Might put $10 on that.

When the Bench is emptied, its still a good side. Making a handful of assumptions. Crockett Coles Franks Thrush Romano McCaw Cane Messam Pulu Slade Savea SBW Crotty Piutau Smith Is a pretty decent side, and rackng up some early points will be essential for us.

Sextons objectively the best fly half in the Northern Hemisphere. I'd also take him over Lambie, Pollard, Foley, Steyn, Spade, Barrett and Cooper. A fit Dan Carter probably wins, but we've not seen that for a few years. Cruden is a 50/50 call, but Sextons been better this year.

It's not an easy side by any means. But it's significantly more exploitable than any side I've seen from the All Blacks in the last couple of years. Potentially the best opportunity for a win in a long time.

Slipper will end up with a ridiculous amount of caps, given he could have another 2 cycles left.

Italy hadn't won a Test since this time last year though. Winless in the 6 Nations, with losses to Samoa, Fiji and Japan in June.

The new turf went in over the Summer, is holding up really well.

Now, with 5 channels plus Fox Footy, there's perhaps a bit more room to wiggle on that front. Of course, they'd have to be night games, because ITM Cup would provide similar enough content for a similar price, along.with the added bonus of not having to film it themselves.

9 Thursdays, plus the extra game before the Bledisloe, plus the three finals. 13 games shown. Bluntly? What promotion did Foxtel give. There was some during other Rugby on, and one every hour or so on FSN. We need more than that. We also need buy in from all the rugby communities, to turn up...

Nah, thir-tieth time lucky ;) There'll be a couple of changes from the team that beat the Pumas. Weir will likely come in for Russell. Denton or Beattie will replace Ashe. Grant and Swinson will probably replace Reid and Hamilton. Cusiter in for the concussed Pyrgos if fit, otherwise...

Made his debut against Romania off the bench. No idea how he went, but the USA side missing their premiership players won reasonably comfortable, despite getting smashed at set piece time.

No, same question was asked in the Post match interview. Grant Gilchrist is a good player though, will probably take Johnnies spot in the starting XV when fit. Toolis twins could be anything though. That could be pair 42 of the brothers.

Too much jacking it over the Gray brothers in the Scotland game. Otherwise it was nice.

Because of Exams (fuck exams BTW) I've had neither the time nor the energy to watch all the tests, with the exception of the Home Nations v Rugby Championship. AB v ENG and SA v Ireland Covered by their own match threads. The SRUs Highlights are an excellent, albeit long summary of the match...

He's no Sean McMahon,

Imagine that. Deciding to play for the club that will pay for both of your degrees.

Meh. Go Saints.

Jesus Christ. That's as bad as Jeremy Guscotts European Cup Preview.

Lucky me who has Setanta. Well, the old man does. :p Ah well, the Scots game is on Fox. Probably because of the BT Sport thing.

Odd positional choices. DTH is much more of a wing/13. And Braid is more of a Full Back/Wing. Should be interesting to see how far ahead of Namibia the Canucks are.
