Congratulations to New Zealand Host of 2011 Rugby World Cup

Well done Kiwis. Now the hard work to prepare for this hosting begins. Commiseration to Japan and South Africa. Finally, Good on you South Africa for supporting NZ (after loosing in the first round of voting).

Since seeing them training in Porthcawl in Wales a million years ago NZ have always been the best IMO.

Big surprise (thankfully) is when others win e.g. World Cup.

If NZ want tournament there, well done indeed.

So will the hosts be allowing spear tackles in 2011?

I think the hosts should definitely allow sore losers.

Why ever? The players who speared O'Driscoll should never be allowed to play Test rugby again.

The entire International rugby community appears to disagree with you.
