RugbyMan: September 2006
http://rugbyman03.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Rugby and gambling on rugby. Nothing more, nothing less. Friday, September 29, 2006. With a round of fixtures played last Friday and Saturday you may think the French players would have six or seven days rest before taking the field again. Think again. There was another round of fixtures on Tuesday! Brive 6-21 Stade Francais. So now Stade Francais are 11 points clear of Toulouse, 13 clear of Biarritz and the big 3 are back in the top 3 places so we can all breathe a huge sigh of relief. In any Guinness P...

Steven Hale on orienteering. Weekly comments on orienteering from an anglo/swedish perspective. Monday, March 20, 2006. It's not often you see a really good orienteering photo. Let's face it, it's not often you see a quite good one. Which is a shame, because pictures are an excellent way to promote the sport. Posted by Steven Hale at Monday, March 20, 2006. Wednesday, March 08, 2006. Tiggers don't like haycorns. Anybody who's run a mountain marathon. I felt the the first never-again-twinges after just ha...

Steven Hale on orienteering. Weekly comments on orienteering from an anglo/swedish perspective. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Orienteering has always been an early adopter of Internet technology. Every self respecting o-club has its own website. There are some real horrors out there on the web - but compared to other sports we're streets ahead. So why are there so few orienteering blogs? Politicians, journalist, nerds - everybody's doing it. But where are all the o-blogs? Two I've found so far:.

RugbyMan: October 2006
http://rugbyman03.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Rugby and gambling on rugby. Nothing more, nothing less. Monday, October 30, 2006. England v NZ - part 1. New caps Shaun Perry and Anthony Allen have been two of the form players in England this year. Allen is just 20 while Perry only came into the Premiership last season with Bristol, having previously been with Coventry. Both are sensible additions to the team - a baptism of fire no doubt, going in against the best team in the world, but both on form and playing with plenty of confidence. New Zealand h...

Rugbyman: January 2007
http://world-of-rugbyman.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Rugby articles, competitions and previews. Wednesday, 31 January 2007. Super14 preview - The Reds. Stephen Moore, Ben Coutts, Ed O'Donoghue, AJ Gilbert, TomMcVerry, Will Genia, Charlie Fetoai, Brando Va'alu. Main ins and outs. Most notable is the arrival of Clinton Schifcofscke, a league star with a big reputation. Will he be any good? This is easier. A lack of quality in any position is a good start. Very few players who really look as though they can impress at this level. Also the back-up ...Drew Mitc...

Steven Hale on orienteering. Weekly comments on orienteering from an anglo/swedish perspective. Saturday, August 27, 2005. We all do it. You do it. I do it. But nobody likes to admit it. We've all been helped by other competitors at some time or another. If you read the IOF competition rules. There isn't actually a rule to break:. 262 In an individual interval start race, competitors are expected. To navigate and run through the terrain independently.

Steven Hale on orienteering. Weekly comments on orienteering from an anglo/swedish perspective. Sunday, July 03, 2005. With the World Championships just over a month away it's high season for national team selections. S team is chosen and the Swedish and Norwegian selectors are probably locked up in smoke filled rooms at this very moment. For all those that make the team there's at least as many other runners who are convinced they should have been selected, but have been overlooked. Friday, July 01, 2005.

Steven Hale on orienteering. Weekly comments on orienteering from an anglo/swedish perspective. Friday, January 27, 2006. Football, cricket, rugby and tennis all have two. Golf has one. Syllables. Popular sports have short catchy names, preferably two or fewer syllables. Orienteering, meanwhile, has a polysyllabic handicap. Worse still, the International Orienteering Federation. Persists in calling it 'foot orienteering'. Two words, six syllables, and just a hint of Monty Python. Rather than a sport.

Steven Hale on orienteering. Weekly comments on orienteering from an anglo/swedish perspective. Friday, February 10, 2006. Another Olympic Games has opened - another Games without orienteering. Some say that orienteering will never become a full member of the Olympic movement. They are, of course, wrong. An understanding of simple mathematics is all that's required to show this. True, orienteering will never feature at either the Winter or Summer games. But there are four seasons in a year and. Strange r...
