So that we can be all about equality and have muppets like Joy Neville doing it part time.

The bookies still have us $1.45 favourites, they actually do a fair bit of analysis by people they pay proper salaries to to arrive at these odds. I'm sure if someone wants to do a man on man analysis you'll find Fiji might be ahead in a few spots but not enough to say that you'd think they...

With the Roosters bowing out last night I'm guessing we will hear the official Crichton announcement in the coming days.

This is not a case for players switching to the front row late in their career, more just a bit of a trivia from even more the amateur era. Jon White was a second rower at school and actually made his debut for the Wallabies (v NZ) in the row. On the subsequent tour due to an injury he took...

Headlines such as 'World Cup campaign in peril' are just clickbait. Even if Skelton has to go home (which I doubt) we have adequate cover there, and bigger pre-existing issues than the loss of a second rower, albeit our captain. Personally I just think they are being very conservative with...

Uelese on the bench is the other change and no Gleeson. Plus IFL obviously

If they are both available I think they would go with Pone/Nongoorr and TH and Bell/Slipper at LH. Less upsetting of the apple cart. Also read somewhere that Kellaway may be back at 15, don't know whether or not that means Gordon is being rested.

There's a strong chance that all 7 of our Fijian heritage players are in the 23 for this game. I am OK with Suli being on the bench for this game but I'm assuming it wont be Lalakai at 22? Kellaway probably.

If we navigate through the pool stages successfully I doubt we will see England this RWC. Only chance could be in the final, you'd hope he'd be right by then. Regardless, I'm not factoring in England until we lose a game, but even then I'd back us to beat them.

We can navigate through the pool stages without Thor. There's a 2 week turnaround then between Portugal and the quarters, I can understand why they don't want to risk him. We need a second stringer to rip off a fingernail or something though so we can bring in some cover.

Barring some shuffling on the bench I don't think we will see any unforced changes for the next 2 games. Philip or Frost to come in at 19, some well documented uncertainty around the front row make up, White/IFL @ 9/21 and Kellaway in for Vunilvalu.

Richard Harry would like a word

I am guessing that playing for NSW pulled rank on running for the school. The risk of doing a hammy etc, he is contracted to RA remember.

I think Tupou is just being managed rather than being a major injury threat. I'm more concerned about Pone. If he's not fit soon he 100% has to be sent home and Sio needs to be brought in. It sounds like they may be preparing for that with Slips going to the TH side.

Whilst I am sure both Pocock at 2 and Hooper at 12/13 would have had some level of success, I think the only thing we can be certain of if these things happened is that Liam Gill would have played a lot more tests. And that someone would now be saying similar things about him. Anyways, back to...

Just did my tips for this week, pretty dull week. Aus v Fiji easily the match of the round. No doubt another good game or two will pop up but otherwise just a heap of likely thrashings.

Mine: Full replay: France 27 New Zealand 13 Australia 35 Georgia 15 Wales 32 Fiji 26 England 27 Argentina 10 (have requested this 2 hours of my life back) 20 minute mini: South Africa 18 Scotland 3 Watched bits live in conjunction with the Roosters final: Italy 52 Namibia 8 No fucks given...

Thinking you might have been 'shown around' by someone who was involved with last years' Norths U16 team? ;) And who is Erwin from Kings?

The new place would be roughly equidistant to Sydney and Brisbane. My money is on the Brumbies though.
