World Cup reading list

---

If you've not actually moved from the couch since final whistle, and are starting to contemplate brightening up your pit of despair with a fridge, toaster, and large plastic tub to catch the dribble, then here's all the interweb action you've missed

- Stephen Jones responds to readers letters - Jaysus. Stephen Jones is either the bastard child of Margret Thatcher and a dashing young Clive Woodward, or John Clarke's greatest ever creation

- NZ's own Jed Thian writes in the Guardian (the GUARDIAN!) on the pain - heh, yes the poms at work had a field day on Monday. Nice croissants, though

- Bart from The Silver Fern on why we lost and the reconditioning programme - some well considered points from a smart rugby guy

- Inky on his primal response to Sunday's loss, ie going out and getting covered in blood and guts. I've only just started reading Inky, the archives are highly recommended

- Public Address System gets it out of their system - Following Russell Brown's thoughtful post, there's a mammoth thread really worth reading, and watch the youtube vid of the Paris Rugby ball..
