    My apologies to Lancaster he is not an idiot after all. Your man Joseph is injured with a chest problem. His selections are reasonable in that context.

    Also per the article these changes are just rumours based on how they are lining up at training. Team yet to be announced.

    That article doesnt even mention Slade whos in the squad as the 4th centre and won Premiership young player of the year playing there for Exeter. Hes a natural 10 and so brings a 2nd playmaker option with both hands and feet plus his scoring records not half bad either. I personally think hes the natural replacement for JJ rather than trying to shoehorn Barrett in there who for me is the Emile Heskey of rugby in attack

    Sorry here is the rest of the article. Slade could play yet

    actual headline from my twitter feed

    "Why Australia are missing their greatest star Jarryd Hayne at the Rugby World Cup"

    I fail to believe that. Yet want to believe it. Please be true that someone said that.

    It's still up

    OK I translated from German but still

    Well that is more excusable that some German reporter who drew the short straw by being asked to report on a sport they had no idea about came up with that one liner.

    If Barritt and Burgess are our starting centres against Wales I will burn the fucking world down. You have all been warned.

    C'mon you Wallabies.

    Aus should do the business here, especially with Fiji having a 5 day turn around. Energy should play a factor in the 2nd.

    I personally think Burgess would be good in there but he needs Burrell at outside as both Barritt and Joseph where shocking against Fiji

    Surprised you've only been to 1 ABs game Cane. The rents actually got the luxury of warmth in a corporate box for that one through Dad's work - probably cared more about the food than the game.

    I've seen the ABs twice - against SA and Canada which was in the RWC. Had to go see them at a WC. Just so expensive to justify going to all ABs matches.

    Pocock gets the penalty with his first involvement. WAG
     
  15. Alex AJ O'Driscoll

    Really not happy with a lot of this start.
     
  16. Alex AJ O'Driscoll

    The way this game is going atm is why you shouldn't take low percentage play risks in their 22 early on.

    fuck sake
     
  17. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Fiji just seem to love giving away dumb penalties
     
  18. BoyBlunder BOY Blunder

    Burrell's not even in the squad so that wont happen
     
  19. Alex AJ O'Driscoll

    Nice from Volavola, @Midnight will be proud

    The Fijian attack against the Australia defence has given us some wonderful rugby.

    Aus will be desperate to get down the other end for a bonus point try. Could cost them if they lose a game
