Indoor fielding drills, lions and a Mongoose 1:36pm on 20 Nov 2009 15 South Africans? so 13 Fielders...? That sounds unfair. No wonder we never get any boundaries.
How the Pumas found their claws 12:45pm on 13 Nov 2009 Whenever I see the Pumas play their cracking brand of rugby after their usual half day of preparation, all I can think is that the less time England spend with John Wells the better...
I'm English, but the Argentina side are a personal favourite as they play in the same colours as my club! Great to see them so strong.
LTA must carry the can for failure 11:24am on 23 Sep 2009 So Murray was injured but played anyway - against medical advice. I wonder if he will get credit from the red-tops for risking his long term fitness and grand slam prospects to play in this shambles. Somehow I doubt it.
The longest day, the shortest hour 12:59pm on 11 Sep 2009 Btw - techie point - just watched the video and when you run, your arms move across your body a lot. Try and get them going straight - will help your sprint times in your next event!
The longest day, the shortest hour 11:28am on 11 Sep 2009 Awesome work - and don't worry about the hurdles. If you'd pushed too hard on that one your hammy may well have had enough and you'd not have been able to finish.
Running sub 5 minutes for the 1500 after all the other events should make you very proud.
Are Saracens losing their soul? 4:12pm on 03 Sep 2009 Fastsimon - I did not realise that! Now there's a club that should be worried about the sarries project, or would they be absorbed into a new south african super franchise!
Are Saracens losing their soul? 2:37pm on 03 Sep 2009 Slater - true. You've also got to think that all these second rate Saffas who prob haven't got international caps will be England qualified in 3 years anyway. At which point they'll be capped over any number of promising English born players.
The point that I didn't make very well was that it doesn't really matter which part of London the club wants to draw its support from, as long as the rest of the country doesn't subsidise it through the RFU international play cash back scheme.
Once they've moved to Earls Court, any displaced Saracens fans will I'm sure be welcomed at a club with more respect for the paying public.
Are Saracens losing their soul? 1:08pm on 03 Sep 2009 Bring on London South Africa. We already have London Irish, London Welsh, London Scottish, London Cornish and London French, (although admittedly you have to look a little bit further down the leagues for some of these teams than most rugby fans are used to doing). Irish, Welsh, Scottish & French players aren't qualified to play for England either.
The problem - as Wasps spelt out last season - is that the money allocated from the RFU for international players is not paid in proportion to the players produced by each club. So it would be unfair for Sarries to take that money when they are doing naff all for England. Fix that and Saracens can decide to pick whoever they want. It'll be even more amusing when they get relegated.
Seconds out as golf and sevens go Olympic 1:54pm on 21 Aug 2009 On the rugby front - is there any reason why London can't include the 7s in 2012?
Seconds out as golf and sevens go Olympic 1:52pm on 21 Aug 2009 How golf got in over squash is a joke.
For all those IOC members with dollar signs in their eyes dreaming of Tiger winning Olympic gold:
1. Tiger will not be playing for Tiger, he'll be playing for USA. We all know how much he cares about that minor event called the Ryder Cup every 2 years.
2. Tiger is solely motivated by major championships. If the Olympic golf week falls the week before the US PGA - not enitely impossible I think given the scheduling - I'd be surprised if he even turns up.
3. He may even have retired by then!
