Jeez you can see why DTH van der Merwe plays professionally in Scotland, he is killing it already. Edit: This game is very entertaining, both teams throwing the ball around, Japan finally showing their promise, leading by 10 at half time.

Samoa to win with a bonus point, South Africa with no losing bonus point and Wales to beat Fiji with a bonus point. Easy, we don't play them now haha

Better then having Samo start on the wing and have Higginbotham as a cover center. They need to be brought over.

We really should be sending one of Horne or McCabe home, no point having a barley fit 22 going into the Quaters. Bring over Turner or Morahan, we don't need another center. Beale will probably sit on the bench but not come on.

To be fair Scotland were the better team and in no way had a poor performance. I'm confused why Parks didn't just take the tackle? Set up phase for Paterson to have a crack.

Heinz Koll, the lock from Namibia has had a few very good games. His try tonight was brilliant.

You'd think the captain would also be a certainty.

So just because McKenzie isn't available for two years we re-sign a coach who has been unsuccessful and continues to make stupid decisions? This post alone shows some of Deans' massive failings, not to mention embarressing upsets. We are supposed to be the 2nd best side in the World, yet we...

I don't think it was intended to be realistic mate haha.

I wouldn't put any Samoan players in there. They are all full-time professionals and Samoa are no longer a lower tier country. Same can be said for Fiji, with most of their players being professional.

This is all so true. Conspiracy theory? Seriously, why the fuck was he re-signed, stupid decision when you have Ewen McKenzie as a candidate.

My side from the developing (second tier countries). Excluding the Islander nations because there would be a dominance of Samoans. 1- Macdonald (USA) 2-Marius Tincu (Japan) 3- Mihaita Lazar (Romania) hasn't been many stand out props for mine 4-Jamie Cudmore (Canada) 5- Mumuka Gorgodze...

It's too early for me to post a side. At the end of the pool stages I want to start a thread about the Top XV players from the minnow sides, I reckon it'd be an interesting team. But yeh too early for threads like this in my opinion

I think Fernandez plays for Montpellier. But yes, the Argentine spirit is one of the reasons they are one of my second teams at WC's

In terms of intensity yes, skill and entertainment wise no. Wales vs South Africa is still my no.1

They were offside for Parks attempt. Credit to Argentina in the last 10 minutes they were so valiant. Brave performances from injured stars Contepomi and Leguizamon. It wasn't pretty, but it had me on the edge of my seat.

What a finish! WOO c'mom Argies! Great try, Amorisino! Edit: Feels like Quater-Final time already!

I think Scotland is atleast trying to play some footy, but given the conditions it's a bit hard to. They should be up by way more then 3 points.

Also the Argentina's work at the breakdown is brilliant, alot of steals and legal attempts at pilfering.

Felipe Contepomi is one of the toughest bastards around. The way he is running the ball and tackling is amazing. Credit to him, world-class player. And we saw it with Ledesma against England and Fernandez-Lobbe tonight, they breed em tough in Argentina.
