Yeah - he started out too whistle-happy but matured into a pretty good ref. He's just the kind of ref wee need in these dark times ...

And the penalty try from scrums is given. Italy have the bonus point win. Can Australia miss the quarters entirely?

Pretty good game, physical, flowing. Worth a watch. Italy need 4 tries so are actually trying to score some.

Edit: Clancy has lost the plot. Only penalising one team in the ruck, awarding 90 degree against a scrum that went about 50.

Bollocks? Ask Dan Carter. He's being diplomatic here, but this is clearly a fuck up. But it might be a fuck up which favours the Wallabies, which is the best result you can get out of the iRB...

Weird. I guess that means if you're 9 points down after 80 minutes you can still try to win the game by scoring a try in a manner that gets yourself horribly injured by the tackler. It's tricky, but would be possible for the truly committed.

Ask him about his attitude to Quade's defensive problems. Will ever get better or lost cause? Is it fair on his wingers and fullbacks?

In a sense.

Poor brave Scots. Maybe they'll beat England?

Wayne Barnes has fucked up royally. All those Argies were offside.

Geez tranq, your bloke's not much good.

You couldn't have been more right, tranq.

Yes, they do!! See, you bastards, all you have do if go for it!

It's a 6 point game, let's see if the Argies actually go for a try.

Droppie 9-6 Scotland. By the way, did anyone else get fucked up by New Zealand starting daylight savings today? I missed the first half Fiji v Samoa, but didn't figure it out until now.

This is what I'm talking about. Penalty on the 40m - kick for touch, MAUL a try? No, kick for goal into the wind and rain and come away with nothing.

15 minutes in the 2nd half and all we have is 2 missed field goals. You feel like slapping these teams, don't you? Do you want to be in the top tier or not? Then play!

Agree. Argentina don't want to play rugby. I wanted them to progress, but having blown it again England by refusing to go for a try, and now look like stuffing it up against Scotland, I hope Scotland go through.

Fiji just haven't got it this year. The Samoans were faster, stronger, and more organised. Let's hope they can knock off South Africa.

I just want Split Enz. They can have the rest. For coaches, we've got Ewen McKenzie, Michael Foley, David Nucifora, Michael Cheika, and perhaps even Rod Macqueen as candidates for the head coach's job, and dozens (Tim Lane, Todd Louden, Alan Gaffney, John Muggleton, Les Kiss, etc, etc) who...
