Found some very cool screensavers today over at Planet-rugby.com No prizes for guessing which one I downloaded, but there's something for most rugby fans on that page!
Tim Walsh has been released by the Leeds club and will be heading back to Queensland to play as five-eight back up for Elton Flatley. The news is good for Walsh, but not so good for Nathan Williams or Paul Warrick (sevens player) who were both popular choices locally.
When the Reds take on the Waratahs on May 8 they will be playing at Suncorp stadium in Brisbane. No Ballymorons on that day! The Reds are hoping to set a new Super 12 attendance record. The current record is 41,645 and was set in Sydney back in 2002 when the Brumbies played the Tahs at home. Suncorp stadium is the best (really large) rugby stadium I've been to - mostly because the ground is built for rugby. Other stadiums have been built for multi-purpose use like cricket, AFL, etc and so they're oval shaped. Gotta like having the crowd in and around the action so closely.
Over in the land of the current world cup buyers, er I mean holders.. heh.. trouble seems to have raised it's head yet again! Seems that some of the players' Twickenham match tickets (the one against Ireland in the 6 nations.. the one Ireland won 19-13) made their way onto the black market. Uh oh! Seems that King Clive was none too happy with some of his boys once he got word.
Later!
