Freezing Lindo, although thank goodness it wasn't played tonight as it's snowing here right now. Being a wine man, you might appreciate the french way of dealing with the cold at a rugby match - vin chaud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vin_chaud). A couple of those pre-match did the trick. Maybe...

Only just coming down off the high of being at the game and seeing the Wobs put a good pasting on the frogs. Twas a top night and a great team performance. My player performance comments are on the 321 thread so won’t repeat here. Maybe seeing it live you tend to gloss over the rough patches...

Spot on Cyclo. As per v Italy, he would hold the 10 channel until he made or attempted to make a tackle then would go to the wing until a turnover. I think it was in the game plan.

Awesome all round team performance and very hard to pick the 321. 3. Shmoo - excellent finishing and line breaks, and top try scorer for the tour (I think), nevermind THAT kick. 2. Rocky - as per someone above, is finally playing AND running the side, and communicated well 1. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) - a...

I confirm that. Dry and blue sky at 12h30 Paris time but quite cold. Slight sprinkle of snow yesterday but didn't settle. Paris low of -3 means about -8 at the Stade so I had better dig out my woolen undies.

On Digby in general, should he return from injury and continue his form from last years internationals and this years Super 14 then yes he should be in the 1st XV. Forget not, however, that we all assumed Genia would do the same and he hasn't. And how will Morty, Horne and Chambers go on full...

Chateau Tah is not the biggest of places and my wife is not always keen on me bringing home strangers from a rugby match so not sure if that would work. There should be plenty of options for hotels, where in Paris do you want to stay? near the Stade or in town near the pubs? I will send you a PM.

The weather man has forecast snow here on friday and saturday, which will slow the game down. Does that change anybody's team sheet predictions?

Was it 1 from 6 or 7, or something like that? I was at that game two years ago and, I kid you not, the home fans were booing their own kicker for his last fews attempts.

I expect that he will be given the burden of goal kicking duties. All we can wish for is that he won't be providing more fodder for Gagger's Yakkity Sax video.

He would be as cover for 13 or maybe Hynes is still deceptively injured.

As much as the thought has crossed my mind, Haggard, your theory doesn't have weight. Picture this - a photo of Deans holding the Webb Ellis trophy on the front page of his resume when he applies for the Darkness top job after the World Cup. It would guarantee he gets it.

Not I. It sounds like a dodgy Toyota from the 80s.

I just finished the Anesi ruggapedia profile http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/forum/showwiki/Sosene+Anesi. Check out his top flight point scoring abilities: Chiefs - 5 tries in 41 games All Blacks - in his one and only All Black game, not a single point in over 20 mins as a replacement for...

What he said. And what fatprop said below - we didn't lose the game, they won it. I reckon the Poms would have given the ABs a real run for their money with this effort. Our defense was crap and our composure was sorely missing at times but gee whiz the Poms were on song. Had they played with a...

3. Beale 2. Moore 1. Pocock Special mention to Sharpe, Burgess. -1. Gits, Quade, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), McCalman, Chis and Dingo of course.

I'm with Scotty on this. This was the best that England has played in years. They played well v the ABs then kept the momentum going against a more beatable side. So I would say their actual performances were a bit better by their standards than how rated above but lost a few points because they...

Could someone please fax this to Dingo Deans as the backline for the WC 2011 team sheet?

Also under the LMRDT is Ella Sevens, which is an annual one day 7s rugby tournament held in Coffs Harbour involving 24 indigenous teams from all over the country. It is reported that Deans and O'Connor are known to show up at these events.

Great article about the dark arts. It's also so much harder to push when your head is not down. It seems to me that our loosies are just so worried about the opposition loosies breaking early and charging at Quade, Beale or JOC (James O'Connor), or whoever is there, that as soon as the hit is over then up...
