| Rugby World Cup 2011: Venue announcement due I know some people here are rugby followers, so just a reminder that the venue for the 2011 World Cup is due to be announced today at 1730 GMT. I'll post here when I see the announcement. In the frame are Japan, New Zealand and South Africa, and my money is on South Africa.

| That must be some kind of a record for the fastest obsolete post! Less than five minutes after I went to press, South Africa was eliminated in round one of the voting. A majority vote now decides the matter, and it could all be over rather sooner than 1730, it seems.

| Part of me wishes they'd give it to Japan, cos that would be a real laugh, and also I think some of the 2nd tier nations should be given a chance to host major tournaments.

| New Zealand it is. I guess Japan was always an outside chance.

| Part of me is pleased that a proper rugby nation has got it in New Zealand but there is also a part of me that remembers how good a job the Japanese did with the football World Cup and i presume that it would have been the same with the rugby.It might have been a chance to make Rugby a more global game instead of a few serious contenders and a lot of stragglers. |

| Umaga is retiring apparently. |

| Yeah, Umaga is retiring from Rugby. I reckon NZ will do a great job with hosting the world cup |
