    @frugby I'd be happy with Pierce.

    Don't forget Raynal. Joël Jutge might make a hometown decision.

    Uncle Mat (I like the colloquial name after he gifted us the win last year)... Barnes is on track for the final, lets be fair. Chances are NZ will get him semis and final (if we get there).

    I think the English boys are probably out the running because Barnes will get one won't he...

    Down to O'Keeffe, Raynal, Amashukeli and the two Aussies for SA v ENG.

    • The latter two have dropped right out the running I think
    • IMO, if Raynal gets it, then it should be BOK, because I do think he largely did a pretty good job in what was a bloody tough game to officiate this morning. Also think it is a fair clue the fact he did that game suggests he is ahead in the pecking order, because Barnes could have done that game, and we could have had Raynal/Peyper
    • Georgian boy is the major wild card, but I can't see it

    The more interesting one would be who does the final if Peyper is injured, and it is NZ v England... by reckoning, you are down to Raynal, Amashukeli and the Aussies, and that would make for an absolute lottery.

    Oddly enough England is now the only unbeaten team in this RWC...

    England: Farrell
    Ireland: Sexton
    Wales: Biggar

    Is it preferable to be a massively unlikelable fluffybunny to play 10 in the British Isles?

    I get the first two, but I've never found Biggar to be on the same level, have I missed something?

    Is that enough? Some well loved ABs of the past would meet that criteria.

    I know it’s easy to forget Scotland but Finn Russell has been known to be difficult too.

    Contrast that with DC, Beaver, Beaudy etc who you’d happily buy a beer for at the pub

    It is hilarious to me that England is now the great hope of the NH.

    I'm genuinely surprised that it seems a few people think England have a hope against SA.

    They 100% genuinely, really, don't. Not a sliver.

    @Bones

    Good points. Maybe some consistency in guidelines used by the Ref's as well to make their job easier/better. Changing guidelines every 2-3 games doesn't help.
