@Daffy-Jaffy
Thought this was very interesting from the Vice-Chairman of World Rugby, Gus Pichot:Doesn't specifically refer to Jean Kleyn but given his stance on residency I'd assume that's what he is referring to.
-
The Irish team naming was one big fiasco - Schmidt planned to inform the players and send the list to WR...but release the list at the end of this week. Took about 2 minutes for the team to leak...and the IRFU to hurriedly organise a press conference...
Jean Kleyn is a terrible pick BTW - think Greg Rawlinson.

Hopefully, Dev’s answer to toerag Pichot is:

Good on Gorgodze for reversing his retirement after injuries to other squad members.

Like the grizzled old clubby that gets a phone call on the morning of the game to finish the lawns and come and help out the firsts.

There's a decent French side possible with that mix. I certainly could see them get out of the pool and provide a decent quarter final for Wales or Australia.

NZ to beat SA in the final. Comfortably

Canada would be lucky to beat a NZ schools 1st XV - they have totally and utterly regressed. I wouldn't even be surprised if Namibia beat Canada. TBH, the RWC pools got thrown out of sync by the Spain/Germany/another country which escapes me (?Romania) being disqualified for fielding 1 or 2 ineligible players.
