[<a href="http://www.planet-rugby.com/Tournaments/British_Irish_Lions/story_44766.shtml">Match report</a>] The ever gracious Sir Clive Woodward boarded his flight home reminding Kiwis that the World Cup's the only true test of a side.</p> <p>Now there's no rugby till August, when we can look forward to the Tri-Nations and the NPC (ahead of the end of year All Blacks Grand Slam tour of the UK - yep, it's a long season).</p> <p><strong>Michael Campbell</strong> wasn't able to repeat his winning form from the US Open, but came fifth in the British Open at St Andrews.</p> <p>Boxer <strong>David Tua</strong> is set to return to the ring at the end of the August. No details on where, who, or why. </p> <strong>The Warriors</strong> beat the Roosters, <a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3350073a10713,00.html">24-22</a>, to keep alive their hopes of making the play offs.
