Organization: Electronics Department, University of York, UK

Does anyone have a complete list of the rule changes brought in by
the IRB this morning/last night?
From what I heard on the news they accepted 39 of over 300 proposed
changes, including :

- Try now worth 5 points
- Drop goals not allowed from free kicks (ie. you can't tap, pass and
drop a goal)
- Scrum halfs are not allowed to dummy passes from the scrum
- 12 previous penalty offences (don't know which) are now free kicks
- A quick throw in is allowed from anywhere behind where the ball
lands

Most of these changes are attempts to speed up play, and to make the
game more flowing/running rugby.  If anyone has a complete list,
please post it.

I don't understand this one at all.  If you're driving forward in a mall and attacking,
doesn't the defending team just collapse the thing and then get the ball.   This would seem
to negate a lot of offensive forward play.  Could someone please explain the rationale for
this.

The getting the throw in from a penalty kick for touch is one rule which should've been
changed a long time ago.

                        IRB LAW CHANGES

Here are the changes to the laws that I am aware of, there may be more.

* A try to be increased to 5 points.
* Number of replacements to be increased to 4.
* A player carrying the ball into his own 22m can't gain ground by kicking
  directly into touch.
* Dummy passes from a scrummage will be penalised (worded differentally).
* When a penalty is kicked directly to touch the same team will have
  the put in.
* When a free kick is awarded the team awarded the free kick cannot
  drop a goal until after the ball has gone dead.
* In the set scrum the hooker may raise his foot when the ball leaves
  the hands of the player putting the ball in.
* When a maul goes dead the team not in possesion will be awarded
  a scrum.

I am not too sure about the result of the last one and that may well encourage
the team not in possession to kill the maul.  It will certainly make it
harder for the team in possesion.  

They are supposed to remove the irritating stoppages in the game. If the 
5th one (listed above) is accurate then surely teams will kick for touch.

Here is a list of the England Touring Party to NZ this summer, followed by
the tour fixtures.
                
Can anyone comment on the teams listed and whether they are provincial or 
club (or whatever?).  I am interested to know how good they are so that
any results can be put in to perspective.  I realise it is some way off yet
so the season is still new.
        
I will try and add more about the players and their form this season, we will
see a few in the Pilkington Cup Final between Bath and Harlequins.  If anyone
else has any comments to add then please do.

			   c'mon Auckland, QLD is ready for ya) and possibly in the future

If Newcastle beat Wally's Gold Coast at Marathon and Norths get their
act together against Easts at "picturesque" North Sydney Oval, the Knights
will be leading the competition with only 17 weeks of the premiership

At noon today a 32 man squad was announced for this summer's

Backs:                             Forwards:
Gary Connolly (St.Helens)          Denis Betts (Wigan)
Jonathan Davies (Widnes)           Phil Clarke (Wigan)

Darryl Powell (Sheffield E.)       Kelvin Skerrett (Wigan)
Garry Schofield (Leeds) Vice Capt  
Graham Steadman (Castleford)

A few notes:
If they all remain fit, Wigan will provide a record 13 tourists, 
beating the eight they provided in 1950. Lucas is already in 
doubt after fracturing his wrist at Featherstone last night.

There are four uncapped players in the squad - Cowie,Hallas,
McGinty and Nickle.

Gregory has been persuaded to come out of international 
retirement to have one last go at the Aussies.


If I get time I will send more details, particularly as there
are a considerable number of tourists that are likely to be 
unknown in Australia.

I read today in the NY Times that Gabriela Sabatini is the new number
one.  It was a brief little side note (most of the sports page was taken
up by the Arthur Ashe story... I was extremely sorry to hear that he has
AIDS.  And BTW to "pongami", his open heart surgery was in 1983 - nine
years ago, not 15 - and if he "claims" that that was how he contracted
the disease, I think we should be willing to accept that explanation. 
It's bad enough that he was forced to go public with such a private
matter without having narrow-minded individuals make snide little
comments on how he got infected with HIV.)

Anyway... I just wanted to know if Sabatini is now #1 and when she became
#1.  I hope she stays there for a while - I always liked her.

   Also, how does one choose a good tennis grip size?

   My last racket was a 4-1/2, but I heard from someone to buy a 4-3/8,
and then wrap it with grip tape?  Any suggestions on choosing the grip

I'm a casual player, but I break strings relatively frequently
compared to the people I play with (every 10-15 hours of play).  I've
tried so-called durable strings (gamma marathon?) but that played
awful. I'm looking for recommendations for strings that balance
playability and durability when I restring next, and welcome
suggestions. 

I have a midsize Wilson ProStaff original, and I string at 60 lbs. 
And mostly play baseline.

Thanks,
Rohit

: 4.) Higher string tensions
 
It has been my experience that lower tensions imparts more spin because
the ball stays on the strings longer.

I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to strings...but i was just wondering           how having the vertical and cross strings strung at different tensions          affects spin...
Could anyone explain briefly?    :)

thanks beacoup.

  A friend of mine told me Arthur Ashe declared he has the
  AIDS virus.  He "claims" it was from the heart surgery he
  had 15 years ago...


  On a better note, Kimiko Date, I just heard on the radio,
  advanced in the Japan Open.  Kimiko is a terrific player
  and fun to watch; she's got a bright future.

    Bausch and Lomb sponsors a tournament which seems to be called
the Bausch and Lomb tennis tournament.  Sabatini and Novotna played 
in this tournament.  Sabatini beat Graf on Sunday to win the tournament.

    The French Open does not separate the women's tournament from the
men's in term of dates.  They are run at the same time (usually early
June) as are the mixed, men's and women's doubles (and possibly the junior
events and the senior events).  The same thing occurs with Wimbledon,
the US Open, and the Australian Open.
