You have a point about the defence coach saga. I forgot that. Definitely spells trouble.

Wales 'in one of their deepest holes for a long time'

Hate to say it. But the Wallabies will win this one. And I’ll be happy for them if they do. 7 points?


So let’s focus on who Wales might lose to after the Wallabies.

Scott Robertson explains the new halves pairing for the All Blacks ahead of France

Thats pretty harsh on Mckenzie after his performance against Ireland. Does Razor calling him the worlds best bench player shows us where he really wants him. Personally I don't think Beauden's done enough recently to come straight back in ahead of him.

Thats the best NZ team right there (barring injuries).


Dmac off the bench makes sense. BB to kick the ball around a bit to (hopefully) tire out those big French forwards.


But we also know the French just lurv a good kick fest. So it could be boring for a bit. Interspersed with some ridiculous tries from either side.


Dupont, who starts this game provisionally rated 9/10 by the Rugbypass people, is going to need attention.


My heart says NZ but my bum says France. Hopefully I’m wrong. And/or it’s tight.


The game. Not my bum. My bum is tight.

‘Not a huge surprise’: Michael Hooper on All Blacks’ win over Ireland

Yes indeed. Our forwards shaded Ireland's regardless of the conditions and our backs played sensibly also. If anything we should have done them by another 10 points+. France have a history of upsetting ABs so deserve utmost respect but no team is unbeatable. Should be a mighty match up between us.

It's about time rugby kicked out one of its values

What a load of dribble. I could only read the first 3 paragraphs. Everything we do needs standards of behaviour acceptable to a peaceful society. Adults have a responsibility to show the way for children to achieve these standards. Next you will be trying to convince us that Trump has values we need to accept.

I feel for the fans. It will bring me no pleasure being right about Borthwick getting fired by Monday (with Gatland).


But for the good of both teams…


I really mean this. I hope I’m wrong about England getting pumped. The fans deserve better.

Hmmm. Interesting that they shipped 42 points.


Which is 1 point short of 43 being their record margin of loss at Twickenham.


Hmmm.


So if Australia can put 42 past. The boks can put at least 1 more than that. And then don’t let them score.


Anyone playing the Lotto this week?


1, 10, 27, 29, 44.


You’ll have to add one of your own. I can’t do everything.

New scrumhalf rule among 4 global Law trials as others shot down

How about changing to a tap and go for a knock on, for what is a handling error leads to minutes lost with scrums and resets and often a scrum penalty which is out of whack with the “offence” …which it isn’t.

Boks by between 10 and 44.


We’ll split the difference. So 27 points then. Minimum.
