Pre-RWC test matches
-
@Daffy-Jaffy Only Pieter Steph surviving in the starting line-up - but three more on the bench.
2015 edition looks a bit stronger to me. Mainly in the halves.... and less old men.
-
Wales team to face Ireland at Landsdowne Road this Saturday named
Pretty much working out who are the starters and who are the finishers come the WC
-
Ooh we've got a proper Test on our hands.
-
England 9 - 0 Italy
Half-timeShitter than shit
-
@MiketheSnow yeah England may well knock some big names out of the cup but recently they are so inconsistent.
Not that the ABs are better

@sparky said in Pre-RWC test matches:
England won 37-0 scoring 4 tries.
England will make the Semi finals at least in Japan, Italy won't get out of Group B.
Will fall at the QF stage

6N took down 20 odd videos from squidge rugby and filed copyright...!
I finally got round to watching a few of his videos this week, was going quite swimmingly and then got to the OZ video and he called Pocock the best player in the world. I've reported him to YouTube.

It's good - but like GAGR videos, sometimes says things with a lot of authority and arrows and things that may not be totally correct. Entertaining, though, and I do enjoy them
-
@nzzp Yeah, they're good, but he goes a bit overboard romanticising the PI teams and doesn't seem to be aware that many of their players don't grow up in the villages on the islands. He kept saying that the full Samoa is playing now which annoyed me for no good reason.
-
@Nepia that was a joke, when Wales lost to Western Samoa the first time, in the UK the big joke was 'thank God we were only playing half of Samoa, otherwise it would have been a slaughter' and he carries that joke on.
It was a huge shock in the UK, like Japan beating boks level shock

I know the joke, and I would have agreed with you after the first time, then he said it enough times more that made me think he didn't realise there were still 'two' Samoa's.

@Nepia Not my impression, does seem like some one who does a lot of research. But I could be wrong
Clearly this doesn't involve watching players other than Pocock.
Obviously I jest, I'll try watch all his country vids before the RWC starts.
