Why not play some games on VS, they don't have anything going on right now.

Any ideas on why NBC is a) hoarding the rights and b) won't broadcast more than the opening match, the four USA matches and the semi-final/final match?



NBC hates international sports.

I would like to watch and learn the rules and tactics involved, but like you I can't ever find enough on tv to get it.

Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu could face disciplinary action for his foul-mouthed Twitter rant following Samoa's 17-10 defeat to Wales.

The Gloucester centre accused the International Rugby Board of "unfair treatment" after Samoa were forced to play for the second time in four days while Wales had a week off. Fuimaono-Sapolu accused the IRB of exploitation and compared Samoa's treatment to slavery, the holocaust and apartheid.

An IRB spokesman said: "It is very disappointing."

Fuimaono-Sapolu could be disciplined if he is found to have broken the World Cup code of conduct, which contains social media guidelines. There is also an onus placed on each nation to enforce those guidelines under the participation agreement.

Samoa coach Titimaea Tafua insisted after the game with Wales that his side's four-day turnaround was "not an excuse", but Fuimaono-Sapolu was enraged. He Tweeted: "IRB, Stop exploiting my people. Please, all we ask is fairness. If they get a week, give us a week. Simple. £equity £justice."

Tonight's match won't be pretty--we're sending out our reserves to face a pissed off Wallabies side. I get O'Sullivan's logic, but damnbruhfrick...

Australia a lot - 5 USA

Well, at least we scored. Kicking was poor for most of it (on both sides), our scrum sucked, and we had nothing to counter or even defend them out wide. We'd also get penalized or knock on nearly every time we had a decent chance.

Game was great. Hugely passionate fanbases from each team. There was a huge gasp every time Tuilagi touched the ball. Not an empty seat in Eden Park. Was sitting in the 3rd row behind the in goal.

Just watched the Saints win. Interesting start time at 6am Monday morning.

This play kills me. Nascar and PGA Golf on TV, but not a single NFL game.
