Lots of neutral (mostly kiwi) fans on here complaining how the Scots should have won. Give me a break. If those team's had switched jerseys you'd be talking about how the Wallabies deserved to lose, were completely outplayed, let in 5 tries and only scored tries due to the Scots' errors. If...

I dont think anyone is trying to take credit away from the scots for those tries, but they both required an element of luck and a moment of error from australia. You say they were scored from pressure but australia werent under anyvconsiderable pressure on either occasion. The intercept try was...

The final penalty was a tough call but thats rugby. I actually thought joubert should have blown a penalty to the wallabies at the last scrum. I think the stats of the game will show the wallabies were mostly the better side. They scored 5 tries to 3 and two of the scots tries were against the...

All Blacks now once again firm favourites to easily take the title. That suits us just fine.

Really enjoyed this game. As a neutral fan with no skin in the game I must say I thought Wales were mostly the better side and it really looked like the Boks were heading for defeat in the second half. No doubt the Boks will lift against the All Blacks but they're going to have to offer more...

Well thankfully the All Blacks' record this year has been 1 outstanding performance for every 2 or 3 average performances. Looks like they've done their dash :D

Could be Gatlands last night in charge if wales lose. Almost certainly will be for meyer too

Foxtel are replaying all the wallabies games atm. It's a Wallaby Smorgasbord before an early night; Getting up early to watch the games.

It'll be fascinating to see how this game unfolds. Ireland are deserved favorites and I expect them to win given their record in big games over the last two years. However I think one thing in Argentina's favor is most people would agree that the Southern Hemisphere teams look to be playing...

I reckon this one will go down to the wire, but im quietly confident we'll win. IF the wallabies can manage to get a good lead going into the second half, I'd like to see Douglas and Fardy subbed off if possible. Those guys will both be needed for 80 minutes in the next two games, if we get...

At least, for a change, it is nice to see this type of thing occurring nowhere near the Wallaby camp.

Oh I'm not suggesting they aren't 'his words', but as a lawyer this is the type of thing you would say to your client "you write it at first instance and then I'll tidy it up". I'm simply saying that I suspect he's received some outside input in the finish product. nothing wrong with that.

Agree BH. Although I probably also agree with comments on the Podcast that it's likely the post was settled by his public relations team or someone similar. It's very well written and the impression I get from JOC (James O'Connor) makes me think that JOC (James O'Connor)'s first draft was probably heavily edited. Still I think...

The All Blacks are definitely Iceland from MD2.

This comment is obviously tongue in cheek, but there is something to that idea. IF the Wallabies were able to go on to beat the All Blacks in the final people's perceptions of these players would no doubt change. A guy like Foley appears to be coming of age and its possible we could be looking...

hmm. If Folau is selected and then spends half the game limping and grabbing his ankle like last week I'll be pissed off.

In Australia's favour is the age of this All Blacks team. McCaw and Carter are both exceptional players, but both are past their best. Of course they are still arguably close to the best in the world in their respective positions but they are unlikely to dominate a game like they could 3 or 4...

Agree with all of this. England weren't/aren't as bad as people are making them out to be. They were ominous in NZ in 2014. At that stage they seemed to have all of the puzzle pieces falling in place. If they'd gone on the win that game against Wales - and let's face it they really should have -...

what is with the god-awful timing of these games. How's a man meant to enjoy the world cup when he's getting up at 2am on Monday morning.
