Wealthy Kiwis "doubling-up"!

Replacement hooker for Los Pumas could be AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s brother!

Yeh, IMO, there's no comparing Nonu and SBW. I always worry when we face an ABs team containing Nonu.

Worth remembering, Pfitzy, that the following players in tomorrow's starting 15 were not in the starting 15 at BC #2: Slipper, Douglas, Simmons, Pocock, Genia, Foley, Mitchell, and Giteau!

If history repeats, the Wallabies will be the 2015 champions, given that New Zealand has never won a RWC offshore, and no country (e.g. Argentina) has won, after losing a pool-match. I hope history is ready to 'repeat'!

If the next captain is chosen on "looks", (i.e. on Twitter, by teenage school-girls), it will be Sam Carter!!

"The boot was on the other foot", for me today. Watching our Grandson in the 8 year-old touch footy comp on the Gold Coast. Given that some tries are declared 'no-tries', due to a player being "tagged" as they are about to ground the ball, and play is re-started, it is fairly easy to keep the...

He might have been deputising for Stephen Moore!

Dewald Nel, could that possibly be "Herbie the Love Bug", in disguise? If it is, I fancy your chances!

Ouch! Isn't that what Sydney-based Tasmanian Devils get?!!

Are you referring to an over-used "yapping-muscle"?!

Just read the latest news on Euro-Sport website. The team announcement has been delayed. It appears Folau has a more serious injury: ........... "number eight David Pocock (calf), full-back Israel Folau (full-back), and prop Scott Sio (elbow)"!! No proof-readers at Euro Sport, methinks. Those...

I don't subscribe to the theory that "the Wallabies can't win without Pocock and Folau". We have worthy replacements, which I would prefer to see "start", (given that they both acquitted themselves well against the "whinging" Clansmen). If Pockock and Folau are near 90%, then put them on the...

Given that the 'Lad from Limpopo' is 38 years and five months old, will this be Victor's second-last Rugby international?

Some great "no-tries' there, oztimmay. How about the guy with the "lawnmower"!!

My original comment was to show that there was an incident in the match that could offset the Scots cry of "foul", over that final penalty. My Jarse's comment above shows that action has been taken in the past when more than 15 players were on the field. A fine for the Scots sounds good to me...

a. He should have gone to the TMO, and asked for an adjudication. b. No, Australia should not lodge a complaint, however, the ARU should draw this incident to the attention of World Rugby, and whatever the Referees governing body is called, but only after the RWC is over. (Not like those...

Can't accept that as an excuse, Braveheart81, mainly because it is Twickenham, and there looks to be up to 10 or 12 metres of turf between the Heineken sign and the dead-ball line! Have a look at Slim's (SMH) link. A "spider cam" shot would settle this debate!

No way, dru! Are you telling me that you regularly see bench players on the field of play (between the goal-line and the dead-ball line) when one of their players is between these two lines, and about to ground the ball for a try? I'm not talking about them running on after the ball has been...

Thanks for posting that link,Slim. If you play the video clip, and stop it at about 26 seconds (17 mins 08 secs into the match), you will see why I said at the time that the Peter Horne (#12) try should be deemed a "no try", because Scotland had 18 players on the field when the ball was...
