I've got a theory about attack/defence ratios. By which I mean you have a man who has 100% of his energy to allocate to attack and defence. Most guys I reckon set the bar at about 60% attack 40% defence. It looks to me like the Fijians have it set at about 80% attack.

No, Frans is full of himself

Booooooooo

Can we swap Ma'afus with Fiji?

Poite is giving a penalty every time duPreez waves his hands in the air.

Bloody ball-busting game so far. Fijians really matching the Saffers in physicality. They need more pick'n'goes, though, the holes in the Bok defence are right next to the ruck.

Greaaaaaat. No openside flanker. Sure! Why would we need one? :tard The funny thing is that I woke up this morning with a bad feeling about this one. The Irish are going to see this as their grand final, and we're going to be our usual complacent selves. If we lose, it will make Pool D...

France v Japan - what the hell was Walsh thinking in the first try? Medar gets tackled, rucked over, then he just stands up again without releasing. Walsh was 2 metres away. Dickenson should have been selected ahead of him - he's just too crazy.

Don't forget that Australia might be playing the second placed team in this pool. I'm kind of hoping it's Wales.

fatprop - there's a difference between QC (Quade Cooper) niggle and Bakkies niggle. With Bakkies' niggle, you wake up in hospital. QC (Quade Cooper) is just pissing Richie off. It's like a tailender giving it to the fast bowlers. I'm loving it.

Georgia were awful and Scotland struggled to put them away. You'd have to tip the Argies on what we've seen so far.

As if Robbie would say that! More like:

Cycloptic little video with 60,000 hits, thank you very much.

True, Bon. Except that for the first time ever, it seems to be working. I'm completely astounded at Farr-Jones's comments. In NFJ's day, there's NO WAY any of the boys would put up with an elbow in the face, or never think about niggling an opponent. The 2011 Wallabies are much cleaner than the...

You did notice that the iRB just directed the referees to crack down on pillars and driving through offside at the ruck?

Don't be silly. Digby Ioane is the one with white hair! Next!

Is that an A-team apart from halfback? If so, why Ellis?

Top Bloke - then why was it POB who broke the news to ML?

Sheridan out of RWC. He's not a major threat, but it will help us win a semi-final against them.

I'm not. But it has to be used judiciously. If you have an excellent sledge, you don't yell it out every ball. Just when it might exert maximum pressure.
