We only really miss Morgan (and not much because Binny is almost as effective although very different) and Launchbury. While JL would improve our pack by quite a bit I think our injuries are being overblown. Farrell, Tuilagi, Barritt won't get back in this side. If Corbs can get back to his form of a couple of years ago that will be a boost but he needs time and Marler has done a good job this last year.

Yay England doesn't win

Well lads, hangover central here.
That was the most exciting day of rugby i have ever seen, and all concerned can hold their heads high. To be honest if it had worked out another way and we didn't win the championship there is no way i could have begrudged England or Wales. All 3 performances were extraordinary.

I would start hoping New Zealand win the world cup now Ding haha. What an amazing job he has done at Ireland.

Highlight for me was Debaty finishing off a 60 metre move. The most bonkers thing about a thoroughly bonkers day.

But don't start me on Scottish defence work, especially Cowan. If you're going to miss that many tackles, you really shouldn't be wearing a white hat to highlight it.

Ding you won the superbru comp mate, well done

Rkw

And yours truly won the customary wooden spoon.

better luck in the World Cup predictor?

That's easy. Blacks will beat the Saffers in the final by 11 points.

If they win their respective groups, they meet in the semi-final

Demus

I suppose that was planned to give England their only possible route to the final.

Should be Scotland > Ireland > NZ if we win our group. Lot of ifs there ^^ If Scotland can see off Samoa being the main doubt <3

Samoa v Scotland is the last Pool game too

Guys

After the 6n, can't seeus beating Samoa. The Shermans will probably fancy their chances as well.

England have a horrible group to be fair.

Will be a cracking pool I reckon, A. England with Australia and Wales...

Easy Ding

Cracking for everyone else hahaha. But is that group a result of wales dropping out of the top 8 in the world when the groups were drawn?

yes

Anybody know the story with the resale tickets avaiable on Tuesday.

I really don't believe that Scotland v USA has sold out a 38000 stadium.

where they belong!

I guess people not selecting the option to find alternate games. Me and my friend both went for every England game on route to the potential final, we both got nothing. Too much corporate nonsense and touts ruin it.

Well, as Rab C. Nesbit might say, "What a load of keech that was".

Been back on the RWC ticket site and I'm still being told I can't buy anything for Scotland v USA. Not saying it's sold out, just not available. Of the group games, it's saying that only England v Wales and England v Australia are sold out. No surprise there, but if the rest aren't sold out, why are they not available?



Ding, you can go and watch Ireland play Romania if you want to spend at least £125 on a ticket.
