First topic message reminder :

Hello and welcome to the Zone Sports Bar, a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

This week the pub has set up in Sky City Hamilton, where the Crusaders take on the Chiefs in the Super XV semi final.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Bradley Wiggins, Ernie Els, Irene van Dyk, Sonny Bill Williams and his newly capped All Black team mate Sam Cane.

I wish I'd been able to stay up, but there's no way I could've got up for work if I had watched it, and it was on until late here.

Is that Camilla in the background looking disgusted? "Blahdy Krauts! Ooops, sorry darling."

Looks like the Sharks are going to knock out the Stormers. They are 23-9 up in Cape Town. Definitely the fairytale team of the comp.

I don't know if they do a player of the year award but surely JP Pietersen has to be front runner for the award.

Just saw some of the highlights from around the women's football and the Canadian captain, who is just 29, has played over 180 games for her country and scored 140 goals. That is pretty incredible.

Interesting to see Freddie Michalak back in the NH again. Make a nice 21 on the bench for France, covering 9 and 10 and bringing in a lot of flair.

Shocked Jeez, that's nearly a goal a game! I'm no expert on roundball, but I'm fairly sure a goal every other game is considered "prolific", is it not?

Just worked it out, 0.777777 rec. goals per game. clap

Evening all, just a quick check in from the beach volleyball. 1st match in this session starts in 10 minutes.

Amazing the number of happy smiling people around.

Ps, don't tell Gibbo but they have cheerleaders here too.

Willy - my workplace had an olympic theme yesterday. Everyone dressed in sports gear and in togas as each section was given a Greek god/goddess. Our section's given god was Hermes. We also had a buffet, and I brought in ring food i.e. onion rings, ring doughnuts etc. Smile

1st Gold for Oz Very Happy

China maybe slipping at gymnastics but a major power in the pool. Some guy has just pointed out that nations who host the Games will often peak at the next Olympics... like Oz got more gold in Athens - so China in London, GB in Rio.

I expect they'll come back strongly tomorrow, I'm getting the feeling that our boys and girls are going to have a games of nearly but not quite, good performances to make finals but ultimately fall short. Maybe I'm being a bit pessimistic?

Linebreaker - that's an interesting point. I wonder if the local athletes fair better when their country's not hosting because there's less pressure or something?

Congrats LB. Blimey you're up early on a Sunday aren't you!

PJ, you may well be right. It is only the first day though, maybe those athletes whose competitions are a bit later on in the games will have more time to get used to the occasion and perform better. Might not work out like that at all though! Laugh LB's point about home athletes performing better at the following games is an interesting one.

Cav was the only "expected" medal we didn't get. It's going to be a fine Olympics, if we can hold 4th in the medal table that's a fantastic acheivement. Why don't Germany and France and Italy do as well in the Olympics?

It's just a feeling CJ, I hope I'm wrong but it's just a nagging thought in the back of my mind.

On a more positive note, I've been very impressed with the turnout for the events so far, I hope that continues as there's little worse than seeing these elite performers doing their bit in front of empty stands.

CJ - Germany is 3rd all time if you add West + East Germany. G 370/S 359/B 409

France & Italy are identical in terms of Gold but France have more medals overall. Hungary and Sweden are the countries which also seem to punch above their weight.

2 matches into the evening now. Saw the Brazillian men thrash Norway, and the Swiss women beat Greece.

Next is men, USA vs South Africa.

Great entertainment so far.

I was into work for a few hours today, then out to Ealing, back into town, and out to Stanmore. The Tube was busy heading to/leaving from various events.

I don't mind though, and have been educating our 'guests' in Tube etiquette. i.e. "please take your rucksack off to allow more people on the train".

I don't mind though, and have been educating our 'guests' in Tube etiquette. i.e. "please take your rucksack off to allow more people on the train".

Nice work. This afternoon I made a point of demonstrating to a couple of guys what happens if you don't wait for everyone to get off the train before getting on.

The USA are top seeds in the men's, and just made short work of the Saffas. USA women up next.

Nice work too bud. 'Snowplough' mode I take it Wink

We are setting the wheels in motion for the Championship opening round at the Sheaf on 18th August Aus v NZ from 10:30 and SA v Arg from 15:30.

Sort your own brekkie out, or take on the Sheaf brekkie. After the first game watch some Olympics (or one of the DVDs Andy + me have acquired) and sort out some lunch.

Watch the 2nd game and have a chinwag.

What do you reckon?

I used to work in the City in a previous life and I'd get the District Line out to Turnham Green, it was amazing how often tourists with rucksacks would get on the tube at 6.00pm, look at how crowded it was and huff, puff and tut themselves daft for 3 or 4 stops.

I mean, they're on holiday, have all day to sort their shoite out but decide they absolutely need to be on the tube during rush hour and have a mini-kernel when they find it so busy. warning

I think they were mostly French... or maybe I just decided they were because it made me feel better. chin
