Makes me feel like chanting the BBC fishing forecast.

I'll take this Genia. More good than bad.

Foley! Woo.

I have outstanding sperm motility.

Not mine, Cardiffblue. I'm an Aussie. :-) But my son is Cornish.

They do. An oggy is a pasty. The pasty sellers used to shout Oggy oggy oggy! down the tin mines. The miners used to shout back Oi oi oi!

Oggy oggy oggy! My son's Cornish rugby team used to chant that before games.

Fiji have a devestating shove. Lots of fast-twitch athletes in the scrum.

The Internet needs a universal icon for irony.

Because last year we were a team divided, that had just been through the painful loss of a coach on tour, while the new coach was struggling to implement a new gameplan on tour, using someone else's selections? Because England are now the team divided, unable to settle on a starting XV, trying...

That doesn't mean that Simmons is the only one with the intellectual gifts to learn. It seems to me (as a back) that having two or more strong callers in the Wallaby setup would be a major advantage, in the event that Albert Oppensimmons is ever injured. That would require planning! Perhaps...

Better to have them barking in the front yard than barking in the house. A far better source of mentalism is the Roar front page.

Not many international backlines are breaking the line much these days. Not even the ABs in this tournament. Individual brilliance and the counterratack seem to be the main source of dazzling tries. Defences seem to have improved.

All things considered, that's the 15 I'd pick. The 23 is more important in the new way of things. If only Quade had got his act together in time. Him in imperious form would change the equation. As it stands, in the forwards, I think we've got two of the stars of the tournament already in...

That's poetry, plastic paddy. I completely agree. The best stadium, with the best atmosphere in the world.
