Well we are underway. Not that convincing but not too bad to get the rust off.
I just had a client call from South Africa. He wanted me to know that he was coming to Australia for the Rugby but only managed to get tickets to three games - the two semi's and the final!
As he is an expat Brit it is a pity he'll miss out on seeing England play !
Goodnight all. ;-)

This is from a great website (www.rugby2003.com.au )
If you're feeling lucky and fancy a punt on one of the many possible outcomes of Rugby World Cup 2003, there is a long list of scenarios on which you can have a flutter at the Rugby World Cup's official betting agency website.
https://www.sportodds.com/
For instance, it is possible to place a bet on whether the world champion will have a floral emblem (like New Zealand, Canada or Scotland) or an animal emblem (e.g. Australia, France, South Africa). At the time of writing, flora were the favourites, paying $1.23 for a win – fauna were at $3.10.
My calls for today
NZ bt Italy
Ire bt Rom
Fra bt Fij
SA bt Urg
Don't have to be einstein to come up with those four picks.

Seems not all the Rugby teams visiting our fair shores are enamoured with the locals. I must dust off the Harley!
SYDNEY, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Scotland have left their luxury
hotel on Australia's Sunshine Coast to avoid hundreds of heavily
tattooed bikers called the Bandidos who are due to check in on
Friday for four days of drinking and partying.
The Bandidos are one of Australia's most notorious
motorcycle gangs, with members involved in turf wars, street
shootouts and drugs trafficking, according to police.
Local Australian media have claimed Scotland fled their
hotel to avoid a clash with partying bikers.
Team officials denied the reports on Wednesday but admitted
the bikers' drinking schedule meant the hotel was not an
appropriate environment for Scotland to prepare for their next
World Cup game on Monday October 20 against the United States.
The Bandidos' itinerary for their annual meeting starts with
a drinks reception from midnight Friday until dawn Saturday.
"We've absolutely nothing against the bikers," said Scotland
manager Dougie Morgan.
"But when we saw the bikers' itinerary we did not consider
that would be conducive for preparation for a test match for our
players.
"The help we've received from the ARU (Australian Rugby
Union) and Rugby World Cup has enabled the switch of
accommodation to be made without a hitch."
Scotland have moved to an inland hotel in the Queensland
state capital Brisbane where they will play the United States.
Australia's biker gangs -- the Gypsy Jokers, Coffin
Cheaters, the Rebels Motorcycle Club and the Bandidos -- have
staged a series of turf wars in recent years.
Australian police have compared the Bandidos with
sophisticated criminal networks such as the Japanese Yakuza,
Chinese triads and Colombian cocaine syndicates.
The Bandidos most bloody and infamous outing was on Father's
Day, September 2, 1984. The Bandidos and the rival Comancheros
gang staged a shoot-out in a western Sydney car park in which
six gang members and a 15-year-old schoolgirl were killed.

England vs South Africa
Both teams viewing this as their World Cup Final – the
loser will probably have to play the All Blacks in the
quarter finals and Australia in the semis to get in the
Final…win this and play Wales in the Quarters then
France or Ireland in a semi. A lot easier.
Aussie thinks the mother country will feast upon the carcase of the 'boks'

A bit close
Bonsai it was close alright.
Mrs Aussietrader is actually a migrant from the land of the shamrocks and old AT actually became an Irish citizen last week thanks to the "marry one of us and you become one of us" laws they have in the Emerald Isle. Now I have my EU entry permit you best be careful - I could turn up at any time!
The entire event made for spirited cheering in the AT household. The only bad thing about the result was Hickey being carried off. His folks visited the AT household last week. Hope he is okay.
I reckon Eire over the Frogs, Aussies over the Scots in the next round.
Cheers and good trading

Hi Bonsai,
All set for a very large evening of watching the Wallabies hop all over the All Blacks - is that wishful thinking?. Although form is not on our side, I have a good feeling about this one. Of course I havelost all RWC tipping credibility because I picked Eire over the Frogs!
Tomorrows match between Brits and French should be a cracker. If the Pommy goal kicker can trade in his ego for a pair of decent kicking boots they might have a chance!
Either way, it is a sunny 35 degrees in Southern Australia and this is very conducive to enjoying a cool Heineken or three.
Will try not to post after too many cold drinks. Bye for now.
