Alan? Well, I never. Very surprised to hear this.

Yeeeeee-fucking-hawwwwww! Almost caught myself feeling sorry for the Welsh there, almost. Then I remembered the big bucks I shelled out to go sit in the stadium in Lyon and watch us get pummeled 40-6 in the worst fan experience of my life and my sympathy evaporated hot quick. When was the last...

All Blacks dominated every statistic, they just forgot to win. Really gave that game to France.

As predicted England’s depth too deep, Reimer is good, Massimo looks to be promising not much beyond that.

In Ireland V Arg, Arg received a kick off, were subsequently held up and Ireland got the put in at the scrum, I thought if it was off a kick off, then the ball doesn’t get turned over?

Eh, not too bad, wake up at 6, smash it out be in the office by 8:30.

That is genuinely outrageous if true. What an entitled fuckwit.

I love that you guys hate Barrett. I asked a 'Canes supporter this morning if she loved Jordie and she said she actually didn't like him or rate him. If Aus had the Barrett Dynasty we wouldn't shut the fuck up about it.

seems JAS is to the bench and Williams potentially out entirely.

Latest Christy mail, which has been uncharacteristically unreliable of late, has these changes: - Williams drops out for Skelton (surely not) - Uru to replace Wilson - Alaalaatoa to start and captain - Jorgensen replacing Pietsch - Kerevi replacing Sua'ali'i with him going to the bench

Who's gonna be the next AB 7 after Savea & Cane?

Hmm isn't that the problem? Their price tags are way too high for us, they're all getting paid overs. Hard to justify making Harry Hockings the highest paid team member in front of Bell, Kellaway or Sua'ali'i. Also not sure Hugh Pyle would be much use, he's now a mortgage broker.

It's a glorious morning. Evidently an Aussie once stole his girlfriend because his chip on his shoulder about us is very impressive. I'm always curious to know what nation he's from originally. Something France-related me thinks.

Yep I like the look of that team a lot. England should still handily deal with it, as they should. Their talent runs way deeper than ours and it's equal parts hilarious and embarrassing that they can't get their shit together.

It reminds me of the French teams from 5 years ago, 35% world beaters, 40% acceptable internationals and 25% wouldn't be selected for any other nation. Apparently there's a virus going around the team hence Dupont training separately, and Antonio and Penaud having left the squad. Easiest chance...

Eh locks (and props) are such a tough investment. It doesn't work in Aus with our overreliance on players that look the goods under 23 years. Staniforth, Philip etc all come good in late 20s well past their expiry date in Aus rugby.

From a wholly selfish point of view, it's great news. Robinson will, within reason, help support the game here. He supports the nations cup which should get Aus a larger slice of the (bigger) pie.

I have no idea if this is any good but it will piss off that Tier2 asshole on twitter so I’m happy with it.

I find this french team really, really uninspiring. Alldritt has been poor, their backrow is not threatening, Roumat shouldn’t be an international. I think Meafou and Flament aren’t working well in the 2nd row and Baille is a big loss. I really think NZ’s forwards are going to walk over them.

Ntamack is injured again, which normally leaves Jalibert as his replacement, as we saw Jalibert start throughout the 6N and RWC. But he's now been dropped from this weekend's match with Thomas Ramos most likely starting at 10. Jalibert is at least 3rd in line then, wonder if he has an Aussie...
