Who are we fancying for top try scorer?
Im thinking Telea or Jordan or Penaud.
SouthAfricanScottish gun Duhan Van Der Merwe is a good shout. 20 in 31 tests so far.Scottish pool might be a bit tough to have a top try scorer come out of it.

What's all this about then?
(livestream on Stuff starts at 5.45am, kickoff at 7.15am)
... this looks like actual coverage of the game, but... how have I not heard about this before? Is it just because I'm a hermit, or... am I misinterpreting this?
Edit:
A dedicated multimedia hub located on Stuff features 12 streamed games, including live coverage of the opening match between the All Blacks and France, two quarterfinals, a semifinal and the RWC final, ...
... and all the AB pool matches delayed.
But - they seem to be keeping it remarkably quiet - presumably as part of the deal with Sky. -

I must I am very impressed with Stan’s rugby options. The back catalogue of content is great, can’t really recall an error or problem with the steaming function or the app itself.
Yeah, I think I've had maybe two errors, contrast that with Kayo which is freaking terrible. I don't think I've watched a Warriors match that hasn't dropped down to 480p at some time, glitched, bounced back a few seconds etc.

Games will indeed be livestreamed on the Stuff website, in addition to their live blogs.

And Foxtel want you to be grateful to the point of you licking Uncle Rupert's wrinkly old taint.

Even Fozzie's flops should be able to escape this pool, surely?
I don’t see Namibia or Uruguay causing the ABs many problems, but if they play as poorly against Italy as they have done in the last two games then they could plummet out of the tournament at the end of pool play.
