England reach the home strait in rugby world cup

Even Prime Minister Gordon Brown will be watching England as they take their place in the rugby world cup final this Saturday against South Africa, in Paris’ Stade de France.

With tickets up to £3,000 a pair, most fans will have to make do with watching the game on the small screen.

Brown said that since his native Scotland had already been knocked out, he had no qualms about accepting the invitation to support England from the sidelines.

Despite England’s rather poor track record against the Springboks in previous games, topped off by a humiliating 36-0 defeat last month, things are looking up.

Spirits still high from last week’s win against France, rugby fever has taken over the country as the national squad are within spitting distance of the cup. Although they face tough competition, hopes are high that England can do it again, and win back the trophy they held in the last tournament in 2003.

One of the biggest events in sports betting history, bookies are expecting half a billion pounds’ worth of bets for Saturday’s final.

Storming in from an outside chance to reach the final, the England team have seen a dramatic few weeks and many bookies are now offering 2/1 for an England win. Odds with Ladbrokes are 4/11 for favourites South Africa to win and 2/1 for an England victory.

The Giants storm London, shoulderpads and all

Could American football ever take off in the UK? Yesterday saw an NFL match between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins staged at London’s Wembley stadium - the first regular-season game ever to be held outside the US.

In a bid to increase popularity for the game overseas, National Football League owners voted last year to play 1 or 2 games outside the US every season for the next few years. Judging by ticket sales, which sold out in a matter of hours, they could be on to something.

As predicted, the Giants won 13-10, little surprise since the Dolphins seem to be on a losing streak, having lost their last seven games.

Explaining the game to unfamiliar Brits, one player described it like this, “Expect a lot of organised confusion with violent collisions”.

The pre-match entertainment wowed the crowd, with stunning cheerleaders and rock music pumping up the stands – you certainly don’t get that in Premier League football.

Long ridiculed by Brits for their shoulderpads and WWF style bust-ups, it will take some marketing for American football to get off the ground here, in a country with such a strong football tradition. But as a novelty event, it was a huge success.
