    And six people agreed with this comment!!! Next thing you'll be telling me is that global warming is really happening.

    RWC: AUS v ENG (Twickenham): POOL A; 6am (AEDT) Sunday 4 October

    Had he got a YELLOW card there would have been a few whinges but overall the thread would have accepted it. It was only penalized. So lets all agree for the point of the argument it should have been a yellow. You don't get cited for yellow card infringements. If the citing officer thinks it...

    RWC: AUS v ENG (Twickenham): POOL A; 6am (AEDT) Sunday 4 October

    Apart from SA, who have had to step up to survive, none of the fancied teams have HAD to step up. We'll see a different France, NZ, SA, Ireland once the knockout games start. Australia were just the first team who needed to step up to stay alive and did, but others will surely follow, especially NZ.

    RWC: AUS v ENG (Twickenham): POOL A; 6am (AEDT) Sunday 4 October

    That moment is etched into my brain. I can still feel the euphoria I felt then. But this feels better, because it wasn't just once, it was multiple times.

    RWC: AUS v WAL (Twickenham): POOL A; 2:45am (AEDT) Sunday 11 October

    If I know Cheika he will pick the strongest team so we can play Scotland in the quarters. But that means we may well see Beale at fullback because Folau's ankle might need more than a week's rest; Mitchell for Horne certainly; and maybe To'omua with Gits either rested or on the bench. Isn't it...

    RWC: AUS v ENG (Twickenham): POOL A; 6am (AEDT) Sunday 4 October

    Sitting in a boat in the middle of Germany. Lousy internet so no pictures. Had to listen to the RWC English commentators, who to be fair were very even in commentary. I have no fingernails, its way too stressful to not be able to see what's happening, but its just so great to hear our scrum give...

    They will all be flying one hop in business class with flat beds. It ain't sit-up economy!

    One thing to add. ITV asked for a postcode. I used KT19OJQ and it worked.

    RWC: AUS v URU (Villa Park, Birmingham): POOL A; 9pm (AEST) Sunday 27 September

    So Skelton and Palu are good to go next week? Or did I miss some implied criticism.

    Maybe Mumm will drop back to 8 after 60 to give Palu a rest. He doesn't often play 80 these days, and even more so if he's going to be on the bench for the England game.

    RWC: Australia v Fiji - 23 September 16:45, Millenium Stadium(24 September 1:45 AEST)

    But they're English, so the comment is a bit unfair. They only know two songs - Sweet Chariot and God save the Queen.

    RWC: AUS v URU (Villa Park, Birmingham): POOL A; 9pm (AEST) Sunday 27 September

    Agree when we are talking 1-10 but the fatigue factor for backs 11+ should allow them to play two matches in six days. I reckon Mitchell is a real chance of starting vs England, with Horne coming back against Wales.

    RWC 2015

    But I would guess the playing field was a little more even than last time. I don't think our team is 1999 quality but I still think we are a good chance to take it out. In 2011, with Deans making a mess of it, I thought we were about 1% chance of winning it at the start. This time I think our...

    Except I am holidaying with my wife, including a 14 day river cruise. I want to remain married!

    PC. Hotel wifi (pretty good at this hotel, but some others have been abominable).

    Lots of criticism on this thread for Douglas and most posters think Simmons went well. I don't think the ruck involvements back this sentiment up at all; in fact I would say from these numbers Simmons was one of our worst, along with all the front row. Cheika, by reputation, demands big efforts...
