The Rays will need a power cut or a bomb scare to keep this to only 30. If it runs for 80, it could be a record score. Plenty of mismatches in the one on ones.

Sportsbet will give you 9.20! Can't last long!

If the 10 is not adding value,it makes it hard for the centres to have much penetration. My problem with Foley is that he either tucks it under his arm and scoots,or gives it early so the defence is never really asked to make a read. Both To'omua & QC (Quade Cooper) play at the line a lot more,which is...

I didn't mean to infer Ben V played well. Just that I believed he played better than Foley.

I've lost the love for Foley,I just don't think he offers enough. Not fucking up is not enough. He was outplayed by a guy in a losing team,who couldn't make the bench for the Tahs in past two years, To'omua should have gone on with 20 to go,not 2,how else can he play his way in to the side?

Scotland didn't offer much at all until Japan ran out of legs. Both Samoa & USA can beat them IMO. It's a really interesting pool.

If maximising merchandise sales is the objective,they should scrap almost that entire range. How many 7's away jumpers you reckon they sell? I actually tried to buy a 7's Jersey a year ago,and could not source one. IF they had an away jersey that was used on a regular/ semi regular basis,I'm...

If they just want him to hang out wide,they have thrown their money away. There are plenty of better finishers than KHunt. I can't see how playing to his strengths weakens the team. If it does,then their systems/recruitment are contradictory.

I think many of the minnows have improved,but there are a couple of 'tier 1' nations that might be there on reputation only. SA appears to be in terminal structural decay,and Scotland are consistently weak.

They didn't get a chance to compete,the ref was very quick with the whistle. The yanks are entitled to be a bit grumpy about their treatment by the ref. He appeared to only referee one team last night. Samoa were flattered by the scoreboard IMO.

Bookies don't agree. They have Georgia 5.00 Which seems very generous!

I can already taste the bile in my mouth that I know is coming,when England score a try identical to this. Just after one of our props has been binned for allowing a pommie prick to illegally bore in on him. But I love a conspiracy feeling......too many years at HK 7's watching the refs keeping...

From what I have seen,Green is a grade above Mcintyre in every facet of the game.

I think we're all getting a little over excited about his immediate prospects. He has serious gas undoubtedly,but that's only a small part of the required skill set. He needs to improve his strength in contact & his kicking game dramatically before bring considered at the next level IMO.

I think he offers a reliable,consistent safe option. Which isn't a bad idea,when you have a lot of inexperience in the squad. I reckon you need a couple of wise heads in the squad to bring along the young guys,when there are huge question marks over the competency of your head coach.

You could make a case against every 10's defensive capabilities. To'omua,who i rate as one of the better defenders at 10,still misses his share. To my mind,there are missed tackles,which are still acceptable due to the circumstances,and then there are the turnstiles. IMO,none of the wallaby...

The score line flatters Brisbane big time. For theRays to get within 5 late in the game,after bring one short for most of the night,was quite impressive. They started the season as favourites to win the spoon,and have subsequently lost 3 of their best forwards to NH contracts. They are...

Very frustrating! But,still an improvement on last years coverage,so I'll cop it on the chin. Especially as its at no additional cost. Hopefully they will get their act together.

My understanding is that he got a pay increase to go over? I don't perceive there was any reputation all risk at all. Most League journo's are more cheer leaders than analysts.In the event that he did fail,I believe it would have been viewed more as a failure by the code,not by burgess, and...

Where's the massive risk? Unlike Hayne,Burgess went over on a huge guaranteed salary. If he failed,he would still be welcomed back into the fold like a prodigal son.
