The Australia Under 21s are out of contention for their World Cup - they lost to Ireland 26-13 on Wednesday. Bad luck boys! Ireland and NZ will play on Sunday for the championship, while the Aussie boys will play South Africa in the 3rd/4th playoff.

Andrew 'Joey' Johns has finally decided he's going to stick with league instead of changing codes.... snore.....

Can't wait till tomorrow night :) I'm a bit nervous for the Wallabies - I hope we have a win!!

Go Wallabies!!!!

The Australian U21s walloped Tonga 64-0 last week, and got up 41-3 over Argentina on the weekend to put them into the semi-finals. The Baby Wallabies, who finished second on the ladder will play Ireland (third) in Glasgow on Wednesday, while NZ (1) will play the Baby Boks (4th). Good luck too all the boys!

It was a tough old game in Auckland on Saturday afternoon, and it was great to see the All Blacks 36 thump the Poms (12) yet again! It's a shame that the English are still playing non-try scoring rugby. The English were apparently stroppy that Simon Shaw was sent off 10 minutes into the game for kneeing - yeah well... bad luck! Everyone out there is expected to play by the rules of the game! Grewcock has been suspended for 3 games for stomping on Daniel Carter's head during the match. Sheesh! Is there any real need for dirty play? Let your rugby do the talking guys...

On Saturday night the Wallabies (34) were victorious over Scotland 13, but oh boy there's a lot of work for Jones and his crew to do before they meet England at Suncorp stadium in Brisbane next weekend. Come on guys - get your act together before then so we can all have something to cheer for in the stands :))

In other rugby tests around the place, the Boks were winners 26-17 over Ireland in South Africa, and Wales beat Argentine 35-20.

That's it for now - cheers!
