Croatia Versus Malta Captain Dominic Busuttil to Lead Malta Against Croatia Malta Fresh from Their Win Against Lithuania 13-10 Croatia Versus Malta Captain Dominic Busuttil to lead Malta against Croatia Malta fresh from their win against Lithuania 13-10, now face the team they have played the most times in history. Eight times they have met in either European Nations Cup games or Rugby World Cup playoffs. The Croatians have won 6 and Malta 2. Croatia has a strong connection with New Zealand, with many Croatians immigrating there in the early 1900s, working as gum diggers(that is not a dentist!) and later many went on to begin the Wine industry in New Zealand. There are many Dalmatian Clubs throughout the land. There'll always be a couple of Kiwis in their team. They will be big up front and usually have a fly half that dictates play well, we will need to shut down their options. Malta are missing the Holloway boys at scrumhalf and standoff, they are both injured, but they have made the journey from England to see the game, stating "We are family, we are all in this together!" That is the spirit of this team, not so big men but with BIG Hearts. Malta Squad(from last week's game) R Apsee, A. Kennedy, D. Holliday, C. Schranz, D. Deguara, S. Borg, D. Apsee, M. Davey, V. Stivala, J. Morris, J. O’Brien, D. Busuttil, T. Quarendon, M. Camilleri, J. Kirk, D. Cerketa, J. Ellul, J. Cutajar, C. Briffa, M. Galea, L. Debattista, R. Borg. Kickoff at Hibernians Ground, Paola is at 14.00hrs. Be There! Malta Rugby Union go into their FIRA European Nations Cup Division 2A match against Croatia on Saturday November 9th at Hibernians with a secret weapon, they have a 16th man in the team, namely Gozitan opera star Miriam Cauchi who will be singing the Maltese national anthem immediately before the match kicks off. Malta, who emerged from a tussle against Lithuania last Saturday away from home with a slender win, know they need every possible physical and psychological edge to be competitive against the skillful Croatians. Damian Neill’s Malta side are struggling with injuries to established players and news that one of the world’s star sopranos will be sending them into battle will undoubtedly raise spirits. Malta Rugby said that “Soprano, Miriam Cauchi very kindly offered to lend her support to the Malta National Rugby Team and she will be singing the Maltese national anthem which will have many of the expected 4000 fans filling Hibernians singing along with her.” “Sports stadiums are probably the world’s best theatrical stages,” said Team Manager Steve Busutil. “Performing in them is an important way to spread music to audiences and show what a tangible and important effect it can have on people, not just the fans in the stadium at Hibernians or watching on TV, but also the Maltese players lined-up on the pitch. “It’s a vital moment prior to the game when emotions are high, it doesn’t get any better than having such a big star putting her voice behind us. If Miriam Cauchi manages to transfer her passion to the Maltese players and fans this Saturday it will be an awe-inspiring affair,” said Busuttil. Malta returned from Lithuania on Sunday and started preparations at home with a squad made up of fifteen locally-based players. Malta’s hopes of retaining their place in FIRA’s European Division 2A depend on a positive result in Saturday’s match against Croatia at Hibs, and a defeat could spell concrete relegation worries. The Maltese are currently one place off bottom in a five-team group, a slender four points ahead of Lithuania who are languishing at the foot of the table. Malta uncharacteristically had back-to-back defeats to Switzerland and the Netherlands earlier in the year which has left the national rugby team scrambling to avoid the drop. With the bottom team automatically relegated and the fourth-placed side facing a play-off for survival, the Maltese will be desperate to claim maximum points on Saturday and avoid slipping down to Division 2B. Croatia lost to Switzerland 11-26 last Saturday. Pressure is on both sides to avoid the relegation play-off or worse. Malta climbed from 49 to 45, and Croatia dropped from 52 to 55 in the World Rankings after last Saturday’s results. Perhaps taking the song into their hearts from Miriam Cauchi’s rousing national anthem will be the fuel that ignites the fire for the Maltese national rugby union team Keep your eyes on the Ball! Australia Versus Italy Can Australia get any worse, they are just not firing, but stuttering, seems they need to change the carburettor or get a new engine! They need something to drive them, they need some Ozzie flair, they need to chance their arm, throw caution to the wind and just go for it. Italy will stay with them for the first half, but I think will find it difficult to turn them over. Simons back in the side at Blindside.

It is great to see the teams as they introduce the next generation of Rugby players for the Rugby World Cup 2015. Japan will host the 2019 RWC, so they are looking to push on to another level in their preparations. They beat a depleted Welsh team in the summer and are now looking for another scalp to put on their belt. They played with quite an intensity against the All Blacks last week, but the Men in Black finally ground them down, but they lack nothing in passion, commitment and honour. They just need to breed some of those Sumo wrestlers to produce a bit more size in their forward pack. Japan Versus Scotland Tanaka the Highlanders scrumhalf at 9 for Japan.

Is this the moment when Wales plays the whole 80 minutes to their potential and clean out a Southern Hemisphere team? Stacked with Lions from the tour downunder in the summer, the Welshmen would be thinking that this is the day, this is the hour! This will be a great tussle, tactics will play a big part, the Welsh back three will have a busy afternoon and up front it will be a war of attrition, the breakdown will be crucial. The roof will be open, so the elements may play a part.

Tired of seeing Dan Carter in his undies? Didn't think so. But now, thanks to a major sponsorship deal with Jockey, you'll get to see more top rugby players showing off their modelling skills. Jockey has announced today a three-year sponsorship deal with the All Blacks and All Blacks Sevens teams. The contract will see the underwear brand as the official off-field underwear sponsor of both teams. Jockey has also announced that Carter, the original rugby poster boy, has been given the role of Jockey International Global Ambassador. He says he'll be stepping away from the camera to become a spokesman for the company. "The timing is right for the All Blacks and All Black Sevens to take it from here," said Carter. A marketing expert said Jockey was obviously keen to have the All Blacks' success rub off on the company and help create a bigger brand presence and more sales.

  • Springboks and All Blacks Seek Psychological Blow
    Sports FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2013 Genia’s yo-yo Photo of the day season takes an upward turn ROSARIO: Australia scrum-half Will Genia’s yo-yo season took an upward turn when he was recalled for tomorrow’s Rugby Championship Test in Argentina. Genia comes in for Nic White in the only change to the starting line-up from that beaten 28- 8 by South Africa in Cape Town last weekend. White drops to the bench for the wooden-spoon showdown at Estadio Gigante de Arroyito in Rosario, 300 kilometers north west of Buenos Aires. There is also one change among the replacements with utility back Bernard Foley coming in for Chris Feauai-Sautia, scorer of the Wallaby try against the Springboks. Papua New Guinea-born Genia, 25, has skippered Australia this year in the absence of injured lock James Horwill. But he was axed by coach Ewen McKenzie after leading the Wallabies in a humili- ating 26-point drubbing by South Africa in Brisbane. White impressed sufficiently to stay on the pitch for the full 80 minutes as Australia squeezed a 14-13 home win over the Pumas in a dour duel. But his field-kicking came unstuck in Cape Town and the Wallabies fared far better when Genia came on for the second half. McKenzie, a Super Rugby title- winning coach with the Queensland Reds, replaced New Zealander Robbie Deans after a 2-1 series loss to the British and Irish Lions. But the former Wallaby prop has experienced a baptism of fire with home and away reverses against the New Zealand All Blacks and the Springboks.
