    Pity that Connacht lost Shane O’Leary to Canada. Himself and AJ McGinty who was capped by USA were both useful 10s. Instead we have frickin Bleyendaal qualifying next year. Dumb.

    Corey Flynn has hung up his boots. Great player with a great career.

    coreyflynn222 Last night I had the privilege of playing my final professional rugby game for the World 15 against Japan. I leave this game having made some amazing friends and having had some amazing experiences.

    I've updated the first post of this thread (http://www.thesilverfern.com/post/186962) with the broadcast details of the matches to be played on 10-12 November (depending on where you are). See also at the bottom of that post if you're outside NZ. Some details may change, so I'll check them later in the week.

    Manu Tuilagi update, from the Times UK

    Manu Tuilagi: A witchdoctor found three lady spirits who had married onto me

    “I saw the witchdoctor for two hours a day for four days. She massaged my whole body — all I needed was a towel and the Fijian oil. She was half-Fijian and half-Samoan and found out that there were three lady spirits who had married themselves on to me for the last three years.

    “The witchdoctor told me that was why I had been injured. The spirits wanted me for themselves — they wanted to punish me and injuring me was the way to do it. Every time I played — bang.

    “Instead of beating me physically they made sure I was injured but that is gone now and the whole body massages have blocked the spirits from me. They can’t see me, they can’t find me now. Although when they read the newspaper they will know where I am again.

    I was quite surprised he came out to the public with this. Western cultures wouldn't understand this part of our Samoan culture.

    I've seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Witch doctors severely hindered his fighting ability.

    England team to play Argentina.

    England XV: Mike Brown; Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Henry Slade, Elliot Daly; George Ford, Ben Youngs; Mako Vunipola, Dylan Hartley (capt), Dan Cole; Courtney Lawes, George Kruis; Chris Robshaw, Sam Underhill, Nathan Hughes

    Replacements: Jamie George, Ellis Genge, Harry Williams, Joe Launchbury, Tom Curry, Danny Care, Alex Lozowski, Semesa Rokoduguni

    Interesting to see Slade given a go at 12, he's been playing either 10 or 13 for his club, though I see him more as a 12. Seems Eddie does too. Mike Brown perhaps a bit lucky to be starting as he seems to have lost a little pace but has a acquired a reluctance to pass. Still a safe option at 15 though.

    @sapetyvi Eddie has stated that he wanted to rest some of the Lions, so I'm guessing that's the gig with those two. I'd expect them to be back in the mix for the Aussie game.

    Ireland side for SA.

    Henshaw at 13 and Conway and Stockdale starting on the wings is the most pleasing thing. Aki inclusion, less said the better. Pleased for Sweetnam to make the backs bench along with the improving James Ryan. Schmidt developing the stocks nicely. Ruddock very unlucky to miss out to POM on the blind - he’s been superb for Leinster so far this season.

    15 Rob Kearney (UCD/Leinster) 76 caps
    14 Andrew Conway (Garryowen/Munster) 3 caps
    13 Robbie Henshaw (Buccaneers/Leinster) 29 caps
    12 Bundee Aki (Galwegians/Connacht)*
    11 Jacob Stockdale (Ballynahinch/Ulster) 2 caps
    10 Johnny Sexton (St Mary's College/Leinster) 66 caps
    9 Conor Murray (Garryowen/Munster) 57 caps

    1 Cian Healy (Clontarf/Leinster) 70 caps
    2 Rory Best (c) (Banbridge/Ulster) c 104 caps
    3 Tadhg Furlong (Clontarf/Leinster) 16 caps
    4 Iain Henderson (Ballynahinch/Ulster) 32 caps
    5 Devin Toner (Lansdowne/Leinster) 50 caps
    6 Peter O'Mahony (Cork Constitution/Munster) 40 caps
    7 Sean O'Brien (UCD/Leinster) 49 caps
    8 CJ Stander (Shannon/Munster) 15 caps

    Replacements
    16. Rob Herring (Ballynahinch/Ulster) 1 cap
    17. Dave Kilcoyne (UL Bohemians/Munster) 20 caps
    18. John Ryan (Cork Constitution/Munster) 9 caps
    19. James Ryan (UCD/Leinster) 2 caps
    20. Rhys Ruddock (St Mary's College/Leinster) 16 caps
    21. Kieran Marmion (Corinthians/Connacht) 16 caps
