SELFIE stars Brooke Peris and Jayde Taylor will attempt to retrace the steps of Dennis Lillee and get the Queen's autograph.

Lillee famously produced a pen and pad when he met the Queen during the 1997 Centenary Test and boldly asked Her Majesty to sign it. She refused, telling Lillee to go through her protocol department. A few months later a signed photo arrive from Buckingham Palace.

After taking the selfie with the Queen in the background, Peris and Taylor have been the talk of the Games.

"Our next challenge is to get it signed,'' Taylor said.

POMS GET TECHNO EDGE

ENGLAND’S Sevens team has taken a hi-tech approach to beating Australia in the rugby in Glasgow, and on the road to Rio.

The old rivals will meet in tonight's pool stages and are set to fight over the next 12 months for a top four world ranking, which gives automatic qualification for the 2106 Olympics. England is currently fourth and Australia is fifth.

The Poms have been using Google Glasses and head-mounted GoPro cameras in training in a bid to identify whether players are seeing subtle mistakes and movements in defenders, and taking advantage to break a tackle.

Some of the Scottish Terriers in the opening ceremony were less than well-behaved.

IT’S A DOG OF A JOB

THE decision to make locally bred Scottish Terriers stars of the opening ceremony was a smart move that drew wide plaudits, but behind the scenes there were moments of unrest.

A dog called Hamish was chosen for the lead role after another pooch called Jock fluffed his lines.

After being put in a coat with Malaysia on it, Jock sat down and refused to move. The Scotties are nothing if not stubborn.

The stunning medal podiums are made from local fallen trees.

SCOTS DESERVE GOLD MEDAL FOR RECYCLING

SCOTLAND’S reputation for thriftiness extends all the way to the medal podiums used in this Games.

They have been crafted from fallen trees around the host city.

Elm was used for the gold section and sycamore for the silver and bronze podiums.

Bronte Campbell admitted she barely slept a wink after her Day 1 heroics.

BLEARY-EYED BRONTE NEEDS A SLEEP

WHAT do you do when you’ve broken a world record? You lie awake all night trying to solve the world’s problems.

Australian swimmer Bronte Campbell revealed her restless night after a world record swim in the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay — laying silent and still in her darkened room because her sister had fallen asleep almost immediately.

“I was just buzzing, not really thinking about swimming,” Bronte said.

“Your mind just goes into over drive just thinking about, I don’t know, how to save the world. Solving the world’s problems instead of going to sleep.

“I got to sleep about 3am … Cate went straight to sleep, she has no worries.

Norfolk Islands bowler Essie Sanchez competes on Day 2.

MINNOW HAS THE LAST LAUGH

SOME of the heartiest cheers of the Games have been for tiny nations taming the giants.

It hasn't happened much but Norfolk Island — population 2000 — got a hearty ovation on the bowling green for beating South Africa — population 51 million.

Norfolk Island's badminton team practices on a converted dance floor, which is probably why one of their players, Richard Cribb, said "we have seen some of the other players and we are terrified”.

The house Jim Kerr and Simple Minds used while writing some of their famous songs is up for sale in Glasgow.

STAR’S HOUSE UP FOR GRABS

HOW much would it be worth to a hard core fan to live in the house vacated by their idol?

This is the question floating around Glasgow as Dalkenneth House, where Jim Kerr's Simple Minds penned some of their classic tunes, goes on the market this month for around $1.5 million, complete with recording studio.
