You don't think it's just the players who slow things down for a breather do you? He's not as young as he use to be Nige
Haha Maybe
I think he’s a fabulous ref. As you say though, he’s now missing things he didn’t used to

Yes it will.
SAF were unlucky to lose the pool match against NZ.
They’ll give it a red hot crack in the final.
No one else will come close.

It's been a bad day. Time for meditation. My fireplace better viewing.

Don't disrespect the mullet! Also he's 24 with 9 test caps. For comparisons sake, Conrad Smith had 6 caps at his age, and didn't establish himself as the undisputed starting centre until he was about 26/27 years old.
Goodhue and ALB will be the next long-term midfield. They'll go to the 2023 RWC, and possibly 2027.

So my next fav NH side would be Wales.
I am now rooting for Wales

I'm very surprised at how sluggish Ireland have been . Slow line speed from the first 5 minutes. I said to the Mrs at 15 that the game was over and she was surprised, but they just didn't have the fire tonight. The look on Schidt's face 30 minutes in showed he knew it too.
That said I picked the ABs to win, because I felt that Ireland peaked last year and are just missing a couple of key players. However the ABs have stepped up and are playing their best game of the year. This is a complete performance.

Who cares. Actually a Daniels Rye, bought last time in duty free. Highly recommend it

Go for France and live on le édge. I'd certainly like them to open up Pandoara's lesser known box of madcap frogs and fart out a win against Wales.
EDIT: Plus they're apparently in the midst of another player revolution. Means we're approaching peak RWC France. If they somehow beat Wales, they'll produce their requisite one unbeatable match per tournament before collapsing in the final. Get on the roller-coaster.
