There is a very good picture of Api in todays Daily Telegraph Sports Section.

All the best players are gravitating to Aus, why wouldn't they?, even England has 7 ozzie based players ! I have no problem with heritage players as long as it used to build in the home country. What the Lebanese have done is incredible considering their domestic situation. Even the USA are building domestically. My problem is with Scotland, who have no domestic league, a pure sham.

Well the lure of players going to aus is nothing new, remember the days when you had that first couple of months of the winter season without your star players because they had spent the summer playing in aus.

No complaints about playing too many games in those days as a lot of players were playing all year

No Barthau for the French.

They played really well last week against Lebanon - it was 18 all with 8 minutes to go. Perhaps the last minute try for Lebanon when William kicked the ball across the field from within his own 20 was his undoing! There's playing catch up and playing catch up. He has been known to have attitude issues that can result in plays like that, but then again perhaps he's just injured.
