    I have elected him as scape goat for that play. He hasn't had enough rugby to play 80 minutes.

    The Wales result would make Australia a bit nervous wouldn't it?

    Indeed what are the permutations from here?

    If Wales can get a bonus point vs Fiji then they are through

    Australia can guarantee they go through by beating England.

    If they lose to England but beat Wales - it will come down to Wales vs Fiji.

    So Australia fucked it a bit by no bonus point over Fiji?

    If that's the case I imagine they're going to come out and try and rack up a cricket score against Uruguay.

    We haven't picked our best team but should still win comfortably.

    Just a little. Even if we lose to England we could still go through by beating Wales by more than 7 or by scoring 4 tries against them.

    Australia won't be worried about the bonus points. They just have to beat England, it's as simple as that. Then the Wales match will only be for first no worries of not making the finals.

    If England beat Australia (no bp) and then get a BP win final game, do we definitely go through?

    I don't watch a lot of rugby but is that really a yellow card? I didn't even think it was a penalty.

  13. Squeaks ZW Poole

    Don't think so. Would depend if Aussie got a losing BP and then got a BP win over Wales. Plus what Wales get against Fiji and the Aussie. A lot could still happen.

    This WC they are really coming down on people grabbing other necks in and around the breakdown. It's really dangerous and is therefore a yellow.

    He clearly has though, the hardest bit of the game is clearing the ruck out and he does that well, he gets used as a scape goat by everyone because he is the league guy, when in actual fact the guys who lose us the games are seasoned union guys

    Australia just rushing things. Could have been 50-3 at HT if they didn't. Not that it matters much.

    That'd put England on 15 points.

    If Wales beat Australia, Australia could have a maximum of: 4 points from the Fiji game, 5 points from the Uruguay game, 2 points from the Wales game, 2 points from the England game. Would be a maximum of 13 points.

    If Australia beat Wales, Wales could have a maximum of: 5 points from the Uruguay game, 4 points from the England game, 2 points from the Australia game, 5 points from the Fiji game. Would be a maximum of 16 points. Australia would have a maximum of: 4 points from the Fiji game, 5 points from the Uruguay game, 5 points from the Wales game, 2 points from the England game: 16 points.

    So no, but that's pretty dependent on the loser getting maximum bonus points.

    Had -62 handicap for that game thankfully Cooper kicked the conversion and the multis are still in play :)

    I guess Japan had nothing to lose though, while England had everything to lose.
