Cheika will have that ear reefed off you if you carry on with that nonsense
Scott Lavalla, the Trinity College alumnus who’s playing in the second row for the Eagles at this World Cup, keeps on tugging on the lobe of his ear when the camera turns to him during the Star Spangled Banner. Continue reading
Fergburger on nationalism, localism, parochialism, jingoism etc.
If there’s one thing Fergburger doesn’t like, it’s Johnny Foreigners. Continue reading
Robinson makes the tough call on Kellock
The Mole had previously speculated that Andy Robinson bestowing the Scottish captaincy on Alaistair Kellock would prohibit him from selecting his best second-row partnership. Continue reading
Saint Declan looking a little bit like Khrushchev.
Declan Kidney has mixed up his selection for the game against Russia, but has stopped a long way short from naming a second-string side. Continue reading
Get used to that feeling, Kurtley
Australia re-enter the fray after the Ireland upset with Will Genia as captain. Dingo Deans has chosen to give game time to a number of players returning from injury, notably Slipper, Mitchell and a slimmed down Cliffie Palu.

Yesterday’s selection were nominally inside centres/second five-eighths, while today’s are [outside] centres. I think it’s fair to say that most of the best ones are at the World Cup, but there’s a few interesting ones who have been left behind … Continue reading
Stop calling "Miss 1"
What with Dublin and Kerry serving up a classic All Ireland final and the country in recession, the Independent has chosen to stay with the 70s theme and reignite the out-half debate. Continue reading
It's his job to tell it like it is. It's Farrelly's job to regale us with stories of how difficult it is to get back to the team hotel after a night in Fergburger.
The Mole has long been a fan of Brendan ‘Fangio’ Fanning. His work during the World Cup to date has been excellent: there’s been loads of it, and the vast majority of it is incisive, well-constructed and informative. Here’s his take on Gamblor’s post-match interview. You know the one I’m talking about. Continue reading
