Having been responsible for a few rugby teams turning up on time and staying sober, it gives me solace that the Australia have the same problems. Lote Tuqiri is set to be dropped from this weekend's Tri Nations game with the Boks as he either overslept or was too drunk to wake up. Same difference. Image Uploaded with Skitch!

Brand new England kit looks terrify...

Great to see the new England kit for the RWC. I think it will strike fear in to the hearts of.....well nobody. It's awful with the swooshy George cross going everywhere. The bit I like most of all are the red blobs on the socks, class act.

Ibanez captain, Murphy worried.
Comments 0
France have made hooker Raphael Ibanez captain for the world cup and this must worry Irish full back Geordan Murphy. With devastating speed and a magical sidestep Ibanez glided past Murphy to score in Croke park during Ireland's silly loss to France. Perhaps France should pick him on the wing. If you have not seen O'Gara's analysis of this score in the documentary "Reaching for Glory", you...
Muliaina need to pay more attention...

Mils Muliaina clearly was not paying attention here is a quote from him on the NZRFU website.
The scrum remains the All Blacks main weapon and was demolishing the Wallabies' in the second half before tighthead prop Carl Hayman was sin-binned by South African referee Marius Jonker for a professional foul in the 62nd minute.
Fullback Mils Muliaina was adamant that was the difference.

Is this the weakness in the All Blacks everyone was looking for? Striling Mortlock exposed Luke McAlister after Mils Muliaina was moved to fullback before Saturday's game. Mortlock really did nothing until ten minutes into the second half but his two line breaks led to both

Wycliff Palu only made it to the half on Saturday after aggravating an old injury while tackling All Black Gerry Collins. He was having a good game and this may rule him of the World Cup.

Will Brian Carney make the Irish RWC squad? I think he will, he adds a different dimension. Happy to see him playing union after all those years up north.
Eddie O'Sullivan needs impact off the bench and Carney would provide that. You can see how Graham Henry uses his bench and while Ireland does not have that strength in depth a greater utilization of his replacements will be required to win...
Because of yellow it is All Black

Watched the Al Blacks go down to Australia today 20-15. I enjoyed the contest and thought the All Blacks were lucky not to have a player carded before Carl Hayman was in the 62nd minute. Australia popped 14 points on the board in the next 10 minutes and did enough to win the game.
The Tri Nations is more interesting in this RWC year and I'm looking forward to Australia taking on the Bobby...

Could be a good warm up for the US, Munster will be without all the Irish squad members - almost a Magner's side. I'll give it to the US by 5.
I seems New Zealand Maori captain Rua Tipoki will be with Munster. Tipoki, 31, should join the club subject to obtaining a medical clearance and work permit. He recently captained the Maoris in the Churchill Cup. You can buy tickets
