Just the play the games despite the Typhoon. I've been in a cyclone before and it's just strong winds and a few things flying around but they'll be inside a protected stadium - would be better if they had the game at the Sapporo Dome or somewhere else with a roof though. I am very keen to hear what...

It is not the middle of the typhoon season though.

This conspiratorial conjecture is of course nonsense- given what we served up versus Ireland, if we were not to bonus point Japan then we deserve to be eliminated, crooked feed penalties or not. I am going to put my proverbial on the block and say we have one of those days and win by 10+, the winni...

Well that is certainly one way to read it.

Conditions are trying right now. Should dial down soon as the season gets colder.

Will be interesting at the Tokyo Olympics. Held at a hotter time of year too. Could impact Ireland’s Olympic team’s results.

Will be more than one Olympic Flame

Never tried it - from people I know who lived there, it's a pretty closed shop for non-Japanese. 40 min hand jobs (tiny hands, presumably) were being offered around like confetti to ANYONE willing to pay ¥10K in Sapporo... Well there you go...... The oldest profession adapts Probably Chinese 8) Or ...

Should add to Cheika's good humour.

That is a joke

Has Francis been cited yet?

Denirostaxidriver

Francis gone as well.

Watching that game did nothing except reinforce my opinion that the Bokke need to try and avoid playing England in a potential semi-final. England always raise their game for big matches. They don't put minnows to the sword like NZ do, but over their last 2 test matches they've conceded 3 points. Y...

What the hell was up with the offside line though??? Sa were offside all day, the ref really kept them in the hunt. There was a clear yellow not give too. I doubt they will be able to beat ireland in the quarters. They played their final today , played well but still lucky yo only lose by 10. They ...

Ref not having the balls to award a penalty at the end. Terrible stuff.

Denirostaxidriver

Careful, fellas. You'd hate to be banned for the whole world cup for a few throwaway lines about "supplements" wouldn't you? A good point, well made ... but you have to agree that they do look really well cut in preparation for the tournament ... should do well. Great job done by the S&C staff ... ...

Album out shortly, with cover designed by Sir Peter Blake who is famous for the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band one. I've been in touch with a certain lady and hope to get a signed copy. I booked them many years ago and the lady is very good friend. Her dad fixed my nose. Stopped it growing?

Why has the bokke's now famous topless squad photo made opposition fans so angry? Because they look like they are all juiced up to the gills on steroids? They're professional athletes, some of them aren't even particularly muscular they just have low body fat levels. Middle aged rugby men with beer...

Like running around in hot soup. I might be wrong but I understand muscle mass is more susceptible to lactic acid building at a faster rate during exercise in a hot and humid environment. I think dehydration would be a concern for all the athletes in that environment, but those with more exaggerate...

South Africans are praying for the typhoon in that first weekend ... Nah facing the AB is the pinnacle for us besides we have your number. I'm more worried about the Canada or Namibia games being hit by a typhoon and ending our WC dream. Having seen the photo of the Boks posing shirts off then you ...

I hope we don't hear any grizzling about the blatant LB before the win. Pathetic reviewing from Oswald.

The umpire should have given that BUT the review from the Aussies was shocking. Lost the plot.

Well done Wales, good win. Much better intensity. Neither side will be happy with how they played, but job done there. England, poor approach, poor execution, poor discipline. A mediocre side going nowhere fast. It was the follow up to the breaks that would have frustrated me most. There is certain...

Definitely a yellow given the professional nature of it. For it not to be looked at was very poor.

Also mentioned Wales go to number 1 if they win at home to a team very close to them on the rankings. I still cannot fathom how this happens. 14 wins in a row. 9 at home. 5 away including the Argies twice, Italy, France and Scotland. I don't see where the points come from.

A couple of great articles floating around on twitter today.

Will dig them out when I wake up tomorrow. The story of his estrangement from his father was sad.

From the link you posted ... That first line is how f**king good. Actually, so many good lines.

When I was 19 my then girlfriend cheerfully informed me that my hairline was receding, bitch. Early 20's for me. I said to a female friend "I think I'm losing my hair" She said "yes, you are" and then followed it up with the far from helpful "I've nothing against bald guys but would never go out wi...
