1. No the Rugby World Cup is a major event in the life of an Aussie
never mind they were eliminated in the quarters. Yesterday's semi with France and England was a great match - sadly England won.

2. Sadly? Ummm..how about NO!! It was a BRILLIANT victory for the boys...

DEFENDING WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!

Tonight's match between SA and Argentina should be just as compelling..

6. He's a big rugby fan. I saw him interviewed about rugby and he made
some quit about his days as a rugby player and how it gave him a face for radio. I thought it was really funny. Apparently Ware played the sport at a pretty high level.

7. Apparently he played rugby (AU), has an interest. Good to see he can take a break
from all war all the time. He's been in the midst of it as a reporter for a while.
