Game on! This could be bets game of the world cup. What's the injury status with you guys? I want no damn excuses (Aussies like to whinge a little to much hehehehe).
Yo Red!
Whinging poms... well... i got nothing other than...
*Folau been ousted for tweeting by goth kiwi ceo of ARU and Irish CEO of Qantas who likes people of his own gender.
*We have had 23 combos @ 9/10 in 50 games....lol... one thing all RWC winners have had is solid world class fly half... Aussies dont even know whos going to play there.
*Tied in with above... Aussies will kick 50/50 penalty / conversions... cant even remember the last time the aussies kicked a drop goal... since 99??
*EJ got the mental edge on our emotional Cheika...
*Hooper / Pocock combo is not effective - coach needs to make big call and bring Hooper off the bench and start Pocock... wont happen because Hooper the captain...
*other than these... wallabies set piece no longer a joke - will win line outs and scrums 50/50 -
*Peyper is not aussie favoured ref - the ABs like him against us and he never gives any calls the wallabies way - likely will favour poms
*IF aussies backs can develop some ball handling skills like the japanese in the next 6 days - then we could put 40pts v any team in world rugby...
I am a realist and I think reality is Poms have got 80-90% chance of beating this aussie team...
On saying all this - I will still be extremely one-eyed passionate gold supporter yelling at the tv come match day...
For me the pain is less if I at least go into the match knowing the aussies are rank outsiders... then... IF they show up like in PERTH - look out!!!!!!!
hey come at me pom - noticed EJ recruited a league coach ex wallaby to come and help the poms thi week... Cheika getting all fiesty about it too... lol...
EJ got it all over Cheika... sadly... I think poms pretty safe money in this game buut aussies will be in it till 75min makr or so...
Cheika needs to get a grip... on his own damn team. The little fella has a massive inferiority complex pep versus klopp kinda stuff. This'll probably be the best game so far so I can't wait! May the better team win and mat the ref do his job.
Cheikas all heart and you cant knock him for that... Passion in rugby is something that is needed in this country unfortunately the political correct gen Y brigade are way too soft and spoilt... So in that sense I have no issues with Cheika being like he is...
I think pom team on balance has it all over the field - but this aussie team are very much an enigma ... I dont think they have won more than 3games in a row for a very long time... so dont think they are WC candidates but will hopefully give the english a good run...
Hopefully too refs are not even mentioned and only the rugby... will be a cracker no doubt... as will the next game following - Ire v Nz
