rugby WC n all

After WC of upsets, final didnt produce upset. SA won. NZ have made habit of losin after starting as favourites. Lets hope de ll win next WC at their home ground.

Listened 2 podcast of 'from our own correspondents' abt SA rugby. (these podcasts r really good...in fact all bbc podcasts r grt)( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/7053197.stm how it is tryin 2 turn rugby from game of whites 2 game of all ppl.

other thing abt rugby WC was the sponsors. all were french companies. SocGen, Orange, SNCF, , EDF, Pugeot. i kno WC was in france and many of these cos were MNCs. But fir bhi. for all tournaments now-a-days u ve global MNCs. This looked like sum Indian tournament with all PSUs sponsoring, ONGC, IOC et all. france is still dat socialist country with all labour laws n all. there was even strike of transport workers in france last week. at least there is some western country like India :)
