@booboo so the best you can say is he's infused them with a sense of persecution.

Not sure he's developed an overwhelmingly positive environment.

I would take Coleman on the bench rather than two loosies.

Australia were very impressive in the 2nd half against Wales when To'omua took the ball to the line and they used Rodha, Arnold/Coleman, Naisarani and co as ball-runners. If the forwards put in a similar performance and they can play at the same tempo Australia has the game to beat England.

Awesome - my daughter's birthday party coincides exactly with this game. Wonder how good the wifi is at the local bowling alley?

[Bovidae]

Cheika is consistent about not analysing the opposition.

Is pretty much the way i would go. Maybe Tongan Thor on the bench because he does add punch.

[antipodean]

A lot of Australians are very pessimistic about this.

@mariner4life I would have thought Salakaia-Loto would have lost any chance of starting after Bledisloe 2.

Nah - the problem with food poisoning is you use it as a crutch to explain poor performance roughly forever.

England and Australia get Garces as ref.

@antipodean plus his compatriots as ARs and Skeeny as TMO....

Good luck Aussie.

If a match is going to end in controversy it could easily be this one.

It suits England’s tabloids more for them to be shafted.

[TeWaio]

Really want Aussie to get up for this one Perth-style, think England will be a tough SF opponent (if we beat Ire) if they're high on confidence from winning well.
