Presumably the pools will switch around each year.
Rest assured I'll be watching on Fox Sports!

All that stinky bait and not even small nibble?

And, these days, a lot of people here think him a quitter.
But he isn’t a prat – it’s a mistake to think he is. An insensitive dill maybe, and certainly an egotist – but not a prat. Very seldom loses control. Most of what he says is deliberate even when extreme – excepting immediately post game when he has control issues (he confesses that). In that Perth press conference that caused the initial fresh wave of hatred of him in the RWC (daring to go back at Aussie press comments actually at the press conference – what was he thinking!?) he knew what he was doing – he calls it “pressure for pressure”. Whether it was sensible given the rabid nature of the Aussie media at times is debatable – but it was not a prattish wander into a minefield, rather a determined drive through with an armoured division.
And if you think about it he drew 90% of the media flak throughout the tournament. Method in the madness perhaps?
No, the French have a different sense of humor. But they'll come up with something, I'm sure.

I have been to a number of games in France – they can be niggly shortly after the game if they lost and briefly cocky if they won (can’t we all – well except we English who are the very soul of discretion of course) – but they are consummate post match hosts. At the worst they will probably play footage of their last Grand Slam – lets just hope they don’t have any from 2005, 2006 or 2007 to show. I guarantee they will not show France-NZ from November 2004!
