They don't know when the ruck is over

Wales oz game went for 1 hour 58 minutes and 23 seconds (just checked on Kayo). If you take out ball out of play time, you double that.

He's got a fair bit of love for Cheika, but there aren't many better readers of a game in Australia. At least anyone who comments publically. Pretty funny how Kimber is getting less and less sure about his status quo rugby opinions because Morgs will have a very convincing answer for why...

Let's work our way through the framework That's the defense I'd be running with. Read was unsighted

Kieran Read might be in a bit of strife for a shoulder charge to the head of the ball carrier against Canada. Might get away with some mitigating factors because the ball carrier is 20cm off the ground...

61 applicants, 12 on the short list, 2 coaches interviews.

We would kill the players. Games would be going for four hours!

D) doesn't think it was a dangerous carry

Is it really a suprise? We have had one genuine world class 10 since professionalism, and he was a creation at senior pro level. Our junior/club systems haven't thrown up a top ranking 10 since what, late 70s?

Cheika may have also literally told him that he would not be picking him while he was coach of the Wallabies

Do you reckon he's going to need to address it playing in Japan?

The ref (and Wales) would say he interfered with play bu cutting down the options available to the half

Toomu has started at 10 4 times for the Wobs. Twice in big losses to NZ in ancient history and a nice win against a pretty poor Italy on tour last year. The 4th is the big loss to England last year. Encouragingly we went into half time all square at 13 all in that game, but then they blew us...

Scotland v Samoa pretty ordinary game so far. Hard to see how either side are going to score tries in these hot humid conditions

Wallabies v Wales - 376k FTA Metro only 303k on Fox Probably around 800-900k total. Update: 395k metro and 181k regional Most other RWC games on Fox around 30-40k

What about the scrum penalty we earned that To'omua kicked for three points and the other one we earned that the Welsh acrobat kept in play which would have been a lineout on their 22 while Kepu was on the field?

I'm going to be pinning my hopes on England being ravaged by fatigue, injury and suspension after playing must win games against France and Argentina in successive weeks

Funny, I'd been watching the success that cross field kicks have been having, along with the prevalence of one off hit ups and out the back plays and was thinking the games are becoming more similar!

Yeah I think that's the answer. Hang in there, turn them around when you can and don't give up the catastrophic error leading to the try. Which we haven't been able to do in either game so far

Official reason was this was a planned fatigue management decision made from the start of the World Cup. The team is very wary of his cumulative load this year for obvious reasons Unofficial reason was that CLL has barely been able to train all week after getting smashed repeatedly in the Fiji...
