My Phone which I normally use for photos since it has a great camera has crapped itself, I'll see if I can find a camera to use but no promises. |

Round 1New Zealand 22 def France 10 Wales 32 def Ireland 12 Greece 14 def Scotland 0 Australia 24 def England 0 So after round 1 Australia and NZ look strong, Wales and France look to have improved aswell and I doubt I'm the only one suprised Greece got a win up. I've heard greece have 6 players from hellenic rugby in there aswell as 14 australian based players. Wales V France looks to be a good game for 2nd place in pool B. |

Went to the student world cup tonight in Brissy.
Was of a good standard considering it was a wet track
Greece were ripped off by the ref.
Ireland had a real dig against France and should have had a penalty try awarded to them at the end .
Wales was very impressive against NZ.It only blew out a little at the end .
NZ's experience showed in the last 20 minutes and they also had a good general kicking game .
Wales and Ireland were well in each game but silly mistakes proved to be the difference.
Talked to a lot of coaches/officials and made some good contacts for future tours.
Wales asked me to come down the Gold Coast on Saturday to watch them play and have a couple of beers.
Hope I find the time to go.

I'm going down Saturday and am going to try and catch Australia V Greece and maybe England V Scotland. I thought my flight to brissy was earlier so I arrive at 3.45 so will most likely get picked up by my brother and head straight there. Hopefully will see most of the australia V Greece game. Not sure whether I can stay too long into the next game either since my brother will most likely have plans for poker. So I'm a bit dissapointed but still better than nothing I guess. Rhino, are the games full games or shortened? |
