@NTA said in Fiji vs Australia:

Big bench. Small starting back row.

Obviously looking for Pocock to help nullify Fijian quick ball, as well as see if he's ready for Rugby after months without a game.

Back line is basically first choice from where I'm sitting. Foley the forgotten man, will probably get a crack at Georgia and Uruguay unless Lilo has a shocker.

Small bench for Australia, in fact, as there is normally one more player. Also a bit sad to see the wallabies copying our patented dual open side tactic

Man sex in Florida is legally an unnatural act "unnatural and lascivious"

SBW is a cup bridesmaid, third RWC in a row as bench impact, gotta be some sort of record

@nzzp said in RWC All Blacks v South Africa:

@canefan ya got that right. 5 year contract, with big money for a winger - they obviously see him as something special

Like The Bus.....

When you look who gets penalised the most I think it maybe inverse, higher ranking = more penalties

Unless you are Ireland

@Daffy-Jaffy said in 2019 Rugby World Cup:

Wales have been rocked by the news that attack coach Rob Howley has been sent home from Japan amid allegations of betting infringements.

According to reports Howley has left the Welsh camp and Stephen Jones now joins Warren Gatland’s squad as they prepare for the tournament.

WalesOnline believe Howley contravened gambling guidelines by placing bets on Welsh fixtures in what is a shock twist ahead of the World Cup.

Fuck I thought that was a joke about Warren's silly' we threw the game' comment.

Not a good look

I'd be interested to see a birth country graph, too

Personally I absolutely LOVE the name Cylones and we should change for the next season

@taniwharugby Oceans (roughly) or regions.
Cyclones - South Pacific,
Typhoons North West Pacific, Indian,
Hurricanes Atlantic.

All the same thing a severe depression usually formed in the tropics but obviously they move out side of that zone.
Tornados are a different thing of course.

Edit: see that you have edited!

We should campaign for the Hurricanes to change their name to more accurately reflect the South Pacific...

Those mad buggers that fly into Hurricanes to study them must enjoy turbulence...

I assume it's just the same as flying into Wellington Airport in the city where the Wellington Cyclones rugby team is based.

And the cool chant at matches: Cy-cl-ones, Cy-cl-ones.

The Wellington Bicycle Clones?

@antipodean mebbe, but world Rugby said that knocks will get postponed, pool games won't
