How do these CEO types get these high paying jobs and what exactly is it that they do? Because that was just a bunch of made-up bullshit and waffle. I really don't think many fans "expect" them to make the final. We're not that arrogant, especially considering how shit they've performed over the pa...

I wonder what Gorgodze is like in person? Probably a full on psycho.

He just has the air of someone who would split your head open for looking at him wrong. But I dunno. Maybe he's a gentleman.

I agree, Journalists are not pad per-se, although it's true some of them can be f-cking morons or very unscrupulous, many of them are very honest and hard working.

Looks like shit. Weird, jerky and robotic. Although fair play to them it must be difficult to make a video game out of a sport so complex.

Pay TV is shit because it destroys the game for it's own private profit.

That's kind of amusing and disturbing. Even more amusing and disturbing is everyone in the comments section thinks he is Australian.

Fox sports are reporting that Poey will start at 6 vs Fiji :lol: Well it is Cheika afterall. His gameplan is probably to kick it to their backs in broken play, keep the game loosely structured and instinctual and beat them with sheer pace and athletic ability.

I'd always strap up my wrists pretty heavily and used electrical tape to hold my socks up. Always used to ensure my shirt was tucked in to my shorts too until they started making them too small to tuck in. Want to look respectable out there.

It's a tough call, but if I can only pick one, I'm going to pick England, based solely on form of all sides going in.

So England for me.

Mog The Almighty

... snip ... BTW, r.e. line-outs, the height of the lifters makes a big difference too. Almost an equal difference as the height of the jumper. Having short players in the set piece effects the whole setup regardless as to whether they're actually jumping or not. Height is only part of the story fo...

If Hopper is 100 kg (which I reckon he is), Pocock is easily 110 kg now. He's a massive unit. Having said that, I reckon Pooper is good for Wales. Probably not any other team we're likely to face. :lol: Not a chance. To put it in perspective, Arnold Schwarzenegger weighed 107kg at 6'2" in competiti...

Mog The Almighty

My point about the Welsh flankers is that they're both pilferers and highly mobile. They play similar to Pooper. Navidi is about the same size as Pocock with Tipuric bigger then all and Hooper smallest. Although I am reckon Hooper is better than all. The problem Pooper in the past was that the othe...

how is that? They play with two 6ft flankers under 100kg?

You're being pretty generous with that 6ft shit. Other than that I agree with you.

@Zakar: it's way more than just the lineouts. I already wrote a paragraph on that you either missed or are ignoring.

Argentina are ranked 11 in the world. One place above Georgia and below Fiji and Japan. Firmly tier 2. Those world rankings are f-cking useless. We all know that. The #1 spot is being juggled between Ireland and Wales. Look at the points, not the positions. No-one was complaining back in May when t...

Mog The Almighty

I think you've both missed my points. Also Savea is a shit load bigger than "some hair" than Hooper. He's at-least 2 inches taller. There's a big difference between 5'11 and 6'1. Savea is actually listed as even taller than that, I just don't buy it. In any case the difference is plain to see in the...

Wales play a Pooper style backrow. So do the kiwis. Neither of them do. Savea is the smallest back-rower in both teams and he's a monster compared to Pooper. https://newsatnewscorpau.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/2019-08-10-20_34_40-wallabies-v-all-blacks-_-match-centre-_-kayo-sports.jpg?w=600 In Aus...

Bring back Pooper? It's less of a concern lineout wise these days, if you compare who we had ... It's never, ever worked. Going right back to the days of playing Smith & Waugh. Having two short, small forwards is just too much of liability across the rest of the game, no matter how much heart they ...

Has to be England. They have the two most capable challengers in France and Argentina whereas the other pools show a bit of distance after the likely top two. Any of France, England or Argentina really. Tough pool, I'm expecting Argentina to put on a decent show, they have a pretty well rounded gam...

Why do people rate Fiji so much? Beating France in the autumn was funny as fudge, but not a meaningful yardstick because it's bloody France and the old cliché is still true. Scotland battered them beforehand and since then the only somewhat meaningful game they've played was against Japan which the...

I would be neither surprised to see them crash out in spectacular fashion, nor go all the way to the final. I'd be pretty shocked to see them win it though. I must say I almost hope they don't.

Wales aren't going to lose to Fiji, FFS. They might give it a rattle and score some good tries, but Wales are far too controlling and put huge pressure on the opposition. Dude, Fiji are pretty damn good (for second tier standards). I think you're underestimating them. Not that the IRB rankings mean...
