Regarding World cup bids. We need to encourage nations not in top list. Howabout insisting that bidder nation co bids with one other who take a whole group and a qtr final. eg England bid with Italy, NZ or Oz with Japan. US with Canada and or Argentina.Wales andScotland or Ireland. Good Idea?
Malcolm, Sydney, Oz
No article has been written covering the 3-N match between South Africa and Australia either... can anyone explain why? There are plenty of articles floating around lambasting the ELVs but an exciting and inevitably historic win for Aus played under them mysteriously flies under the radar. Hmmm.
Kate, Sydney, Australia
I am neither British nor Kiwi, but I do find it immature of
Jones to mysteriously be absent from reporting when the All Blacks record a major win. His capacity for spite and vindictiveness towards the ABs especially will always seem at odds with the good nature of most rugby fans.
Pablo, Edinburgh, UK
This strike of the arrogance that often follows NZ rugby but England tour was abit oh hum. In sense you knew who was going to win. The Springbok games here were exciting for the opposite reason. International need to get back to that, watching the best players out on the pitch is just the best.
