England v South Africa [EDIT: Argentina, just checking if @Brumby Runner's awake] preview is up:

http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/preview-england-v-argentina/#disqus_thread

I didn't realise Poms had won their last 12 games & here's the scary bit: if they beat Argentina & your blokes, a Grand Slam gives them 19 & the Tier One record, which we would never, ever, EVER hear the fuckin end of. It therefore behooves someone to stop this madness in its tracks!

In the meantime, give Lee's preview a click.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Well WOB, they could be two games closer after this weekend - playing both Argentina and South Africa?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

France v New Zealand preview is up. Pretty sure I got the teams right, @BR

If you've nothing better to do, could be worth a click.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Ah, WOB, but which France is it?

 

[kaze33]

I hope we will not be ridiculous like the last time

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

@BR: Not even the French know the answer to that one just yet, they'll maybe get round to thinking about considering the various options just before they hop on the bus to Stade. Or maybe en route. Or maybe in the changing sheds. Or maybe next Tuesday at 01:23. Or maybe not. They're the French & they love messing with our Anglo-Saxon/ Celt heads. Or at least they want us think so. Or maybe not. Hope that clarifies things for you. Me, I'm crystal clear.

Highlights when I can find some.......

 

[ACR]

If there's ever a game you might say all the points will come from the tee, it would be Wales vs SA. Not suprised so far.

abs need to take the ref out of the game, clean fast accurate,

 

[zer0]

The jersey doesn't look as bad as it did in the promotional stuff. The angled logos are still annoying, though.

Yeah, look fine. Logos are a disgrace though. You can't put the fern at an angle. Can't believe the NZRU signed off on it.

 

[zer0]

Giggles @ Barrett causing a knock-on by placing the ball on the wrong side of the breakdown.

 

[ACR]

AB's too unorganised after 2nd phase attack, results in some average kicks.

 

[zer0]

Troll-den Barrett.

 

[ACR]

Ffs, trying to be too bloody fancy.

 

[ACR]

Got probably the two best locks in the world and el capitan. Why do we do these innacurate low kick restarts! Giving France every chance to win this game.

 

[Upthenuts]

read should have taken the 3 infront
