Remember that bloke Roy G. Biv?
The acronym for kids to learn the colours of the spectrum ...Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet and every colour in between .....black isn't there, because it is not even a colour ...just an absence of light and shade ...and in the case of the RFU an absence of good sense, good taste, good judgment and good humour!!
I mean the English colours are red, white and blue, so why can't their alternative playing strip be red or blue??
What an insult!! What a humourless pack of bastards!!
What a useless wind up? No doubt some smarmy poms had a good snigger - are you over it yet, lads??
I hope you are boo'ed off the park in NZ, lads!! You want to hope that the marketing guys haven't saddled you with a ploy that's going to backfire on you.
Best of British, non-whites!!

AUSSIES OVERSEAS AND WELSHMEN HERE!!
Congratulations to Gareth Delve for making the Wales squad out of the Super XV, and what a great surprise to see Adam Byrnes playing for Russia !! I'll bet his nickname will be either Boris or Comrade at the Rebels next year!!
....then again, maybe "Rasputin.."??

TV COVERAGE OF RUGBY IN AUSTRALIA
For those of you overseas, we have these rules called "anti-siphoning" which means that nationally important programming, including sports, must be shown on free-to-air TV. I'm sure lots of other places in the world do the same.
Anyway, we have a new Rugby franchise, the Melbourne Rebels, trying to make its way in the fanatical heartland of AFL (Aussie Rules, or "aerial ping pong" or "cross country ballet").
So one of the national broadcasters gets the rights to show Rugby in Melbourne, and promptly shows it at some ridiculous hour in the wee smalls .... bastards!!
So the boys at the Rebel Army, bless their hair shirts, go on a campaign and get the TV stations to show the Rugby live, after all, albeit on one of their satellite stations. A victory!!
...but did they know that for about twenty bucks, you can get a subscription to an internet channel that shows just about any Rugby game in the world, on streaming video?
Anyone interested go to http://www.watchliverugbyworldcup.com
Been using it for about four weeks, on my laptop and it has never let me down!!
