Very few weaknesses. I hadn't really considered the Chiefs as a serious contender this year, but of course they are. IMO they have the squad to win the comp. The two big unknowns are; 1. How well Gatland connects with the Chiefs' large cohort of PI and Maori players. 2. How well Aaron Cruden adjust...

Harden up!!!

Good set of backs but they won't be allowed to pass the ball unless they're playing under advantage. Gatland is a smart coach. I would expect the Chiefs to play very different to how Wales played under him. He's got some of the most creative attacking players in the world in McKenzie, Cruden, Weber...

Harden up!!!

I'll be attending the first 2 games - that'll ruin it for them. I'm actually suspicious of the Chiefs, in terms of their compliance with the salary cap. How can they afford Aaron Cruden without having to lose any of their stars? Aaron Cruden has been earning over a million NZD a year in France, you...

It doesn't matter what the facts are. Facts are useless. You have the RFS Commissioner (guy in charge of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service) coming out saying hazard reduction isn't the solution and that there is no Green-led conspiracy but that doesn't stop the right wing commentators running ...

they have little green men and we have hobbits? yeah there is a lot in common, we just have more brown people here.

isn't NZ in general better at sports? Rugby world cups, Olympics, Sailing, americas cup.

Hardly You don't think a large part of your national identity is defining yourselves against the English? As opposed to many nzders who define themselves as more English than the English. Funnily enough the Mick’s and Kiwis have a fair bit in common... Anyhoo back to the subject. As a Royalist I be...

30 years + old, married, finally decides to move out of grandma's/uk taxpayers basement and attempt to be *financially* independent.

To be fair if my granny had a basement like that I would never leave.

Harden up!!!

quarter way through the season and the chiefs will be playing their 3rd string side again as usual. Waikato climate now changes your bones into mush, or something,has to be the water right? No swimming allowed in the waikato?

Harden up!!!

OK, Scotland did have to qualify in 99. The only automatic places were: France (Third place) New Zealand (Runner-up) South Africa (Champion) Wales (Host) Obviously all changed (and rightly so) since then. Ok that explains it, id did not realize it was only the top three and host who qualified back ...

if Scotland aren't careful they will have to qualify for the next world cup!! I think Scotland are the only home nation that has never had to qualify for a world cup. wait, england, ireland and wales have had to qualify for a world cup? Yep Wales for the 95 world cup. England for 99 and Ireland for...

That would be Faf and Handre.

the former probably a bit too much.

Yeah we need to have LSL at 6, Hooper at 7 and Isi at 8. Thats a balanced backrow and one we should be running with Pooper is not balanced. Put pocock on bench as cover? Though to be fair isn't there a lot expected of him, after coming back, from such a long, long time off? Maybe should of played h...

Harden up!!!

Wales played much more of a running game than I'm used to. Glad I have a ten day turnaround to recover now. Yes, was noticeable how much more they moved it wide and much earlier than usual. I presume it’s down to years of Gatland but the Welsh are also noticeable better at the basics than any other...

Fiji to tip Wales over. I don’t think this will happen, but I still think Fiji have one big game in them. Beating Georgia wouldn’t do much to make up for losing to Uruguay, but beating Wales would. Realistically, they know they won’t qualify, so they may target this game as their shot at redemption...

Pocock: 9 carries for 3m. 10 tackles, 2 missed. Don't remember him stealing / slowing much ball. Gave an offload for a try, but that's pretty much the entirety of his impact. Hooper: 13 carries for 39m. Tried really hard in attack. Unfortunately that also came with giving the ball away 4 times and ...

Is the Blade Thompson who plays for scotland in anyway related to the Kane Thompson who played for Manu samoa? Both where born in NZ. No, cause it's Blade Thomson with no P.

Well, that was a tight one! Cracker of a game, but I do wish we could get through one game in this tournament withuut at least one dodgy ref call. Cheika will be having a coronary! Nothing between the teams, to be fair. Could have gone either way, but I think the Aussies were a little hard done by....

kerevis ball security is not the best for an inside center, all his x-factor tackle busting aside.

good win wales.

whats the point of the ref yelling use it, then you wait 10 seconds then pass it?

Harden up!!!

wales going to go drop goal if they do not get a penalty? or just grind it to eat clock and get a penalty?

thats a risk when you run across the field then throw a flat pass.

when they do that, then try and move the ball they look good, but when they try do stuff like fiji did against uruguay thats when they come unstuck.
