Yep that's the long term forecast. See; Given it is always colder at night you just have to love these TV "marketing-geniuses" who want to put night test matches on In Wellington, Christhurch and Dunedin in the middle of a NZ winter. Has anybody explained the concept of product to these A-grade knob-heads? grant. ---
Has anyone ever explained TV ratings and prime time viewing to you ?

prevailed against Clermont, the best side of the season so far.
26 - 20. There were a couple of foreigners on the fied : a certain Kelleher
as well. His joy was really pleasant to watch.

| NZRFU KOs Cowan Kees Echo 11:30:30 |

Cowan cleared to play for ABs
LATEST: Disgraced All Black Jimmy Cowan has been cleared to take his place
in the squad for Saturday's test against South Africa.
However, he has been fined $3000 and ordered to cease drinking as a
condition of his employment after a NZRU misconduct hearing in Wellington.
News of Cowan's "punishment" emerged after a hearing that went on late
into this afternoon. Earlier All Blacks coach Graham Henry had spoken of
his "disappointment" and "annoyance" over the continued bad behaviour of
his second-string halfback who has been involved in three disorderly
conduct incidents in the last few months.
The New Zealand Rugby Union confirmed it had demanded Cowan stop drinking
as a condition of his ongoing employment and said this was his "last
chance" to get his act together.
As well as his fine, he was also ordered to seek alcohol counselling after
three charges had been laid for disorderly behaviour in recent weeks. The
union confirmed Cowan was now facing three charges after the latest was
laid today by police in Dunedin.
"I thank the NZRU, my All Black team-mates, All Black management, my
family and friends for their ongoing support. I'm very fortunate to be
given another chance. This is my problem - nobody else's.
"I'm currently in the process of taking steps to fix it," said a contrite
Cowan outside the NZRU building at the end of his hearing.
All Blacks manager Darren Shand said the NZRU considered a range of
penalties and determined that addressing Cowan's alcohol abuse was the
most relevant action: "Jimmy must change his behaviour if he wants to be
a professional rugby player in New Zealand. We have made it a condition
of his employment that he stop drinking altogether. This is his last
chance."
He added: "We take the matter very seriously and considered other
penalties. However, in light of Jimmy's willingness to acknowledge his
problem and seek help for it we decided that what was most important that
we address the problem openly and deal with it rather than pushing it to
one side."
Cowan's compliance with all conditions of the agreement reached today will
be monitored by the NZRU with formal reviews scheduled periodically.
The halfback remains with the All Blacks squad and will be the reserve
halfback for Saturday's Tri-Nations opener in Wellington.

I saw Weepu in the Jap game and he must easily be one of the top
halfbacks in the country. They've recalled Masoe, how long until Weepu
gets the call up? Be interesting to see what sanctions they pile on
Cowan for his latest hillbilly run in with the law.
BTW, how's the weather down there in Dunedin, Ashy? Crap. It's been a fine, sunny winter in general, but right now it's wet and cold. How's it at your end?
Fucking freezing. And wet. And I'm surrounded by Cantabs.

Help Rugby Return to the Olympics
Rugby Sevens is a perfect fit for the Olympic Games
Help Rugby Return to the Olympics
The IRB is asking the Rugby community to come together as it
continues
the drive to have Rugby reintroduced into the Olympic Games
sporting
programme.
Players and supporters are urged to spread the word that
Rugby Sevens
should be included in the Olympic Games by responding to the
International Olympic Committee's Virtual Congress by
following the
below link.
*CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE IOC VIRTUAL CONGRESS>>>*
<http://www.2009congress.olympic.org/en/Pages/default.aspx>
Presently, the IRB is providing the IOC with considerable
information on
why Rugby should be reincluded to the Olympic Games. The IRB
believes
the ideal form of Rugby for Olympic inclusion is Rugby
Sevens which has
a proven and very successful record in similar multi-sports
Games such
as the Commonwealth Games. The IOC will vote on which sports
to include
in the Olympic Games in Copenhagen, Denmark in October 2009.

Look closely at the England try scored to win the game against Australia - at 5:15 in this video Now in my opinion the nr 11 was offside, in front of the English player who charged down the kick. When a player kicks or passes the ball, the opponent is put onside. (or something very like that.) The try should have been awarded. Well it was awarded - but the scorer was definitely offside. refs make mistakes and this was one of them. cheers, AMtt
Nope, 11.3 confirms.

| Re: USA Rugby Announces All-American Squad for 2008 New Zealand Tour Will 12:46:13 |
| | Mistake Corrected:
The following would be be my explanation in the short form.
First, this is a Collegiate team. At this level of play in the USA the
"All" of All-American would mean that they had received this designation
as being the best players at their position in all of the USA (America
includes both North and South America plus islands and "regions") . No
Club players would have been considered or evaluated even though it is
conceivable that some of these players play for Club Seven's teams when
they are out of school in the summer.

| WP/Bulls Spizz 08:33:56 |
| | Typical North/South battle but with one pleasing aspect missing all too
often in recent years. A win for Province. I thought the Bulls defended very
well though and if not for Hilton Lobberts and his yellow card 12 minutes
from the end, it could have been a different story. Lobberts is a liability,
the Bulls players must be gutted to work so hard for 70 minutes only to have
this ox come on as a sub and throw the game for them.
Province remained patient playing the game mainly in the Bulls half and two
'soft' tries gave the Bulls what looked like another win in Cape Town. The
Province forwards stuck to the task though and really won the battle on the
ground as the tables well and truly turned on recent seasons. The backs
continued to enjoy lots of possesion and thankfully eventually scored two
tries near the death with the Bulls down to 14 men.
Although the scrum was a mess and we desperately need two props, it's good
to beat the Bulls up front and come away with a win. Bragging rights are
ours again.

Leeds were loosing by 10 tonight at one point and had to dig
deep to win.
There was only one correct score that went to Lloyd
The table shows him 6 points clear of Phil L, and now
12 points clear of Gordon.
As Lloyd gets further away from me, I`m reminded of Willie

| Iraqi rugby player Matua 22:22:59 |
| | Iraqi rugby player
The Waratah's manager sends scouts out round the world looking for
a new player to hopefully win them the Super 14 again.
One scout Informs him of a talented young Iraqi winger. The coach
flies to Iraq to watch him,is suitably impressed and arranges for him to
come over to play for the Waratahs Two weeks later, The Waratahs are
30-0 down at home to the Brumbies with only 20 minutes left.
The coach gives the young Iraqi winger the nod to go on.
The lad is a sensation, scores 6 tries in 20 minutes and wins the
Game
for the Waratahs. The fans are delighted, the players and
coaches are ecstatic, and the
media love the new star.
When he comes off the field he phones his Mum to tell her about his
first day playing rugby for the Waratahs "Hi Mum, guess what?" he
says. "I Played for 20 minutes today, we were
30-0 down, but I scored 6 tries and we won.
Everybody loves me, the fans, the players and the media, they all
love me".
"Great," says his Mum, "now let me tell you about my day".
"Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were attacked
and beaten, and your brother has joined a gang of looters, all while you
were having a great time.
The young lad is very upset. What can I say Mum, I'm so sorry.
"Sorry?!" says his Mum "Its your fault that we moved to
Redfern in the
first place!"
