No Houston either - been a disappointing return season for him. On the flipside great to see Caleb Timu on the bench!

Ruptured Achilles confirmed for Slipper, Phil Kite called up to replace him. Moore to take over captaincy - not sure what this will mean for his scheduled benchings?

Optimism is high, Reds by 40

I want to joke about the Mumm selection but I just can't. And when we finally are getting some go-forward ball with Timani. Geez. I guess there's always Mumm's legendary ability to disrupt mauls...

Really mixed feelings about this side. Hope they go great guns but can't help but feel a lack of combinations could hamper them. Having said that 7. Pocock with a (c) next to his name brings a bit of confidence. Excited to see what happens and I'll be getting up at 5am AEST to cheer them on.

Have Scotland thrown a straight lineout yet?

Think people are underestimating Kerevi's hands. Case in point the first try he scored against the Bulls this year - an atrocious pass from Hunt which he grabbed one-handed before steam-rolling several Bulls to dot down.

Just saw the Caleb Timu news. Devastating for him and a shocker for the Reds. Damn.

It's still a very strong team. A fit KB (Kurtley Beale) is better than an 75% Izzy. Was at the game last week and he looked to be in discomfort during stoppages. Big Dog deserves his shot after a massive performance of the bench last week.

Just saw this: http://www.eurosport.co.uk/rugby/world-cup/2015/scotland-s-ross-ford-and-jonny-gray-cited-australian-david-pocock-warned_sto4947470/story.shtml Phew!

Hooper got a yellow for this Regardless, the clean out was stupid and deserved a yellow on the night. Edit: didn't see 2013 card had earlier been mentioned.

3 Pocock 2 Foley 1 Giteau

Surely some of these neck grabs are yellow card-worthy offences?. As dangerous as any spear tackle.

Thought Joseph is out of the pool stages?

Good forward play by the Argies and they've got a try despite being a man down. Some pretty cynical penalties from Richie already.

Assume the roof is closed at Millennium for this game? In London at the moment it's freezing and pissing down - Cardiff forecast is 17C and rain on the day.

Thinking of players who will be returning to their third RWC: Giteau (almost said four but forget he wasn't there for 2011), AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Mitchell, Moore, Palu.

Think White and Honey Badger will travel to the USA and probably be in the 23 as they've been doing all the promotional work over there for the game. Cheika definitely said Genia and Horne are back to fitness this week in the post-match interview or airport doorstop on the way home.

Cheika starting the mind games? And this is from the ARU's own PR department...

On GAGR? No. But there's a site called League Unlimited which is pretty rabid and out of control. Would advise against it. I enjoy league. Spent five years living in Redfern and went to any Rabbitohs games there were at the SFS (and a few out at Homebush). Good to see them win it last year...
