Yes probably even more likely.

Won’t be surprised now if an ‘injured’ player gets sent home and Foley comes in.

We can still top the pool if we get maximum points. If we don’t get bonus points we might not make the quarters.

3. Donaldson 2. Frost 1. Bell Agree IFL was good but can’t give him points for a 20 min stint so HM for me

Yeah all I’ve seen on the socials is why our first try wasn’t one.

Well that was ordinary. Glad I didn’t get up at 1.30 for that. I’m ok with it provided that the upshot is we come out and put Wales to the sword and come away with maximum points. However that looks doubtful. I just don’t understand the ’kick it away at all costs’ game plan, and can we stop...

Both - probabilities of winning and they set the odds such that the house has the edge. The probability at $1.45 is around 70% of a Wallabies victory. Betfair - which is people (amateurs and pros) betting against each other - are generally the most accurate as it represents the true odds as...

So that we can be all about equality and have muppets like Joy Neville doing it part time.

The bookies still have us $1.45 favourites, they actually do a fair bit of analysis by people they pay proper salaries to to arrive at these odds. I'm sure if someone wants to do a man on man analysis you'll find Fiji might be ahead in a few spots but not enough to say that you'd think they...

With the Roosters bowing out last night I'm guessing we will hear the official Crichton announcement in the coming days.

This is not a case for players switching to the front row late in their career, more just a bit of a trivia from even more the amateur era. Jon White was a second rower at school and actually made his debut for the Wallabies (v NZ) in the row. On the subsequent tour due to an injury he took...

Headlines such as 'World Cup campaign in peril' are just clickbait. Even if Skelton has to go home (which I doubt) we have adequate cover there, and bigger pre-existing issues than the loss of a second rower, albeit our captain. Personally I just think they are being very conservative with...

Uelese on the bench is the other change and no Gleeson. Plus IFL obviously

If they are both available I think they would go with Pone/Nongoorr and TH and Bell/Slipper at LH. Less upsetting of the apple cart. Also read somewhere that Kellaway may be back at 15, don't know whether or not that means Gordon is being rested.

There's a strong chance that all 7 of our Fijian heritage players are in the 23 for this game. I am OK with Suli being on the bench for this game but I'm assuming it wont be Lalakai at 22? Kellaway probably.

If we navigate through the pool stages successfully I doubt we will see England this RWC. Only chance could be in the final, you'd hope he'd be right by then. Regardless, I'm not factoring in England until we lose a game, but even then I'd back us to beat them.

We can navigate through the pool stages without Thor. There's a 2 week turnaround then between Portugal and the quarters, I can understand why they don't want to risk him. We need a second stringer to rip off a fingernail or something though so we can bring in some cover.

Barring some shuffling on the bench I don't think we will see any unforced changes for the next 2 games. Philip or Frost to come in at 19, some well documented uncertainty around the front row make up, White/IFL @ 9/21 and Kellaway in for Vunilvalu.
