Battenberg, hence Mountbatten in English.

Every team gets a portion of the profits. World Rugby takes a management fee, the home nation gets the gate receipts, and the rest is distrubuted amongst the participating nations.

None that will admit to it.

I'd hope our players are at 100% motivation as well. This is the World Cup quarter finals.

I agree. The term "red card threshold" has to go. It leads to linguistic confusion. This is an example. When the citing officer does his thing he's not saying they should have got onfield red cards. Citing offences by their nature often get picked up after the event, and referees are generally...

The ideal Citing Commissioner would come from Rampant, Paranoia.

That's because he's INVISIBLE.

I think South Africa will take this then take New Zealand in the semi.

Sadly, this kind of conjecture is what passes for evidence in the court of public opinion.

Are you shitting, BRIKZ?

The Cuatro Caballeros of the Apocalypse. I could get behind that.

On the subject of how well the remaining teams are traveling: The Boks are probably the only team playing their A game so far. Perhaps every team needs a painful Japanese foot massage to begin with, as in foot up the a**e. New Zealand are sailing dangerously close to the wind, and now face...

All their guns who are fit. No matter what Gray says to the media, they won't pick injured players, even if those injured players are Pocock or Folau. The question is whether they're injured.

The type of ankle injury that gets worse from being used is a ligament strain. I have no ATFLs to prove it.

Meh, this is a discussion board. If people think we'll win then they should say so, rather than pretend otherwise to appease imaginary forum readers in the event we should lose.

2013-14, against Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and France. We finished up winning seven on the trot, with the run being ended by a draw with New Zealand.

Howlett wasn't injured. He was just a bit of a jerk.

"Rest" as in "they're injured and need recovery time to make it deeper into the event". Not even the most sensible coaches send key players out with injuries when there are quality replacements. Interesting that the people arguing for them to play are Saffers and Kiwis. :rolleyes:

Great article.The names Rodrigo Roncero, Mario Ledesma and Martin Scelzo stand out like dog's balls. That's about the best front row of all time.
