GAD

Romanian national anthem is class. That's some proper soviet shit

Fiji are playing Georgia about as badly as you possibly can. They must be delighted at all these shite offloads.

Another brutal refereeing performance as well. A petulant, seething mess of a guy who seemed determined to give everything the wrong way just because he could.

Magennis, Kennedy and Armstrong three if the more underated players in the league right now, (Armstrong maybe not so much these days). On paper Killie have a strong team. Not confident about this one.

That wasn't a try for Italy at the end.

The Samoan players were so intent on making a "big hit" on the Japan player they forgot the actual aim of the tackle is to bring him down.

Hibs were good in the second half, fully deserved the win, hope they go on and win the whole thing.

Hibs have been really good this half, got to credit them, some turnaround

Was Gogic properly useless for Hibs? Always find it so surprising he was a flop there, he seems like exactly the kind of player they need.

It'll be interesting to see who we pick against Romania. I think we need to pick a team that can aim to score 80-100 points, (and not concede many) which will be very difficult. However, I think the team I'd pick to do that isn't necessarily our best team. Can see a pack of Bhatti, Ashman, Fagerson, Cummings, Skinner, Watson, M.Fagerson and Dempsey starting, with Horne, Russell, Redpath, Jones, Graham, DVM and Kinghorn. Lots of big carriers up front, who should still be able to deliver a functional set piece against Romania, then two playmakers surrounded by loads of line breakers and pace in the backs.

I mean, I genuinely would have thought my post there was about as obvious a piss take as it's possible to get, but I suppose tone can be difficult in the written word.

We need to beat Ireland by 8 points, or maybe Tonga will get that big upset everyone has been telling us they would get against one of the big teams. Although, I think when everyone said that they meant us, not South Africa.

Ha ha, wonder how he's getting on?

Meant to say 40+

Wonder how negative they will be after this Eddie?

Australia doing nothing right. They are badly set up everywhere, even that try, how can you have nobody back there? Where was the fullback?

They only give those against T2 nations and occasionally Scotland/Italy.

Were Australia this bad under Rennie? They look incapable of doing anything here.

Wales are going to win this comfortably. 20+ points I reckon.

The Australian 10 is actually what all the English rugby dads accuse Russell of being. He's a complete liability yet looks Aussies best chance of doing something.

Romania will be the B-ish team and we will win by 50+. I can see all the guys who haven't played yet starting that one. It doesn't really matter how much we score, just that we get the BP, which we will.

Damn right.

Yeah. Even reading the BBC or twitter and you'd think we scraped it and we're lucky to get anything. We won 45-17 against a team that would probably best Wales.

It's funny how we've just won by miles against a team every English rugby dad told you were "targeting Scotland" and somehow it's still a bit deflating because you know what we have to beat to progress. This world cup draw is actually, very unfairly, not allowing anyone to appreciate just how good this team are, because it's just not as good as Ireland and SA.

They are backchatting because you are having another nightmare Karl.
