        Hot week of weather here in Melbourne. Predicted to be a high of 37 on Friday with it still in the 30s for the game at night. Shouldn't be humid though.

        With that lineup I think Rebels could be a real chance.

                Looking at that line-up, the main issue seems to be with the 11 jersey, where Li usually plays. If they had a good player for that position available, they could play McKay at fullback and start Ioane at 10, with Gatland/Banks covering from the bench. I'd like to know where Buckman is at. He can play at 11-15, and play there well. He came back from Japan and holiday at the same time as Franklin.

                TU-J has talent but was like a ping pong ball on steroids against the Chiefs; I hope they can calm him down a bit. He also usually plays at 12, I think?

                The weakest spot seems to be reserve hooker. I've never understood how Jackson made the NZ U20s and now SR? He was out of his depth during the few games I've seen him play M10 Cup (like the rest of his team).

                I'm quite excited to see Fakatava named on the bench. Only turned 19 in December, so very young, but so much potential.

                  Just ship some black jerseys and BBBR to Christchurch for the RWC squad.

                  Looks like being a tough weekend for Highlanders and Chiefs fans with the All Blacks stand downs.

                        Great start from the Landers! Awesome cross kick from Gatland; Frizell scores the try!

                            Scoring tries and making running metres - is that what we want from our loosies? πŸ˜‰

                                That's what we want from Tonga's loosies.

                                            Seemed a bit soft that try.

                                                This monpoly on Dicksons/Dixons, Thompsons/Thomsons and Parkinsons has worked out very well for the 'landers.
