Top of the rugby world’s news agenda today was John O’Neill’s brainfart that “It doesn’t matter whether it’s cricket, rugby union, rugby league – we all hate England” I can only assume JO’N was into the 5th bottle of claret at an alicadoo function when this blurted out because it wasn’t the...

Springboks – 36 Arse-clowns (England) – 0 This was a rugby version of a public butt-rape. Today,...
Disaster strikesNews and previews Well, we’re only minutes away from the Boks taking on the poms in the world cup so I thought I’d throw a few words at that before raising a few pieces of news for the Wallabies vs Wales in Cardif tomorrow. While the two match ban of the...
Where do the Rugby World Cup contenders stand with all the warm up games out of the way? You’d have to say that the faces with smiles on them will have a beret above and garlic underneath. The French have dispatched all comers, at home or away, and while doing so still...
Here’s the one try of the night. Note to Knuckles: in the replay, watch how Jauzion gets on Farrell’s inside shoulder. I’d love to see Beavis Mortlock doing the same thing in the quarters. Tweet
France 22England 9 A few too many vinos tonight for a detailed analysis, but at the end of the day, France cantered to this win. Too much class for England’s 10 man game. You’ll see lots of talk about how Farrell was great. Ignore it, they’re dreaming. He was actually pretty ordinary.What...
Time for the real deal After a season full of B teams and selection trials, tomorrow’s clash...
Today the poms – under coach Brian Ashton – announced their 30 man squad to go to France. As these guys could well be more than just a big banana skin in the Wallabies’ path at quarter-final time, it’s worth having a squiz at who we could be up against. The forwards...
Above – big Phil Vickery gets bitch-slapped by Dimitri Szarzewski England 15 – France 21 This was a fascinating clash at Twickenham on Saturday, the key question being whether the English forward centered game plan would be enough to subdue class opposition. The answer, especially pleasing from an Australian viewpoint, is that...
The England team to take on the Rugby World Cup 2007 hosts – France – next Saturday was announced today. It has 11, yes eleven, changes from the team that destroyed the Welsh last weekend. Looks like Brian Ashton is mixing it up a bit.Notable changes: Catt in as captain and 12....
So what does this result mean for the Wallabies, who will definitely meet Wales and probably England in the early stages of the World Cup? Unfortunately, despite the scoreline, there’s probably not too much you can take for the Welsh match-up as they were missing at least five big names and will...
Here are some video highlights from the England’s 62-5 drubbing of Wales. The vid could’ve done with just a phase more of the build up, but gives a good flavour of the game. Tweet
Regardless of what you think of the new Wallabies jersey, it looks a hell of a lot...
England 62Wales 5 So you turn up to ‘fortress’ Twickenham with a half strength side, but you figure it’s a baking hot day and hey, you’re Wales, you can probably run the ball around a bit to hold up your end. Just how wrong can you get. England today displayed exactly how...
Considering it’s going to be getting towards 30C at Twickenham, it doesn’t exactly feel like a classic...
