Also, I'm in the Qantas lounge waiting for a flight which is 2hrs (and counting) delayed - is there any line they draw on drunkenness for a flight to Bali or am I sweet to carry on?

someone ban these two degenerates
I'm still pissed about Cane being omitted for a journeyman like Red Barrett
I am too. But I was also in the camp that 6 months ago said that Read was a shade of his former self and was in trouble. Then I doubled down by saying that they might try the Richie/BB switch to end games but there was no way they'd start that way.
So I'm prepared to trust these guys. As our great leader Hanson said, "I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians".
Or something like that anyway.

For the love of god, stop quoting that picture.
It's almost like you had that one at the ready and just waiting for an excuse to share
It's impressive he remembered to link it from the Dailymail and not his hard drive.

With no Cane, Read will likely spend more time on the back of the scrum than in the previous RWC games.
We can still run Ardie at no8 on attacking scrums.

But that means Read is at openside from those scrums. They might be better to have Ardie running off Read's shoulder. I'm sure the ABs will mix it up.

Although he’ll want to delete those two pics from his phone. How would you explain taking a photo of Helen Clark on holiday?

@Hooroo if they aspire to be great journos they certainly should be reading the fern, such a diverse range of rugby fans of all ages, bias' and allegiances, this IS the place to get your analysis from, if you ignore the likes of us on here, then you may as well turn to clickbaiting!!
To be fair, it is much better in here now that a few of the morons are gone.
Bold words

Sitting in a bar in Balian, Bali, it was great listening to comments after we killed the Paddies.
Mainly along the lines of "geez they'll be bloody hard to beat", and mainly from Aussies. It's funny I was sitting there thinking the same about the Poms after they'd dismantled the wreck that is Aussie rugby.
I'm still slightly kaking my Saks for this weekend's game, but then I was worried as fuck about the Irish, so go figure!
But if our fatties can play as well as that again, we should be fine, being it on I say.
Sam Cane, a defensive rock to come on at half or just after, Barrett to bench or replace one of the locks...?
I'm happy with team.

Dunno what happened here, but given that it's a world cup semi final, the way it's been derailed is genuinely worthy of commendation.
Back to the team:
I remember Jones first press conference as England boss, and it was about THIS game. It was about the All Blacks in the world cup. His words were all about ensuring don't get sucked into the AB game, play the England game and that is what gives the best opportunity.
Isn't switching Cane for Barrett, i.e - upping our size, us playing the England game plan?
Something to mull over.
