Wallabies win!

Australia waltz home : "The result may have been predictable, but at least Australia served notice that the description should not extend to the story of this tournament as a whole."

La Coupe du Monde has been in our sites and hopes and our sports commentators are dealing with it very effectively and enthusiastically. We are not massive followers of rugby during the footie season but the Crows went down last night so there is real solace in knowing we beat Japan, that the Kiwis beat Italy and we are sorry France went down to Argentina but they'll lift their game. France cannot take their rugby results for granted at the movement and they are going to have to get in there and support them and give them some real positives...as the French can! We actually have had a better chance to get to know our rugby players and a lot more younger kids are taking an interest in rugby. Over here you get a lot of kids who can excel at a number of sports. They can do really well in cricket, footie, soccer, cycling , swimming and they tend to change their interests as they grow older. The girls are no different. Our top women athletes are really impressive. So it's nice to get to know the rugby players, know they are doing okay and to see that they are inspiring younger players to get into a game like that with such amazing possibilities for travel as well as competition. So let's see how they go against Wales and the New Zealand team...which really is awesome!
