[iFor all the entertainment on offer, the match was not to everybody's taste, with New Zealand newspaper the Sunday Star Times writing it off as a "no-tackle, airy-fairy 18-try romp".[/i
Farce of a game and a reet embarrassment.

This result is an example of why people don't watch union in Australia.
The result of a dodgy pact to play "running rugby" (ie. an agreement not to tackle each other) in a desperate attempt to get people to come back and watch it...
Transparent. Utterly transparent.

You wait 100 years for a try in Union then 18 come at once.

Sounds like a score you'd get on the (very rubbish) Championship Rugby Manager! |

There were still 5 penalty goals to keep the purists happy though.

rlTroubled Ospreys 'co-operating' with Heineken Cup over Ricky Januarierl
'[iHaving already been fined for briefly fielding 16 players in a pool game, the Welsh regional side are now being questioned about the eligibility of their South African scrum-half, Ricky Januarie.[/i'
'[iExpulsion would throw this season's Heineken Cup quarter-finals into chaos, with Leicester taking the eighth-seed place and Northampton, currently England's sole quarter-final representatives, moving up to seventh.[/i'

Since last summer I think. Italian grandfather.
Not the first 'foreigner' to turn out for Italy rugby union. |

There was a marvellous bit where he picked a pass off his boot laces, and the commentator said 'A former Rugby League player, he used all his sklills there!'
And it's lovely to hear biased commentators on an England RU game finally admitting what a limited player 'Johnny' Wilkinson is. |

Didn't have the pleasure myself. Had Ireland pre-tournament 
Not seen this weekend's games but have been disappointed with this year's tournament. |

Brian Moore has been saying it for a while, as have both Guscott and Davies IIRC.
Austin Healey's attempts to turn it into everyone else's fault but Wilkinson's was frankly pathetic.
The BBC are doing their best not to upset the Celts with their commentary pairings though. The Irish, Scots and Welsh get commentary teams consisting entirely of their countrymen for games against the French and Italians, but the English still have to suffer the monotone biased ramblings of Eddie Butler. |

Well seeing that they don't do public executions anymore, and car crashes don't have a fixture list - this is the best alternative if you are into that sort of thing. |
