I'm really hoping he gets a decent injury in this game, dodgy Irish caaaants
Ireland defend plan to play suspended Sexton in unofficial match
Ireland are preparing to play an unofficial training match against Portugal, which should be beneficial for suspended captain Johnny Sexton.
For clarification, nothing wrong with it, I'd just love to see him out - though preferably with an early red card, meaning they lose a quarter final, but the card is later cancelled. That'll teach them to stop the twenty minute card

Some guy (I.e me) on the internet who has nothing to do with the boks or the team they face in the quarters will have no impact on the outcome of the game!!
Some big players missing from the WC squad for the boks and I will be staggered if Kilosi is a starter due to the injury he suffered and how long it takes players to recover from it and get back to their best.

Two-Test Waratahs rookie bolts into Wallabies squad for Rugby World Cup
NSW utility Ben Donaldson has been given the nod by coach Eddie Jones ahead of the Wallabies’ World Cup squad naming on Thursday.

So, are they hoping to name some
Injured boks by 1st Sept or hoping they will be ready as replacements if they have injuries during the World Cup? -
Hooper's body, and more importantly mind, has failed. Shit end for teh guy. I have enormous respect for him, fucking warrior.

Quade Cooper also set to miss the squad. Big call.
but not a bad one. He's been very poor. Eddie setting out his stall.

@Machpants didnt SBW play in the NPC game of 3 halves and it counted toward one of his games?
Neither ideal, but they maybe need to tie the ban to a minimum of the same level they got banned from?

I think it's a smart move by Eddie if true. Way too much baggage in the old guard as you build for 2025/2027.
Does anyone honestly think he's going to last until 2025 let alone 2027? It's Eddie, his shelf life is way shorter than that, it's guaranteed he'll eventually have a bust up with Kim Jong McLennan as those two egos can't coexist for too long.

He took over Japan in 2012 and had them humming at RWC 2015.
He took over England in 2016 and had them humming at RWC 2019.

Can't believe they are dropping Len
It's not dropping - he has a shoulder injury

So the injury is worse than 'back for the first game' I guess

@Machpants lol how do you drop Ikitau, he’s arguably their best back. Eddie really has lost his marbles. His whole persona is kind of wearing thin now, I personally think he’s just not upto it. Neither are Australia tbh.
