Its Sunday so it must be religion

Brad Thorn in action

Religion: Well Rugby anyway. AB's 49 Oz 28. The Red Card didn't help. Nor did the fact that one of our tries came from an offside position but it didn't really matter as there was only one team in it. Seven tries to three.

The try scoring is going on as the records show. The Tri Nations games for 2008 43 2009 27 and in 2010 after only 3 games 14.

It was a fairly bloody affair as I saw when Rocky Elsom was interviewed after the game. In last weeks game a tooth was knocked out of Wallabies mouth but, being Rugby and not Soccer, he didn't stop for a second - he just carried on a tooth short. As they say, a game for men.

Red Cards: People transgress and are rightly punished. The problem today is with the professional game fans and TV have paid huge money to see a contest and if it is made into a no contest due to the idiotic actions of 1 or 2 then everybody is shortchanged. I believe the way forward is that those getting a Red Card leave the match for good as usual but after 10 minutes another player comes on in their place. The other thing is that it usually a moment of individual madness.

The IRB will look at it I presume but it will take them 10 years to come to a sensible decision.

Changes: I see that they (they being the Southern Hemisphere and France) want a change so that a player after a 12 month stand down can play for another Tier 1 or 2 country. As usual the British and Irish are against. Probably frightened that a team like Georgia might beat them!!

Food Bank Collection: Lousy weather but just about to take off to help.
