    Jim,

    Wrote one on the male bastion in the com box in cricket. Have used the case of Nine's Stephanie Brantz as an example.

    I think i saw horwill in the tri-nations, he scored a try against new zealand when they beat them didn't he? Hopefully for england cipriani plays, but then again Giteau is pretty awesome so that will be a pretty good battle.

    So do you think England's best chance of beating australia is to play a typically english game and keep it in the pack?

    Cheers for the comment. Just a quick question what do you think about James O'Connors inclusion. Do you think he's ready for the international stage?
