Yeah and I’m going to kick your butt in the fantasy game ;-)

And don’t underestimate the difficulty. It looks easy to us on the sidelines, but you’re sprinting at 11s/100m, simultaneously trying to navigate around 2 defenders and perfectly land the ball into the hands of a bloke also sprinting 10m to your right. Other countries have players who can do...

I think the improvement to try to make an elite player already playing at his best,better, is marginal. We saw an example tonight with Genia, his ball clearance at the start of the game was outstanding. Once he got tired he reverted to the norm, a few sideways steps. It was obviously...

Like if we ran lopeti timani out instead of hoops, hey?

I blame Pulver. It has seemed pretty obvious to me that Cheika’s package was highly leveraged to the success at this World Cup. That has allowed him a lot of leeway with experimentation with both personnel and tactics. The positive from that is that he has built a lot of depth. The biggest...

This.

I’ll just pick whoever wins tonight! Just someone kill these poms.

The lineout was woefully obvious. Except to the touchie

We just need to stay stay in the hunt. We will finish better than the dodgers. Without. A. Doubt.

Fuck no

Kurtley needs to pull off a blinder

Home nation exemption. Much like Piers Francis’ exact same tackle as Lavanini.

I'll make the same comment that I always do which usually results in comments like 'blue coloured glasses' etc. But it can't this time.. ..I reckon the coaches have a better idea who to pick than we do.

Had to laugh at this Twitter post from @rugbysmartarse: so for the biggest game of the cup so far, and in an Era of high attention to the tackle, with Ben Skeen as TMO, Eddie selects the Venus De Milo of rugby at 10. feeling better today

It was a short reign for Lilo ;-)

Fox via Doran reporting we’ll be naming: 13. Petaia 14. Hodge 15. Beale (DHP if he fails HIA) 23. JOC (James O'Connor)

On a player v player basis I can see the rationale to start Petaia in the 14 jersey. However, from a strategic point of view I think we should start with Hodge at 14. The reason being that we may get a couple of opportunities early on for c. 55m penalty goals. Once their legs tire a bit and...

Yeah, I tend to agree. There's going to be so much focus on them they may actually err on the conservative side. What I'd like to see for the finals is that unless something looks really, really bad and intentional, give a yellow and let the citing dude deal with it after.

tomorrow?

This article is hinting that we'll see 9. White 10. Lilo 23. To'omua for this game, but it seems to be only mildly informed speculation...
