Well done your boys.

English sent the A-Squad to South Africa too. They didn't need to play midweek.

Nice to see that the Aus selectors took my advice and played the forward boppers and Magnay on the wing.

Probably the best you guys could have hoped for. SA are IMO the most vulnerable of the big 3, Argentina and Kenya are bigger threats than France on the basis of the series, and you avoided Japan in the bottom seeds.

Pools Pool A: Fiji, USA, Argentina, Spain Pool B: South Africa, Australia, France, Brazil Pool C: New Zealand, Great Britain, Kenya, Japan

May 2017. Not ideal, but a hell of a lot better than last time. There'll be scrambling for 1st seeding and 2nd seeding. Not updated from the weekends matches yet (bloody World Rugby), but the 2 big fights seem to be for 2nd-4th, and 8th. NZ are a nice chunk ahead of everybody else, but 2-7...

Not ludicrous bad, more, surprising and hilarious that that ended up being the final result, given the presence of 3 Series teams, a Hong Kong side that's beaten them twice this season (at this tournament and the Qualifier) and an Ireland who've been excellent in virtually every tournament...

What a ludicrous result. Can't say they don't deserve it, beating the undefeated Ireland, and series regulars Russia and Canada. Makes me a little sad tbh that there's only 12 teams going. As we've seen throughout the series, at the Hong Kong qualification tournament, the Olympics qualifying...

Hartley learned his lessons about being on the refs good side when he got Red Carded in the English Prem final in 2013. Accusing Barnes of being "a fucking cheat" isn't a good idea. Particularly when he repeatedly says, don't kick the ball out on the full, there will be time for a scrum, you...

He's said it's too soon for him when he signed, and I'd assume there'd be a little clause in his RFU contract with a big financial bonus for turning it down. Joe Schmidt has 1 win from 2 in South Africa, missing a few of his best. If Wales don't dramatically improve in the 3rd test and EOY...

What we need is everybody to piss off Boudejall. Aussies pull in Mitchell, Gits and Cooper, Wales pull in Halfpenny, Georgia pull in Gorgodze, South Africa Habana and Argentina JMFL. Be the best way to finish the French Season.

Always good to see good players playing Rugby.

Europe master Race.

Tits for hands, turnstile. No thank you. Looked like a play on 99.995% of the time. Foley had changed his angle a little bit, Farrell had little aggressive in getting past, but nothing in it either way.

Probably right. Where you would have thought say, a Horwill & Carter/Simmons lock partnership would have been better, rather than having to take off Arnold you could have held off on bringing Mumm on for another 8-10 mins, Holmes could have been held back too. McMahon, Arnold and Slipper...

Went a bit early on the forwards subs TBH. England just held, then when the tide broke, they brought on the forwards for the energy boost at just the right time.

Doubt it. RWC Seeding happens within a year, if England continue on this sort of trajectory, they'll not have much ability to pick up points elsewhere, particularly given ~6 of their 9 tests between July and May are at home. These ones are important to stay high, albeit rotating in a couple of...

Might depend on the Ireland v South Africa result, no one else is close enough to make a difference.

Scotland up 26-13. Not watched it, but Japanese apparently went down to 13 men, including a deliberate knock down so obvious World Rugby should use it in the referees instruction book.
