[booboo]

@mikethesnow no Kolisi?

[KiwiMurph]

@booboo Boks named two captains. One for the Wales test and one for the series v England.

[booboo]

@kiwimurph ah. Gotcha. So this is Bokke A?

Yep, and Wales A.

[Machpants]

B really!

[Derm McCrum]

Ireland with a last minute drop goal after 73 phases.

Argentina - cos they need to get their big win - outside of a RWC - just in case we meet the bogey fuckers again in Japan.

France - because I met a French woman once. And besides I’ve gone off Kiwis ever since Smith flapped his hands under the dryer in a disabled toilet and Tana’s “apology”....

SA with a last minute try in the first half and three in the second and watching Eddie J getting wound tighter and tighter.

[booboo]

@Pot-Hale 's comment re Eddie reminds me almost makes me want Ireland to win for similar reasons, ie just because Cheika. Actually, no fuck Ireland, it almost makes me want Aussie not win ...

But then reality kicks in and the resulting Oirish chippiness outweighs the pleasure of a Cheika meltdown. And living here you realise Aus rugby needs a boost.

South Africa. Easy decision.

Wales. Not sure why.

Chippiness?

Outrageous.

[Catogrande]

@pot-hale Get used to it PH. You're the threat now, so it comes with the territory.

[pukunui]

Ireland because fuck Australia and the clown

SA because fuck England and Eddie jones

Wales because fuck the Argies football antics

ABs by lots because i want a statement

[antipodean]

Ireland and Australia to play a nil all draw for three games. Actually the game here needs all the help it can get. So Wallabies by a million.
South Africa because they need a boost and

Yeah.

Wales because fuck the Argies football antics

Yeah. Sanchez and his diving is pissing me right off.

ABs but only just so they learn some hard lessons and DMac gets dumped from the squad for throwing intercepts when he's not passing to no one.

Someone has lost money with the hosting of this game in the US

[Crucial]

So far the Wales v SA game is doing nothing to sell rugby to the US. Endless scrum resets and free kicks being taken as scrums. The ref needs to understand that there is an element of exhibition and sort this shite out.

[Crucial]

In fact, it is such turgid shite that you’d think it was England playing themselves.

[PN]

Absolute dross being served up here. Actually damaging rugby's image.

[Louis]

Wales may have scored the winning try near full time!

[KiwiMurph]

@louis What a horror debut for Du Preez the Sharks 10. Charged down twice in a row to lose the game.

[Louis]

@kiwimurph That last one for the try wasn't great. He was really casual.
Not a great game, but both teams had a cobbled together appearance about them. 3 in a row for Wales vs the Boks now.
