    All Blacks beat Wallabies by 32 - 12. Fascinating game. Scoreline flatters the All Blacks a bit, as they scored 14 points during 10 minutes while Australia were a man down. Wallabies spent the rest of the game playing catch up. I'm sure it won't be that close when we next meet in Brisbane. But it's damn good to have some real test match rugby to watch again.

    Red Sox lost after 19 innings... for those who don't know baseball, a normal game lasts 9 innings. This game lasted 6 hours and 19 minutes (as opposed to the normal 3 hours).

    How come, when the Leafs have only about 4 million left in cap space, Michael Peca and Anson Carter both talk about how they'd like to play for the Leafs. What the team needs to do is sit down with the players in question, their agents, and tell them how much money is available between the two contracts. Then we'll see some competition...

    Well, English sports fans have something to cheer about again. They certainly can't lose this test now.

    Oh. My. God. Lazio, Juventus and Fiorentina have been relegated to Serie B, and Juventus will have to start with a 30 point penalty! That's gonna be a hell of a league next season. :shake:

    Full story here.

    Nothing for Milan?

    And I'm gonna miss three out of my four favorite teams. With Fiorentina and Juventus being relegated for this, and Brecia being relegated normally, only AC Milan is left. :(

    EDIT: Just saw AC Milan. Stays in Serie A, but gets a 15 point penalty.

    Bowling is allover the place again. Harmison probably bowling the worst balls he's bowled in 3 years. But hey, he's still got three wickets I 'spose.

    Ah NHL Offseason in Toronto Maple Leafs region. Lots of speculation to read, but littile actually happenning...

    If I put a team together of all the players rumoured to be coming to Toronto, I'd have blown the salary cap three times over...

    Must be a great batting wicket. Although Pietersen did get a wicket.

    It looks like the Toronto Maple Leafs really did land Mike Peca. I like the signing. Sure he won't score 25 goals in a season like he did years ago, but he's not there to add offence, he's there to offend. He'll offend the Senators, Canadiens, Sabres, Ruins--er Bruins...

    That puts the Leafs at $43 million, about 1 million below the cap. Barring a really sweet deal, that's about the end of the tinkering that JFJ will be doing...

    @ Gnarfflinger - yes the Leafs are out of salary cap room and they have not found a way to get a top line scoring winger to play with Sundin. The Leafs have bolstered their defence but they have added a goalie who is coming off a terrible season and they have done nothing to bolster their offence. All in all I am not looking forward to next season.

    Awesome. The NZ basketball team beat the Australian Boomers 79 - 71. This is the Tall Blacks's fisrt ever win in Australia. Bring on the World Championships!

    And TrueBlueAussie - assuming you are talking about the next Tri-Nations test, the All Blacks take on the Wallabies in Brisbane on 29 July.

    JSBB: I thought JFJ should have been horse whipped for the Rask for Raycroft deal. I'd have been confident running with Aubin and Telqvist then having 3 mil to try to land Anson Carter...

    It's seems that Berlusconi still has some influences, can't understand why the other teams went to Serie B but his team doesn't; Milan just got monetary punishment and they have to start the championship with -15 points.

    Personally I would have said to hell with McCabe and forget Raycroft and used the money to sign Anson Carter and Martin Gerber.

    The defence is good enough with McCabe (who isn't nearly as good as people seem to think), Gerber has a better track record than Raycroft, they would still have Rask for the future, and Carter would give them the scoring winger that they need.
