He's pretty consistently received MOTM votes in the 5 test matches we've played this year. I think he's very clearly showing that time in/with the squad pays dividends and he's very much a key contributor to the team.

I spent a considerable length of time in Colonial Hong Kong, I was always struck by the percentage of British expats were Scottish.

What's the approach you'll be taking to watching games?
The live timeslots are pretty awful for those in AEST areas. I'm thinking of saving the late night efforts for if/when the Wallabies play knock-out games, and the rest will be full or extended replays in the morning after.

Yep. Fortunately I'm attending the Wales and Portugal games in person but no chance am I staying up for the first two. Will stay up if we're in the QFs.
Default position is watch the games delayed ASAP when waking up, in the order they happened so you don't hear a commentator dropping a massive result out of order. Unless of course the Wallabies are playing or maybe the big ones like Ireland v SA.

this is my target, though I won’t be surprised to find it too much for the Group games.

I'll probably stay off rugby sites and watch the 5am games the following night in the lead up to the 1-2am matches...
The match times were much better in the last RWC in France back in 2007 as quite a few of the big games kicked off at 3pm local time which translated much better back here... and from memory Channel 10 broadcast almost all of the games which was a bonus.

Yes, even the final last time was a late night pub start rather early morning. Ireland this week is a good time, the rest is horrible 5am starts.

I'll be more excited in we have a previous winner. As long as it is us. Otherwise I would like it to be Fiji.

This is a huge loss for them.
Fiji always have the weapons but it felt they had proper direction with this bloke. He was also a very good kicker giving them the ability to take the 3 and get you behind/extend a lead.

That is kind of a shame even if they are competing with us. Is he out for the tournament?

The way it’s phrased it seems to be the case.
Might be a chance if they made it to a QF…

That sucks for Fiji, was really hoping to see them light it up.
But it's good for us because I was pretty concerns about them lighting us up!
