All Blacks for sale on auction sites

WELLINGTON: For sale: one All Blacks rugby team, damaged, emotional, heart broken.

New Zealanders shocked by their national team's quarter-final elimination at the Rugby World Cup have turned to internet auction sites for emotional release.

One entrepreneurial vendor offered the All Blacks themselves for sale in emotionally damaged condition, saying a new team were needed to win the 2011 World Cup which will be held in New Zealand.

Nine bids had been attracted and had reached NZ$11 (US$7.50) by midday yesterday, though one prospective bidder thought the starting price of NZ$1 was 揳 bit steep''.

While that vendor offered the All Blacks for sale as a group, others offered individual players at discounted prices. Flanker Jerry Collins and prop Neemia Tialata were offered in unused condition and had attracted no bids.

For the distraught All Blacks supporter, there was the chance to buy a badge saying 揑t's Only A Stupid Cup (I'm dying inside)''.

Also offered was a 搇imp and wet'' All Blacks flag: 搇imp like the performance of the team it represents and wet like that wet fish of a referee we had to endure''.

Bitter fans are able to take out their frustrations on golfballs enscribed 揂ll Blacks. We Wuz Robbed''.

Golden oldies prepare for their last stand

PARIS: This weekend's World Cup semi-finals will not only see the title dreams of two countries shattered.

Defeat will also bring down the international curtain on some of the game's most durable stars.

They will experience the same misery suffered by Wallaby greats George Gregan and Stephen Larkham when their team were knocked out by England in the quarter-finals.

At least they had already tasted World Cup success in 1999.

Compatriots Stirling Mortlock, Phil Waugh and George Smith are unlikely now ever to do so, twice denied by England in 2003 and 2007.

The same could be said for France, the Wallabies' victims in the 1999 final.

Surviving members of that team, Raphael Ibanez, Fabien Pelous, Pieter de Villiers and Christophe Dominici, could well face the final cut against England this Saturday in the semi-finals.

For Ibanez, Pelous and Dominici, it will be the second successive time that the English will have denied them at the last-four stage.

For Pelous, last Saturday's quarter-final victory over the All Blacks, was particularly sweet as it gave him possibly two more matches in the blue jersey.

Dominici also doesn't want to leave the stage without having the Webb Ellis trophy in his hands.

揑 have had a lot of ups and a lot of downs,

One-week ban for Fiji抯 Bai

PARIS: Fiji's Seremaia Bai has been suspended for one week for a dangerous tackle during the World Cup quarter-final against South Africa, tournament organisers said yesterday.

Bai, who played at flyhalf in Fiji's 37-20 defeat in Marseille on Sunday, had been cited on Monday for the tackle on Danie Rossouw in which he made contact with the South African number eight's head.

The Fijian could have been suspended for two weeks but a previously unblemished record in a long career playing club rugby in a number of countries was taken into account.

Because Fiji were eliminated, the week's ban will end on Oct. 28, taking in the weekend of Oct. 27-28 when Bai would have returned to action for French championship runners-up Clermont

All Black Howlett arrested in London

WELLINGTON: All Black winger Doug Howlett was arrested by police in London after two cars were damaged outside the team hotel, All Blacks manager Darren Shand said yesterday.

The incident happened early on Tuesday at the Hilton Hotel near Heathrow Airport as half the squad were already on their way back to New Zealand after their shock 20-18 quarter-final loss to France.

  

Howlett: Due to take up a contract with Irish club Munster.

揑t is a serious matter and we are concerned that something of this nature has occurred at what is already a disappointing time for the team and for our supporters,

Results, not flair, will be the order of both semi-finals

PARIS: The weekend's World Cup semi-finals might not be beautiful but no team will care as long as they reach the Oct 20 final.

Both South Africa, playing Argentina tomorrow and France, facing England the night before, have admitted their plan was not to sparkle.

As for Argentina and England, they have relied so far on ruthless scrummaging and astute place-kicking and have no intention of having a go at flair.

揂s long as we win I don't care what the spectators think,

37 - 13.ok le game berterabur gk.harap takdok sa player kn gantung

France coach Laporte rues missed try chance

PARIS: France coach Bernard Laporte highlighted a late missed try opportunity in Saturday抯 14-9 semi-final defeat by England that cost the hosts a place in the World Cup final.

France were leading 9-8 after 68 minutes when wing Vincent Clerc seemed certain to score in the left-hand corner only to be brought down by an ankle-tap tackle by substitute flanker Joe Worsley.

England quickly regrouped to smother the French attack and eventually regained possession and kicked clear.

揟hat was our chance,

Flyhalf Wilkinson kicks England into the final again

PARIS: Jonny Wilkinson was England抯 World Cup saviour yet again when he struck a late penalty and drop goal to send the holders into the final with a nail-biting 14-9 win over hosts France.

The fastest try in World Cup semi-final history, by wing Josh Lewsey after just two minutes, and nine points from the boot of their invaluable flyhalf kept alive England抯 hopes of becoming the first team to retain the trophy.

揑 think my body has never felt so sore,

South Africa set up final showdown against England

PARIS: Bryan Habana equalled Jonah Lomu抯 World Cup try-scoring record to help South Africa join England in this Saturday抯 final with a ruthless 37-13 win over Argentina at the Stade de France on Sunday.

Habana showed why he remains the deadliest finisher in the game with two spectacular tries as the Springboks produced an awesome display of power and speed to reach their first final since they won the Webb Ellis Cup at home 12 years ago.

揥e had a pretty distinct plan for the first 40 and I think that went pretty well,

Pumas: Our errors helped Springboks

PARIS: Puma mistakes and South African quality combined to end Argentina抯 dream of reaching the World Cup final, coach Marcelo Loffreda said on Sunday.

Argentina抯 37-13 defeat in their semi-final at the Stade de France ended a run of five victories and sent the Springboks into their first final since they won the tournament in 1995.

揥e were victims of our own errors, especially in the first-half,
