@booboo Very magnanimous.

I've been waiting nearly 20 yeas to say that on here

That's very magnanimous of you for dedicating nearly 20 years of your life on an internet forum waiting for justification to say "Very magnanimous"...

There are other reasons to spend time Ferning. For instance trying to ascertain how many times @MN5 can post the same meme or waiting for that elusive post from @Tim that everyone can understand.

There's lots on here really.

Sometimes people miss them the first time

Fixed

@MiketheSnow

I'd think that's pretty close if not spot on. Something of a contradiction though. 2 initial non-selections and then 2 "always going to be there despite being injured and not having any game time".

All a bit muddled for me.

[MiketheSnow]

I think I would have been inclined to let this match go and focus on the other two matches to secure a place in the QF

Playing unfit / not match fit players against your toughest opponent could come back to haunt Borthwick

[Bones]

Looking forward to seeing how Steward goes at LH, that height may be a hindrance.

The game will hinge on Cole at flyhalf though, will he bring his A game?

great first weekend. Us and the Frogs. Boks v Scots, and this game.

And Wales v Fiji should be a cracker I reckon.

Argies have played some pretty good footy, the problem is that it generally lasts about 20-40 minutes over the 80. They have a good core of players with a couple of quick outsides and some experience.

This version of Cheika-ball puts a lot of pressure on the 8-9-10 controlling the attack. Less of a pod system and more conventional attack.

@Machpants

Yeah I think he’s got a niggle. Hamstring maybe?

[Mackerzzzz]

If that choir is going to sing every national anthem this world cup it's gonna really piss me off by the end

[African Monkey]

Could be red for Curry.

[Billy Tell]

YC for a complete accident. Even my daughter said so.

[MiketheSnow]

That should be upgraded

[Stargazer]

Surely there will be enough mititgation to NOT have it upgraded? Although ... he could have foreseen that the player would change height, so maybe you can't call it sudden?

[Stargazer]

Ugghh, another TMO review. More minutes of stoppage.

[African Monkey]

Could be 2 reds now if Carreras gets upgraded to red.

[Stargazer]

Now that's really stupid. Another card.

Both were so avoidable.
