Video: Very odd Springboks TV advert
2007-09-10 22:38:00
Not really sure what is going on here to tell you the truth.   The Saffers seem to be dressed as Ninja Turtles, then they shout a bit, then they run on all fours; at some point a bloke is playing a drum.  All this appears to take place in a place that looks exactly like Widnes.  Somehow this is meant to inspire a nation.  Anyone?

Rugby World Cup Kit Watch - Tonga
2007-09-10 22:29:00
Tonga normally play in a simple red, which they find is practical for hiding the blood of their opponents after they have banjoed them around the head 12 times each in the last 20 minutes to assuage their ANGER at being 52 points down. However, it seems that the people at Kooga found some leftover material from their 1970s kaftan range and used it for the arms.  Anyone who wants one needs to ask their psychiatric nurse to visit Kitbag.com, where they can have one for the price of £49.99 and public ridicule.

Video: Paul "He tripped me, sir!" Emerick, shows us how to really foul some
2007-09-10 16:01:00
All the talk in the media has been about Phil Vickery doing his best impression of Bruce Lee in the England vs USA Rugby World Cup match on poor little cherub Paul Emerick.  Everyone seems to have forgotten that the Eagles centre came very close to snapping Olly Barkley's neck/spine/lovely spiky hair with this tackle.  Where is Alastair Campbell when you need him to call press conferences and demand apologies eh?

ITV cock up the technology as well as the TV!
2007-09-10 14:52:00
Far be it from me to wander into the realms of new media nerdism, but I do know enough about Web 2.0 to know that ITV have cocked up big time with their online Rugby World Cup offering. When it comes to the internet I use Mozilla Firefox, so do millions of others; I won't bore you with the reasons why it is the best browser going, needless to say it is.  ITV, however, have treated our particular part of the web family like those cousins that never get invited to weddings in real families, by freezing us out.  The video player on their much tumpeted website does not support Firefox!  I honestly thought that such sites no longer existed. Oh, and I'm told by others that it also doesn't support Mac OS/X either.
