Not overly impressed by the standard of this match. Gonna switch over to Poms v Argies, and check back on this thread.

10-7 to Italy, 19 minutes gone.

Fucking atrocious passage of play.

Fuck me

Forwards giving easy metres around the ruck.

Well I guess I can stomach this match, until the headline tests. Getting worried after seeing those grizzled Italian forwards.

At least PSA no longer persists with Michalak. However, is it possible that Francois Trinh Duc is a massive c*** behind the scenes, al a a certain Australian star

The French will definitely turn up for this match. Remembrance Day will surely be at the forefront of their minds. And they'll want revenge for the 3-0 whitewash in June. Be very afraid!

Thanks for the insight, Boet :)

On Malherbe, I've noticed Blue and Paarlbok (?) herald him as the next "great white hope" at tighthead. For someone like me who is unaware, was he a destructive scrummager in his schoolboy rugby days, and has now transferred that to the senior level?

New Zealand A by 5.

Another unsurprising development re JOC (James O'Connor):

Priestland and Steyn (or Lambie) are going to get absolutely belted in the inside channel this weekend. Potentially Scott Williams & Jiffy Jr, up against Jean De Villiers & Jaque Fourie / JJ - and all up in that 100kg+ range, bar Williams.

Salesi Manu. Watch him go toe to toe with Cian Healy in the Force v Lions test this year

What shits me about our lack of third tier, is that we and NZ could cooperate and help each other, as is the case with the combined competitions of the NRL, ANZ Cup (netball), and the NBL. In each of those instances, we have the majority of teams, and included is a single NZ representative...

With the relinquishment of the Cook Cup, the ARU are able to store some more bottles of chardonnay, in the St. Leonards "trophy cabinet".

3. To'omua 2. Folau 1. Cummins

Glen Jackson

Hooper was the best of a shit bunch. He plays at 1.5x his size; the same cannot be said for other forwards right now
