Got to feel sorry for Wales Jones is one of their best forwards .
"Although the shoulder is stable I received some new damage to the joint throughout this season which needs time to settle," said Jones."
"I need to take a long-term view and make sure its right before I play and that means missing out on the World Cup.

As if to reinforce my post about Dan Carter from two days ago. Ireland would be in worse shape than the All Blacks if they lost their respective first choice fly half.
The team's press officer, Karl Richardson, confirmed: "Ronan tweaked a knee while training on a pitch in Spala and was put on crutches to keep weight off the joint. It is standard procedure. There is nothing to it and he's already...
McCaw has a good attitude

McCaw with a sensible response to his critisism.
"I must be playing all right, I guess," was McCaws laconic response to the charges.

Sorry lads, this is for netball, cycling or gymnastics not rugby.
Just like the other RWC shirts there is a cheaper fat supporters version.
I like the tight fit shirts that are now en vogue but there must be a tip of the hat to tradition somewhere in the design.
A small collar perhaps?

Stoner Caucau not going to RWC?
Comments 0
Looks like Rupeni Caucaunibuca will not be added to the Fiji squad. I watched him play a couple of times this year and I was dazed and confused, I felt he sould be a consistent gamebreaker and I could not get over his gut, a professional rugby player should not look like that. Then he was banned for three months after testing positive for pot, it all makes sense - smoke a little before a game to...

Adam Ashley-Cooper will start at fullback on Saturday for the Wallabies. This a good idea, Australia need to know their options going in to the World Cup but I can't agree with selecting Latham on the bench. When he comes on who is cover for him? I would always start an injury worry rather than have him on the bench. If he is fit enough to be in the reserves then he is fit enough to play, if...
At last something sane about McCaw!
Comments 0
Opensides are supposed to be on the edge and great opensides like George Smith or McCaw should be on the limit the whole game. McCaw found an ally in one of his opponents thins weekend, Australian Number 8, David Lyons -
"The thing about the good seven's is that they play on the edge all of the time and all of them at sometime will be criticised by different people so you've got to expect that,"...
Ireland hire Michael Flatley to ...

Since Jake White has decided that the Boks need a "Zulu Haka" to motivate his side during the World Cup, Eddie O'Sullivan has allegedly decided that this would disadvantage the Irish team so he has commissioned Michael Flatley to "rediscover" an Irish haka. Worryingly, initial reports from inside Flatley's camp seem to point towards hairy woolen kilts and a few high kicks that display the twig...
Weakened All Blacks to go for Grand...

The All Blacks want to ride a RWC winning wave through Europe next fall playing a grand slam tour against all Four Home unions plus strong midweek club sides like Munster, Stade Francais or Leicester. This is a bad idea at the end of what will be a long post RWC season with most of the All Blacks shooting off to Europe for big paydays. The lads down in Limerick can smell 1978 again
