Exactly. People still won't go along and watch if the Force are playing boring rugby and winning by 1 point every game. Kurtley is out of contract at the end of the year, he would be a good crowd puller.

I think Cottrell only signed for 1 year so no doubt you guys will be having a strong crack at him again to move back to QLD.

I think Cheika in an interview last week mentioned Morahan and Nayarovoro returning? as possibilities. They would be a surprise. Would prefer DHP

Even as a Force supporter I think McCalman should have left when he had the chance, if he was playing at 8 for the Tahs or Brums he would have cemented his Wallaby position

Crusaders: Ben Volavola, Johnny McNicholl, Sean Wainui, Ryan Crotty, Nemani Nadolo, Richie Mo'unga, Mitchell Drummond, Kieran Read, Matt Todd, Jordan Taufua, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Codie Taylor, Wyatt Crockett. Reserves: Ged Robinson, Joe Moody, Mike Ala'alatoa, Scott Barrett...

As always depth is going to be an issue once injuries set in. That team would look so much stronger with Faulkner and McCalman in place of Millar and Alcock. Only changes to the above could be Stander for Alcock, Grant for Lance and maybe Masirewa on the wing.

I don't know if I agree with this sentiment. Why does he deserve an off season? He chose to go and play rugby in Japan during his off season to get more money. The ARU allowed him to play in Japan but I don't think the Force would be happy if this meant he could take off 1/4 of the season...

I don't understand how the first Wales try wasn't offside. The commentators and refs only focussed on the players next to and behind the kicker but the halfback who scored the try was way in front of the kicker and ran towards the ball after it was kicked?

Is everyone just assuming that Mitchell and Gits were having their last wallabies fling for the World Cup or have they actually retired from international rugby. I don't think they should but could they still be playing next year?

1. Rebels make the finals next year and no other Aussie Team 2. Debreceni becomes starting #10 for Wallabies sometime in next 2 years 3. Karmichael Hunt plays for Wallabies next year as bench super sub (similar to Beale now) 4. All Blacks drop to #2 in the world temporarily after McCaw...

If Pocock is somewhere around 90% fit I think a good option could be to play him off the bench. If the game was close he could come on for the last 20 mins and win some crucial penalties. Alternatively if we were winning comfortably (hopefully) then he could stay on the bench.

We have got David Pocock and Michael Hooper, they are both world XV quality. We got this

Yes, come on Fiji. If Fiji can upset Wales then that would most likely mean the Wallabies only need to win 1 of the last 2 games to qualify. So that would take a lot of pressure off.

As long as this doesn't mean McKibbin has to play 9?

So we pretty much know what the starting lineup will be. Who do we think could get themselves into the team for the England game with a good performance. I think with a great performance the following could get into the England game that weren't against Fiji: - Mumm could take Douglas's...

Watching the game I was expecting him to bring on To'omua and Beale as "finishers" earlier and we would run away with the game. I was annoyed that he waited so long to bring them on. But now I realise the reason must be due to the short turn around to the Uruguay game and the fact we have a...

Japan were sensational but I still think that game will be an anomaly and will have taken a lot out of them. I think normal service will be resumed now and SA will win all remaining pool games and Japan will not beat Scotland or Samoa. 2nd place will come down to Scotland v Samoa as most...

Just had another look ahead at the quarter finals and it just shows you how huge it would be to finish on top of this group. If we finished top then we would most likely play Scotland or Samoa in the QF and then Ireland/France or Argentina in the Semi. We would avoid NZ/SA/England until the final.

Lets not forget that bonus points and for and against could be critical in these games. There is a possibility that Australia, Wales and England could all lose 1 game each. So all 3 teams need to put on as many points against Uruguay and Fiji as possible. Assuming they can all beat Fiji that is.

This is the thing, the way I see it we need to plan the upcoming games as follows: - Sat 5th Sep vs USA - Mixture of A and B Team - Wed 23rd Sep vs Fiji - A Team - Sun 27th Sep v Uruguay - B Team - Sat 3rd October v England - A Team - Sat 10th October v Wales - A Team Then obviously 3 more...
