| Cipriani to move to Melbourne |
It was interesting to hear of Danny Cipriani’s planned departure from his current club London Wasps to newly formed Australian club the Melbourne Rebels at the end of this season in the Super-15 Competition.
The 22 year old fly half has won seven England caps but stresses he feels that England Manager Martin Johnson has overlooked him lately only being selected for the second-string England Saxons team. The move to Australia he says is to improve his game and learn from the players down there.

| The Sarah Connor Chronicles |
This is a great little series, a spin off from a HUGE movie franchise. Unless you have been on the planet zog for the last few years or were perhaps born in the 1990s then 'The Terminator' and its sequels have pushed the boundaries and set a lot of the agenda for all things science fiction and a dystopian future where things (namely computers and machines) have gone wrong (read revolted and rebelled).
