You have to admire them for turning out every week.

I doubt any rugby league coaches would be happy if they did as the Olympics take place during the season.

I've always thought the Olympics should be the pinnacle of your sport. Tennis, basketball and football are three sports which shouldn't be there.
A number of leading golfers have already said they wouldn't take part if it disrupted their preparation for an important tournament. Isn't the PGA Championship in August?
It's going to be a joke with the leading golfers absent.

Another 93 today. They did manage a penalty though.

Chris Ashton got two tries for Northampton. Result of the day has to be Treviso 9 Perpignan 8. Goosen kicked all Treviso's points. I'm sure his first name is Giuseppe or Dino. Shame the crowd was so low. Only 2,000 turning up.
Average crowd of 1,050 in the European challenge cup today.

'I'll be left trying to explain with just an exasperated look that rugby in Dublin is the preserve of the attendees of a number of well-to-do schools and for those of us from the slightly grimier schools who played gaelic football or hurling or football, it wasn't our party and we had to leave it to the moneyed classes to attend their internationals and pat themselves on the back...

'The last big match I attended was Ireland against France in the 2007 World Cup and a peculiar thing kept happening. When a foul was called the entire stadium would turn to the big screens for a replay and, along with the recap, an explanation of the exact nature of the offence would flash up as a bilingual subtitle...

'This was an innovation that managed to be both helpful and damning. Every time a technical brouhaha would occur, 80,000 people would crane upwards, read the screen and give a minor ah of enlightenment. Maybe this is a sport with too many rules...'

They are getting better only 91 points this weekend

Australian rugby league star Karmichael Hunt is set to switch codes after agreeing to join Biarritz.

Negotiations by Hunt's manager David Riolo with French rugby union officials early in the week paved the way for the player to take-up a six-month contract with Biarritz Olympique, reputedly worth more than $300,000.

This is only an interlude before he starts his aerial ping pong career and is old news anyway.
