Too much sport and too many other things on my plate the last couple of days – moving house is NOT sport.
However, I will be in Oz for the next 5 days which should provide fertile material

An Irish article suggested that the All Blacks were the Chelsea of World Rugby.
Fair enough.
But it then went on to repeat the urban myth that the All Blacks is effectively a Barbarians-like team with the selectors chugging around the Pacific Islands grabbing players.
International rugby does not operate a transfer market. That’s the official IRB line. [...]

OK, so we won the rugby and lost the singing.
The decider – let’s hope the decision isn’t based on the quality of the sports writing.
The Pommy press (I must put together some links!) have been universally in praise of the ABs effort.
An article in the Daily Telegraph by Martin Johnson takes the cake (actually, it [...]

There’s been a huge amount of press in NZ about how the Lions and our Brian simply won’t let go.

I’ve just read a superb article in the [...]

A couple of reasons why Diva SHOULDN’T win, CAN’T win, WON’T win.
No horse has won three years in a row. Never.
No mare has carried that much to win. Never.
The track’s too hard – her best wins have been on wet tracks, not dry and firm.
This is racing – hard-nosed, real life. It’s not [...]
