    @Machpants If you look closely it's actually animated slightly. Pretty cool though.

    It came from the RWC Facebook page.

    A really interesting video on how many foreign born players are in each squad at RWC.

    here is a screengrab showing the total number of players born in a country that are representing another country at RWC. Shows just how many players the NZ conveyor belt produces.

    Do you swap out an eagle for another giraffe when Jordie is playing?

    Yeah. One of the flankers should have been a Puma or Panther.

    The halfback, looks like one of those monkeys with a shiny red bum. Seems fine to me:face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

    Some teams could easily swap out the monkey for a meerkat.

    It's called a baboon mate, the ones that look like they have a prolapsed anus. I'm not sure a baboon is the right animal. HBs are generally quite small, yap a lot and are often a pain in the arse. Chihuahua? Or a Jack Russell terrier

    There has been a bit of chat here and on social media about the turnaround time for Fiji affecting their performance against Uruguay. I did the quick figures (I sit to be corrected) based on the 3 intervals:

    MIN() turnaround days in pool stage:
    4-day (13): Argentina, England, Fiji, France, Georgia, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, Scotland, South Africa, Uruguay, USA, Wales
    5-day (4): Canada, Ireland, Namibia, Samoa
    6-day (2): Aust, Tonga
    7-day (1): Japan

    MAX() turnaround days in pool stage:
    11-day (2): France, New Zealand
    10-day (1): Wales
    9-day (4): England, Ireland, Russia, Scotland
    8-day (8): Aust, Fiji, Georgia, Italy, Japan, Namibia, Tonga, Uruguay
    7-day (4): Argentina, Samoa, South Africa, USA
    6-day (1): Canada

    AVG() turnaround days in pool stage (rounded):
    8-day (1): Japan
    7-day (9): France, New Zealand, Scotland, Tonga, Australia, England, Ireland, Italy, Wales
    6-day (10): Namibia, Russia, Argentina, Fiji, Georgia, Samoa, Uruguay, Canada, South Africa, USA

    Tough pool for Canada and a tough draw to boot.

    Could really say the Wallabies have the best draw with minimum 6 day turnaround, maximum 8, and average 7.

    Good to see World Rugby following through on their promise not to see the minnows disadvantaged....
