All Blacks too good

Sorry to see Australia lose in the rugby to New Zealand.

Hoping for a better showing in the cricket tonight against England, but not optimistic.

Unite the rugby codes

Barry Cohen makes a good suggestion in The Australian today that rugby league and rugby union should reunite.

“If cricket can have Test, one-day and Twenty20, why can’t rugby have 15, 13 and sevens?” he ponders.

His notion is that both codes should play under one jurisdiction, with integration occurring gradually.

It’s the most sensible comment I’ve read on the subject.

Wallabies win

The rugby test in Sydney between Australia and South Africa was fairly lacklustre. South Africa’s B team was competitive, but never really threatened.

Australia’s attack wasn’t as potent as it should have been. Take away the intercept try though, and it was a dominant performance by the Wallabies.
