I'll be honest, i only like writing match reports when Easts win haha. Poor display out at St Lucia, forwards were dominated leaving the backline helpless. Davies and Morahan were clinical in their try finishes, whilst McDuling was devastating, my man of the match.

I have to agree with the two above me, poor form by O'Connor, he should be disciplined for this. Foxsports is saying he could be suspended from the Suncorp match, and rightfully show, get some cockyness out of him.

Why didn't he just turn up hungover? Not that difficult to do if it meant avoiding this news getting out

Publishers would be spewin

I can't see many of the WC squad members being chosen apart from those Deans has said will play. 1- Daley 2- Polota-Nau 3-Slipper 4-Timani 5-Mumm 6-Hodgson 7-Robinson 8-Dennis 9-Phipps 10-Barnes 11-Mitchell 12-Giteau 13-Horne 14-Morahan 15-Gerrard Bench: Hanson, Cowan...

Deans just said on the Rugby Club that Horne, Slipper, Tatafu and Mitchell will all play against Canada, possibly Barnes aswell (can't remember). Also said they'll hold Palu back a bit.

I'm just confused about who will play against Russia and USA, those would be the games I'd be resting Pocock

Wait.....no openside back up?

What a twist! haha Also that is a great squad, now a converted Deans fan

Fairfax reckons he might get in, makes sense actually. Fullback who can cover as a third half-back, guess we'll see

The only positive I see out of this is that the Reds keep Link longer now

Fuck how much better does our 22 look with those guys in it. Tatafu, Mitchell and Slipper all bench with Horne and Palu also bench options (or starting for that matter). We actually have got it pretty good, with only one front line player ruled out of the WC (touch wood).

Never been a massive fan, but he had character and was a fantastic player. He got a lot of my respect the way he played this year for the Brumbies, week-in week-out he performed in a struggling team. Good luck in France Gits!

Nick Phipps must also be doing a dance

He had injured his shoulder after mis-timing a big tackle.

I don't see why Deans is favouring Hodgson as Pocock's back-up. Robinson was arguably the best openside in Super Rugby this year.

That group will be awesome to watch unfold....except poor Namibia, feel for them! I actually think Samoa has the goods to progress from this group, they will beat either Wales or the South Africans to qualify imo. Then you have Fiji who on their day turn it on, although last year or so they...

I wonder what people's reactions will be if Drew doesn't get picked despite passing the fitness test. Personally I will be disgusted if that happened.

Root for the wallabies, easier said then done for some of us!

He is easily the best around the field working prop in the country, he would only be playing against the lower nations anyway. Believe it or not props have to do more then scrummage.
