    Can't stand it.

    Prisoner in my own home when it's on.... Well unless I want to get stuck in all the traffic, not to mention diversions and road closures.... Price I pay I guess living 3 miles away from Twickenham rugby ground.

    We've got my mahal's mother and older sister staying until November, and they've taken a real liking to the rugby, particularly the Samoan team. We watched their valiant but unsuccessful battle against South Africa; they particularly like the Samoan full back Tim Nanai-Williams as he's the dead spit of a relative back home. It's a case of Nanay watching Nanai The less said about the result of the later match the better

    As a neutral, I thought that Scotland were a bit unlucky to go out against Australia. They won a lineout by pushing out an Aussie, but they tried to be too clever. They were one point ahead with two minutes of play remaining. Instead of going short and hanging on to the ball, they threw it long, and in a confused melee, the referee awarded Australia a penalty. In my view it should have been at worst a scrum with Aussie put-in, and possibly not even that. I can understand Scottish, but like I said, the Scottish hooker's decision gets aas well. Ah well, all of the home nations teams are out now, may the best team win.

    Well what a fantastic end to a brilliant world cup, well done New Zealand


    Just to cap it off and prove what a fantastic sport it is, Sonny Bill Williams gesture of giving his gold medal away to a young supporter who got tackled by a security guard really made it something special

    A few of us went out for a post championship lunch yesterday, and I was lucky enough to be sat next to Scott Gibbs, a true rugby legend
