Fuck. You're an even worse troll than me.

It was so good though...it's what I'll console myself with if the All Blacks (sorry New Zealand) lose.

Looks weak. Wobblies by 50.

Please play Beale at 12.

I am sure you will be equally concerned for both sides. ;)

Who are your wings after Habana and Pietersen?

McCaw is a very clean player. (especially considering the punishment dealt to him and how long he has been playing) Pushes the laws to the limit of what he can get away with ('cheats') but he isn't dirty in terms of trying to injure or hurt others.

Pocock doesn't jump though - does he? Though to lift must require some calf strength.

TKB has bben more calm and steady coming on. TJP gets so amped up coming on late he has trouble with a few mistakes and decision-making. I think he is better starting than as impact so he can settle into the game more.

I assume Moody is regarded as a better scrummager, being a specialist loosehead. Ben Franks was picked because he covers both sides. Moody is more a like for like for Woodcock, whereas Ben Franks perhaps has more impact hitting rucks later in the game (see the Ireland game we almost lost a...

I am worried for a couple of reasons: -if it rains it might turn this into a close quarters slug-fest - which definitely favors the Boks. We just aren't as physical as they are. -the Boks are underdogs

Carter, Nonu and to a lesser extent Smith were superb against France last week. SBW played one good game against Argentina in the RC and then has been very good as a sub when the game loosens up in the last 20 minutes. He was poor in our loss in Sydney. I expect Conrad Smith to be subbed off...

Joubert certainly loves the ANZACs. He gifted the World Cup to NZ in 2011 (I am told) And now he's at it again gifting Aussie a semi.

Kriel and De Allende are robust in defence for sure, but I actually think going into a WC semi with those two plus Pollard puts them at a disadvantage due to their lack of experience.

Aussie by 50 - Eaaaaaaaaasy

The ABs have had the most backline flair for years.

Akira Ioane was a star in the Auckland game. I see him a future star of the game - absolute beast.

Total BS the French are feeding the journos about a "mutiny". Tricky pricks.
