Two reds though
Yeah, he does nothing in half-measures.

It’s interesting that the three teams yet to pick up a card in the tournament are the three best ones.

Two immense quarter finals, and two of no relevance other than who the major 4 teams beat

Quite a few WC players in action this weekend in England.

Wonder when we’ll get Stu and Rob back?

Their arms will be sore from holding the tackle bags no doubt.

Fancy they will beat us based on their centres outperforming ours, whether it is Bundee getting a card or well timed passes sending their players through
They've had very soft opposition in the 5 weeks since the opener. This has been their undoing in previous world cups.

Wales are dung. Get them, Italy and the scotch out of the 6N. Bring in NZ, SA and Fiji.

If they award it now, he is.

He’d no right to score from there.

Rob Herring is a very underrated player. Kelleher and Sheehan couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo

A real soft edge to this NZ side. They're vulnerable in defence.

Yep - worth a spot on the bench at least.
