Rugby-Up to Cooper if he quits Wallabies, says Aussie chief
Thu,27 Sep 2012 09:28 PM PDT
Reuters - SYDNEY, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Australian Rugby Union chief John O'Neill is "utterly confused" at much of the criticism levelled by Quade Cooper at his organisation and says it is up to the flyhalf if he plays for the Wallabies again. Cooper, currently sidelined by injury, said in a television interview on Thursday he would not play for Australia unless changes were made to the "toxic" environment surrounding the team, which he felt was "destroying" him. "Most disturbingly, he was firm about not playing for the Wallabies unless things change," O'Neill said in a statement released on Friday. ... Full Story | Top |

Argentina, Iran say to talk until 1990s bombings resolved
Thu,27 Sep 2012 07:08 PM PDT
Reuters -  BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina and Iran will keep talking until they resolve diplomatically sensitive issues stemming from two 1990s attacks on Jewish targets in Buenos Aires that were allegedly sponsored by Tehran, both countries said on Thursday. Dialogue with Tehran is risky for Argentina, even if the focus is on Tehran's possible culpability in a pair of bombings. The opening of a diplomatic channel with Tehran could anger the United States and Israel, which are seeking to isolate Iran as it appears to pursue nuclear weapons. ...
