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?

Just out of interest I've seen you've said you've played Rugby Union and League at good levels. Which in your opinion is more exciting to play? I've always fancied giving league a go.
