Although his gnomic analysis of QC (Quade Cooper) is a bit, er, gnomic: "The Wallabies can’t win a World Cup with him at 10 but they won’t get out of the pool without him."

Why the Wallabies will thrash England
Chris Rattue
"The bookies have England as favourites but they are calculating with a hole in the head because England have a bolt through the neck. They are the Frankenstein of world rugby, a scientific experiment with an ugly result. Their creators have just enough rugby understanding to put something together with excruciating detail, but not enough to make it work."

Hugh Jarse, I cant seem to quote a post or I would have posted yours @ me, My point about Marler was an observation, so to the rest of my comments,
The reason for them as I've already stated, is, that I cant quote a post to reply to the posters that make comments I would like to address.
I see you are a moderator so is there something you can do to help me address the situation
thanks in anticipation Dai

That's just good Irish narrative is what that is. Beckett, Joyce, and Enright would approve.

That's a great article. I think he's summed things up quite nicely.

Try right click on reply and then open in new tab and you may be able to quote in the new tab instead of a scripted window thingy.
On Topic. I am so nervous about this match. There so many unknowns that I just can't feel to which team is likely to win. Just hope the match plays out to my expectations and isn't a dour penalty fest with niggle.
The biggest concern with that article is that is is written by Chris Rattue.
He is invariably wrong about everything
Under the stopped clock principle, hopefully his was set to Sydney time and stopped at about 8am.

Message to the Australian back row. Do this to Mike Brown! No backwards steps and keep you own fists down. They will try anything to get an Aussie carded. I think Sam was brilliant when this happened
I think this picture encapsulates it nicely the Mike's Brown Pants moment on Saturday. the look of complete contempt on Sam's face and the panic in Brown's (despite the dumb arsed comments from ITV). He should IMHO have been warned and the scrum turned into a penalty if the touch judge had been any good.
Bit of a shame in one way cos I think despite his current behaviour he's a cracking player.

And I don't think this will be an exception. His prediction is pretty fanciful to be honest.
Personally, I can't see us 'thrashing' them.

Pretty sure I heard Cheika make the point that no RWC winner has lost a pool game.
So yep, second in the pool is crap.

Who'd you rather face - us or Scotland? Our pool can still go any which way. You might even face Japan, or even Samoa.

In fairness, a 'thrashing' appears to be the editor's interpretation of a 10 point margin. I'm predicting us by 12.And I don't think this will be an exception. His prediction is pretty fanciful to be honest.

In other news, Ben Morgan claims that England will nullify Pocock/Hooper by 'bashing' them..good luck with that!!

I do think that Pool A 2015 could be an exception to the rule, but it would involve beating the All Blacks in a semi final.

Such history is bunk or at v least irrelevant. Just win it

Some great lines in that piece. Love the one about too many laptops and not enough hard drive.
I'm shitting myself. Need to block GAGR, The Roar, ESPN Scrum etc etc. It's only Thursday and I'm already overwrought - can't imagine how the Dastardly Orcs would be managing the pressure.
