Yes, it certainly smells of a last ditch panic to get everyone on the park.

Nah, it's totally normal for the flankers to be crossing their feet as they drive forward..

Agreed. This game is going to be really tough. Any player not at 100% will be found out, or possibly end up sitting on the bench. That will put immense pressure on England.
One of the single biggest mistakes we made during the Lions Series was selecting Horwill in the third test when he was clearly less than 100%.

Did you see Ben Youngs after the game? Went off limping, and looked like he'd just woke up from a bender during the interview. Not sure how healthy he is overall.
Would the Wallabies rather deal with Youngs at scrum half or Danny Care? I'm not sure Wrigglesworth provides much spark.

Jokes aside, England did kick it 43 times against Wales.
Surely they are not going to be heading Izzy's way so I hope Foley has been practising day and night.
The Tahs super rugby exit model, dropping bombs right on top of Foley's head would be Plan A if I was England.

Part of the reason England lost to Wales is because they kept kicking away the ball. I'd be surprised if they kick it as much against us.

I think all rankings matter. Not the be and end all but they matter. Wales are to be congratulated on their 2.
All we need to do now is chase it down.

I could probably work this out myself but I am too lazy right now, so on the off chance that anyone has already worked it out, can anyone plot the remainder of the tournament based on an Australia win and also an Australia loss on Saturday. It seems like the other pools are playing out as predicted with big boys topping their respective pools. Is it safe to assume if we do lose this weekend that we would want Wales to lose to Fiji? Who are we most likely to meet along the way to the final?

And part of the reason Wales alsmost lost is because they kept kicking it away. It was only when Wales started running it in the last 15 did things look very different. God help us if we get into a kicking war (general play and penalties). The score will be a multiple of 3 to nil.
