We have a tough pool, no doubt about it. Not worried about resting players though. We have had plenty. The last thing our players need now is another 2 weeks off. Most will get off against Namibia, but in the rest there will only be minor rotation. There in a row, and then some rest is fine. We...

Great job Austin. Now you will have me going to bed two hours late tonight so I can arse around with this :)

Whats going to be really interesting is how teams are going to cope with injuries, because they will sure get them. Every one of the top teams have two or three players that are near irreplaceable and we'll all be praying they stay healthy. This is the healthiest an Wob squad has looked in...

Hit a nerve? Completely over the top response. Call the mods then. Call your dad and your big brother while you're at it. Cooper seem to be quite good at getting himself into shit and as is usually the case in this country, if you're a footballer you can get away with it if you say you're...

Everyone cheats. They do it a little bit more, but much more effectively that the rest. In any sport the team that consistency beats everyone else is ultimately accused of doing something untoward. Just get them for the pillars at the rucks, that's all I ask. I find that more infuriating than...

onevili twovili threevili ... Getting my coat now.

If there is one game that the Kiwis will get up for it's France in a world cup, at home in Auckland. I think the frogs are going to get their arse kick real hard.

Resting.

A guy with great rugby skills (excluding tackling) who unfortunately has the mentality of a delinquent 12 year old.

He is your 12 backup, or who would you play there? Kahui? Toeava? None of them are 12's. He has been picked and I think he will do fine there but Nonu would be a big loss. You are of course welcome to play any fullback at 12 seeing as you have such a brilliant history of plying fullbacks in...

Lifting the ban on singing and chanting at the SFS and will increase the beer queues from one to a whopping two.

Fiji or Samoa to beat Wales. Anyone know a site that has information on the Georgian players? Where they play etc.

They better else the stands will again be half empty.

Spot on. Alberts to me is a sub. A great one. Comes on when people are tired and comes at them at pace and tackles hard. I hope we see Schalk and Brussow together against Wales.

We'll never know. We took one look at league and thought you have to be kidding. No pushing in the scrums? Fuck right off. :) Until I came to Australia I thought AFL was something drunk people did when the cricketers were having tea. Like a pissed version of touch football where everyone...

4 and 5 lock are two very different positions. Lots of 5's can play at 4, but very few 4's can move to 5 and organise the lineout. They also have a license to roam a bit more which is often not suited to the 4's body type and brain. Horwill is to me a tight lock. Get stuck in. Thorn is 100% a...

Lions look legit. Still think they need a better front row and a better lock in 4 if they are going to make a dent in the Super 15.

Quite possible the worst place in the world to play an away game. Teams always struggle there.

A well crafted post but I have to say Australian rugby fans are among the most fairweather I have come accross in any sport anywhere. Thee defect to ping pong and Degenerateball at the smell of a Wallaby loss. You even find people who admit it.

Why are people picking Thorne? He was okay but Horwill was better. You can't play Horwill and Thorne together. Too similar. I would play Horwill at 4. But for the fourty great minutes from Vicks, no other 5 put of their hand. Vicks was terrible in the lineout which negates that...
