Rugby Union 2013-14

Burns has had a poor season, that's undeniable, but he was superb last summer.  Cipriani will get a chance on this tour and in the autumn and I think Myler will get a chance as well.  The problem is he's invested so much in Farrell so far that we're running short of time to give the other guys an 'audition' for the world cup.

It's the same problem at 7.  If robshaw were to pick up an injury next summer and miss the world cup we'd be fucked because we've got no one to cover who has had a decent chance at international level, he won't even pick a 7 on the bench to give them half an hour here and there.

Care out that's another blow.

Was largely expected though

2 more tries for Earle in the JWC - 5 in 2 for him so far, he's definitely one to keep an eye on, nice win over Australia, the last group game is tuesday vs Argentina, pretty nice to be going into that with 2 bonus point wins, we should get a 3rd there as well.  SA beating NZ today has made it pretty interesting though, if Wales manage to beat France then NZ become favourites for the 4th seed with 3rd seed being France or Ireland (unless England or SA blow it).  If France win then it's Ireland looking at 4th seed which is a much more attractive prospect.

Will be interesting to see how it goes, it's going to be very tough for us.

[PaulWinch again]

I just want to see a good performance from us here, it's a massive ask to expect anything big.

[PaulWinch again]

Nonu should have been yellow carded immeadiately.

[PaulWinch again]

Robshaw has started brilliantly here.

[PaulWinch again]

Really good play from us there.

[aj2k77]

As good as NZ are, I hate how games involving them are reffed.

[PaulWinch again]

We have started very well.

[paul_e]

Really good play from us there.

We've started really well, Burns is justifying his start. Nonu was a definite yellow,  really poor from Owens,  who's had a poor start from our side. They have got away with a lot of the niggly shit.

[PaulWinch again]

Burns is doing brilliantly.

[PaulWinch again]

So frustrating we get three points and then give three points straight back.

[PaulWinch again]

Our attacking game is really developing.
