    The way this RWC, especially this pool is twisting and turning I reckon England could beat Aus, Aus beat Wales, it comes down to bonus points and England somehow top the group. Get Scotland in the quarters and are so knackered/relieved after getting out of the Pool then lose a tight game to the Scots!! Finally revenge for the Hastings miss!

    Yeah after those 2 injuries during the week I would pick England to win now. Before that I reckon Aussie would have taken it out.

    Lol that's quality, let's make them so bored they mentally won't turn up on Saturday

    I actually still have that game.

    I can remember playing that back in 98, "burrowing like a demented mole", still the best rugby game I've played.

    Are Mitchell and Giteau thinking that this is the only chance that Aus will make it to the final??

    I think the leaks come from people watching them train. Last week we lined up doing drills with that backline and so speculation began from there. Gun that Joseph's back though... Big Sam can actually provide something from the bench.

    My money is on England to take this match. Based solely on Joseph playing. I think he will free up your outside three. And Burgess coming on with 15 minutes left will wreak some havoc.

    Fingers crossed for Wales. Fiji are the sort of banana skin that Wales have big problems with at world cups, so I'm feeling a little pessimistic about the prospects.

    Yeah I'm getting up for it. I do think England will beat Aus now tbh. I want Aussie to win but you'd tip the English to do the job. Should be an absolute cracker.

    Come on Fiji, lets really mess this group up!

    English fans would like that wouldn't they. I dunno Fiji missing Nadolo is huge.

    I live in London and still have a PS1 with Jonah Lomu Rugby. Maybe I'll get in touch.

    England team

    Marler, Youngs, Cole, Parling, Launchberry, Wood, Robshaw, Morgan, Youngs, Farrell, May, Barrett, Joseph, Watson, Brown

    Vunipola, Webber, Brookes, Kruis, Easter, Wigglesworth, Ford, Burgess

    Horrendous unbalanced bench
     
  16. cloughie09 TJ Clough

    It's still a good team, unbalanced bench but working with what we have, although why the hell is Barrett still playing
     
  17. Madness B Morganpola

    So if we lose a winger or fullback, thats JJ to wing, Barrett to 13 and Burgess to 12! That went well last time
     
  18. Baxter MJ Deane

    Ford to 10, Farrell to 12

    FMD . You can't win a World Cup with a slow old cart horse at 7. Even his brain is slow.
