They say an average age of about 27 is perfect for the RWC.

Based on that, Georgia is going to win. They'll have to upset Fiji in the final though.

Wow, didn't pick the welsh for being that young. That's impressive.

Georgia to win the world cup

Thought the Argies would have a higher average, Ledesma and Roncero would have to be almost 60 by now.

Bloody good player, I thought he was as good as Pocock (just in that game) when we played him.

I remember watching the game. Certainly wasn't expecting him to play that well! The commentators as I recall were quite taken aback.
