Hey Nick, How's the weather forecast for wellington tomorrow?

I'd love to see: 1. Cian Healy v melon, 2. Rory Best v Bennett, 3. Mike Ross v Bomber, 4. Donncha O'Callaghan v Clarteris, 5. Paul O'Connell v AWJ, 6. Stephen Ferris v L'idiot, 7. Sean O'Brien v Breadman 8. Jamie Heaslip v HLF 9. Conor Murray v Rambo 10. Ronan O'Gara v Vatican...

2011 RWC same result as 2009 7s RWC. Strange things happened over there too. Remember where you heard this spooky prediction first and viva Argentna!

Had to switch gwlad off after that 'Warburton out' thread started - strangled the gnome and kicked him 50m down the road. He's back now, mind

My dream (one of many) is that we get far enough ahead early to take the pressure off. You're right tho Scotty. The Irish tactic will be absolutely as you describe. Hopefully, unlike Australia, it won't take us by surprise. 26 hours to go til we find out. watched highlights of wales vs...

Think you lot need to get out more often

Point taken but do you think Hook is playing well enough to pick at FB? In my selection on this site I couldn't pick between them. As Rugby Nick pointed out, Hook isn't a FB either. In the end I just think they have chosen the 22 that are 1) on form and 2) offer the greatest flexibility in terms...

That's the trouble, Heresy I know and I will have to offer a prayer at my shrine to Gareth Edwards for saying it but I don't actually think the Welsh forwards are the best. For instance on evidence to hand can I 1) pick Breadman Warburton over McCaw? 2) AWJ over Matfield. 3) Faletau or Ryan over...

Have been giving this more thought and have found playing partner for North, so backs are: 15 North 14 North 13 North 12 SBW 11 North 10 Priestland 9 Genia Forwards still to come

Lee - regarding your post above. Great analysis - feeling calmer. Just one point re: Shane- agree he hasn't shone, but when Wales were butchering everything, it was Shane that rescued the move for try and killed the game for Samoa

Bloody Hell Thomond- hadn't noticed that! The man they call Brian prefered at outside half to Wellies. That's going to take some thought to work out permutations. Spose Hook can cover more positions -still, I'd have thought that Jones' experience and nerve might prove crucial. Don't like this...

they do call him pikey

frier a great after dinner speaker

Drew Mitchell - my favourite australian wing. Desperately unlucky and a great loss for RWC

Hugh, we've been jinxing ourselves for years. If we get past the tarmac boys, I'll start the thread as by then the optimism meter will be busted anyway!

No it's time to believe (at least publically)!

N'importe quoi. What are press over there saying about another world cup PR disaster?

Tindall -dead head more like

Orcs beat Frogs by 4 (13-9) Wallabies beat SA by at least 10 NZ trounce Argies by 26 Wales beat Tarmac boys by 5

Plastic! Shewerly not ? Not pissed off with Ronan O'gobshite by any chance are you dubs? got a lot of time for the way the Irish keep producing quality teams out of such a small player pool, but quicker O'gara goes the better
