There is no wrong or right. It's 'are' and there is. Or vice versa.
Would you mind not sending me personal emails with bogus addresses?

"Flutey, the influential New Zealand-born inside-centre from Wasps, will be
available to England from September and must be included," Jones wrote
recently. "Here we have to leave aside the question of nationality and
whether outsiders should be chosen, but we can say that if a player as
exotic, outlandish and poor as Lesley Vainikolo can be chosen by England,
then Flutey certainly must be."

Even if you get through above Wiggin by league position we would beat you at
Knowsley if we can reproduce that first half

| Weather in Wellington Apteryx 12:58:03 |
| | The weather in Wellington at the moment (2.30pm, the traditional time for
test kick-offs) is fine with brilliant blue skies, no wind, a bit of a
wintry nip in the air if you are in the shade, but with the sun warm enough
to make you forget that if you can get out in it. The kind of day that makes
you feel good to be alive, and even better to own a convertible. Ideal
conditions for attractive rugby in a match between the best two sides in the
world.
Unfortunately, the weather for kick-off time (7.35pm) is forecast to be
bitterly cold southerly gale-force winds with heavy rain, and the
possibility of snow on the surrounding hills. Conditions similar in fact to
those in which the Irish test was played. Conditions which no sensible
person would go out in, let alone try to play sport in.
But at least Rupert Murdoch is happy.

As usual Bok management couldn't help but do something whack. Joe van Niekerk is picked ahead of the two standout Super 14 nr. 8's Spies and Kankowski - the latter two not even featuring on the bench! Looks like a lineout ploy to me. Could be that Kankowski needs another week off after his babg on the head?
Maybe they're looking at the weather forecast and see it being a pretty
tight game.
Cheers, aMtt

SANZAR announces D-day for Pumas
by Rugby365
Updated: July 4, 2008
Argentina are one step closer to being included in a major
international tournament, after recent constructive talks
between the Argentina Rugby Union (UAR) and SANZAR.
SANZAR (South African, New Zealand and Australian Rugby)
officials have met in Wellington over the past two days with
representatives from the Union Argentina de Rugby (UAR), as
well as Rugby Canada and United States of America (USA)
Rugby to discuss expansion options for SANZAR's competitions.
SANZAR and SA Rugby chairman Mpumelelo Tshume, SANZAR CEO
and SA Rugby managing director Jonathan Stones, New Zealand
Rugby Union (NZRU) CEO Steve Tew and Australian Rugby Union
(ARU) deputy CEO Matt Carroll held talks with UAR Council
Member Ricardo Garcia Fernandez and fellow UAR
representative Agustin Pichot.
Rugby Canada Chairman Rick Bourne and CEO Graham Brown were
the Canadian representatives present, whilst USA Rugby CEO
Nigel Melville took part on behalf of North America's rugby
interests.
SANZAR managing director, Jonathan Stones, said the
discussions had been 'constructive, open and frank'.
"It was very much an information-sharing discussion with all
parties. We gave an update on the state of SANZAR rugby at
both Super 14 and Tri-Nations level and, in turn, each
country presented their capabilities and vision for the
future," Stones said.
SANZAR also has meetings scheduled with officials from Japan
in Hong Kong later this month, and with the Pacific Island
nations of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga.
Mr Stones said information from the meetings would be
discussed at the next SANZAR workshop in Perth, Australia,
on July 15-17. Potential scenarios for SANZAR's future will
be developed in more depth at the meeting.
SANZAR then aims to have a range of proposals to present to
broadcasters by no later than June 2009.

| Japies put world cup in perspective Rick Boyd 16:23:03 |
| | Modest and sensible comments by new Springbok coach Peter de Villiers
and vice captain Victor Matfield on RugbyHeaven:
De Villiers: "We didn't play New Zealand in the world cup so we have to
beat them to call ourselves proper world champions. That will be a great
motivation for them."
Matfield: "It's probably tougher coming here and getting a win against
New Zealand than winning a world cup."

implicated in the NZ trailer trash affair. Ojo, Strettle, and Brown are
all demoted to the Saxons (perhaps renamed the Sexons?).
Methinks Martin did not approve of those high jinks.
