Best game | Canada / Japan |
Best national anthem | Italy. Those of Wales and Russia are also excellent, but Italy's was better suited to the soprano-heavy choirs used. |
Best Morris dance | New Zealand |
Best facial hair | Adam "Bigfoot" Kleeberger (Canada) |
Worst facial hair | Louis Stanfill (USA)'s pathetic moustache |

Best team | New Zealand |
Hardest workers | Japan, against France; and Fiji, against South Africa |
Most exciting team | Fiji |
Most exciting players | Ma'a Nonu (NZ); Martin Castrogiovanni (Italy) |
Most impressive player | Tendai Mtawarira (South Africa) |
Biggest disappointment | Takudze Ngwenya (USA) having no impact whatsoever |
Biggest annoyances | New Zealand's timezone, and scrums not being fed straight |
Don't worry, it'll be in England next time. Does England have enough big stadia? Twickenham, O2, Olympic park, Leeds... Or might they use the Millenium Stadium and Murrayfield?
Apparently the Glasgow commonwealth games swimming competitions will be in Edinburgh!
