GETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
OCTOBER 2005
THE GAME OF RUGBY IS RAPIDLY EXPANDING WORLD WIDE. THIS WEB SITE'S MAIN FUNCTION IS THE RESEARCHING, COLLECTING, COLLATING, RECORDING AND UPDATING OF INTERNATIONAL RUGBY RESULTS AND RECORDS
Web sites I recommend this month
Excellent data and stats on the world
game, covering 129 nations and their international rugby results to date. Well
worth a visit.
Covering the game in Austria mainly at
club level
This site has recently been improved and
covers the game at all international level within the European Rugby Union
(FIRA-AER)
Covers the game in Lithuania. Well set
out but translation need.
Unofficial site for Europe’s latest
international rugby nation.
Jeremy has this site up and running
again. Special detailed treatment mainly for international and regional leagues
but covers club and international rugby as well. The site leans favourably
towards the game outside major unions.
Good range of guest writers.

Paraguay put up a good fight against traditional rivals
Chile, leading 24-11 at halftime. Chilean experience and fitness in the second
half saw them outlast the South American Division 2 champions.
Chile now travels to Sao Paulo next weekend to take on
Brazil who were easily defeated 45-8 by Paraguay in the first match of this
series.

Namibia 55, Madagascar 17 at Hage Geingob
Stadium in Windhoek (CAR Div.1, Pool B)
The last time these two teams met it turned out to be a
disaster for the Madagascans. They had achieved some impressive results up to
this game and then it all fell apart in this away game. They will be looking to
improve on that performance.
Namibia did not turn up in Ivory Coast earlier this month
to fulfil their match against the locals. Thirteen players out of a squad of 22
have not played for Namibia before. More experienced players were not included
due to a dispute between players and management.
Madagascar were surprisingly defeated at home by Uganda
14-18 in their first match of the season. They then caused a major upset of
their own by defeating the Ivory Coast 30-10 also at home. The questions are,
can they select their strongest side and how well will they travel to Windhoek
this time?
