed illegal ruck tactics and get away with it, then a good chug of beer. If the culprit is R McCaw then it has to be two chugs. Think that should enable anyone to be...

As the saying goes, there is only one thing worse than being talked about......

The rankings in Womens Rugby and the history of the WRWC are totally different to the mens game. USA, England and NZ are the pedigree teams with various challengers. This page on the website explains more : http://www.rwcwomens.com/history/index.html

Lee, I think we are all hoping (praying) for that. However, we also have to face the possibility that not all the returning players you mention above will actually be available for the RWC. As we have seen this year, the Wobblies have suffered a very unkind injury run. Who is to say that wont...

Probably the one downside but made up for it tonight on an unexpected invitation for a night out. I think I will be pickled cargo on BA when I fly back on Sunday evening.
