@Machpants Hopefully they will have 50 or 60 fps broadcasts by then, but I wouldn't count on it ...

Rapido

The Chilean 10, Fernandez, looks a fantastic talent.

Also this from game 1, at 7:02:
(I can't get it to auto-start at correct point in video ...)

@Rapido Ah, that's from the first game of the qualifiers in Chile. Horrendous weather, terrible field.

Bones

@Rapido he very much reminds me of David Havili...

Chile could be the Ivory Coast of 2023.

They made the 1995 WC and went from strength to strength.

@MN5 Coat Devour, bigot.

They kept a rampaging Scottish side to only 89 points it must be said.

All todays ABs can only fream on a silver medal, they won't get anything but an ealry exit. Fat useles fluffybunny foster will be in charge, early exit on the cards.

@voodoo yeah he played with a bit of old school edginess. That is a great video because it shows how emotional this game can be (look at the responses in this joint over the last 4 days 😉).

Emotional enough to want to throw a ‘consolation’ prize away, but equally emotional to have gratitude when it comes back!

He seems to be polar opposite from his playing days. I could easily watch it without getting dusty, cos I remember him being a right twat. But cool to see he's now rather humble and has humility.

@Bones no doubt I always wanted one of the ABs to deck him, but I met him at a couple of Brumbies functions back around 2010 I think and he actually was compete opposite to that punchable egg guy on the field. Liked a beer or three too!

MN5

Remember Austin Healy calling him a plank back in the day ? That was amusing ( to my great disappointment Healy is actually quite a likeable funny guy when interviewed )

I also remember a pretty good punch up with Filipo Levi, I think both guys got sent off for that one.
