Was this on SportsCenter?

Found out while reading around that a new world record was set in the marathon. That's a very impressive feat. Now, it wasn't at the track world championships and it didn't involve Usain Bolt, so I'll bet that it didn't merit a mention on ESPN SportsCenter.

World record: Berlin Marathon

We need an alternate sports news channel. Speaking of which, how's the rugby World Cup going? I know that the U.S. got wallabied by the Aussies. Lemme go check...

I'd have to do more research to figure out who owns the tiebreakers (ha!) but it's interesting, as three of the four pools have two teams with the same number of points (all tied for second place), so in each of those cases, only one of those teams will be going to the knockout round.

The USA is knocked out, by the way. South Africa, home of nude rugby fan Jade Fairbrother (check that out, but careful if you click it), is on top of their pool and will be headed for the quarterfinals.
