Can James answer England call? 3:27pm on 08 Oct 2009 A lot of comments about Foster going through a bad patch now, but if he gets his Watford form back...however, I seem to remember a couple of howlers at Watford too, including letting a Paul Robinson free-kick bounce over his head
Does Australia deserve its boozy reputation? 11:28am on 08 Oct 2009 I think it's rather rich for Brits to have this stereotype of Aussies, with town centres overrun with binge drinkers on Saturdays and alcohol consumptions by football supporters watching World Cup matches on a big screen probably matches the Bathurst levels...
When life on the pitch crosses the ditch 4:49pm on 22 Aug 2009 Hmmm...even after all the talk about the kicking game before the game, there were plenty of kicks and penalties, with Australia almost winning without scoring a single try
Gentlemen of ill repute 7:15pm on 20 Aug 2009 Perhaps thug's game watched by gentlemen would be more appropriate for rugby, although in contrast to football, once off the pitch the players stop with the handbags and go have a beer together instead...instead of throwing food at each other in the tunnel or picking fights with groundsmen
Review of the week 1:38pm on 10 Jul 2009 All of those tweets about Newcastle are a bit rich coming from a Spurs fan...
Lions ratings: third Test 5:01pm on 04 Jul 2009 I think that this match proved that the beast isn't the scrummaging monster he was made out to be after the first test; the bok scrum was struggling in the first half, but when bismarck du plessis came on vickery, and the lions' scrum as a whole, started getting pushed backwards again...
The flying gravy train? 7:33pm on 02 Jul 2009 701 flights? There are pilots who have probably made fewer flights than that...
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 10:35pm on 29 Jun 2009 So if something happens at every ruck, but on one occasion resulted in injury, it deserves punishment? I can't see how that would work, otherwise you'd end up with soccer-like situations of people feigning injuries to get others sent off or banned. Of course that's different if someone is deliberately causing injury, stamping on knees or eye gouging for example, but I didn't think Botha had done much wrong (or in any case anything worse than anyone else in international tests) and Jones was just unlucky to have been injured
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 10:21pm on 29 Jun 2009 The only reason I can see for it being deemed cite-worthy, is that it resulted in a serious injury...at the time, the referee was standing about 1 meter away from the incident, and didn't seem to think there was much to it
Have officials turned a blind eye to Burger? 10:08pm on 29 Jun 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5FV7GDD--w

What is the difference between how Botha clears out, and how the Lions' hooker the tries to clear out Botha? I don't really see anything spectacularly different from how most Test-level forwards clear out rucks...
