100% record!

I'd say "100% against South American opposition" but... well...

Well done on scraping past a 14-strong Portugal, you rampant well-disciplined Aussie conquistadors!

Considering we did it with 13 at one point, I'll take that

Has anyone seen Schmidt and Foster speak to, or even look at, each other? In the coaches box Foster always turns left for comment, with Ryan.
It is almost as if Schmidt has had enough of being subordinate to a weak fool.
Can’t wait for the memoir.
