Just need to hear from boing and EA01 please on chosen payment methods.

WARNING

Is anyone in touch with 'boing'? I am getting a little concerned for him as he has gone big-time 'NORDO'?

OCCASIONAL payments via Paypal are coming in significantly SHORT due to PP charges - AUS and NZ in particular. I may need in future to surcharge the money due for PP payments to avoid being out of pocket! Do watch PP fees!

Rugby

Whether a participant or, dare I say it, a spectator - enjoy.

Good performance by France but Australia not totally disgraced by the 41/17 scoreline.

I have learned that the full name of Leicester Fainga'anuku is

Leicester Ofa Ki Wales Twickenham Fainga'anuku
... His father Malakai Fainga’anuku played prop for Tonga in the 1999 Rugby World Cup. During one of the games during the World Cup, in which Tonga beat Italy, at Welford Road Stadium, Leicester, England. Malakai named his son after the city in honour of the game. Wales was used as one of his middle names as the hosts and Twickenham was named after Twickenham Stadium where Tonga were due to play their next match. ...

I did not know any of that... ^:)^ ;)))

I lived in Leicester for a short while and played club rugby for Oadby and Wigston (Oadby Wyggestonian RFC). My father taught at Leicester University for a number of years, and all my English sisters were educated at a school in Oadby, famous for having Brian May, later a member of Queen as a pupil.

More Brendan Nel...



Personally I think that the All Blacks will come back stronger than ever, and will be up for winning the World Cup. They have the depth, and the bruised pride to do just that!

Will be following watchalong commentary for the Australia/NZ game which begins soon.

From the Guardian live updates a few minutes ago:

The advertised 3.45pm kick-off time can be charitably described as misleading. I wish sports administrators and broadcasters stopped pulling this stunt.

Blimey. That escalated quickly.

All Blacks just hung on for the win and retained the Bledisloe Cup title for the umpteenth consecutive time.

If Springboks win tonight they will win the Rugby Championship .
