Is there such a thing as too much sport?

Sunday 16 October is shaping as a crazy TV sports day.

At 3:30 the league test between Australia and New Zealand starts. You'd have to think the Kangaroos are a real chance with Darren Lockyer back on deck. And at the same time, the MotoGP starts, with Aussie Casey Stoner riding for the World Championship.

At 5:00 Queanbeyan's Mark Webber starts from third in the Korean F1 Grand Prix. Last week he finally got his starts figured out. The dastardly team mate whose name will not be mentioned here has the World Championship in the bag - gained largely at Webber's expense, so perhaps the team will give Mark some overdue attention and give him a real chance. As long as he gets off the line quickly...

And if the channel button on the remote isn't buggered from flicking between those three events, then there's the Rugby Union World Cup semi between the Aussies and Kiwis (again!) starting at 6:30. Sheesh...

From France's performance yesterday, today's game is clearly the de facto final. Shame about the draw putting two top performers against each other in a semi. Smart money is on the Wallabies due to the no shows among the Kiwis. We'll see.

Better go get ready...
