All credibility lost with that statement there mate. Whatever odd logic you have used to come up with this could probably be applied to the all blacks or any team. You're either trolling or unable to be objective in this case
Dear Michael Cheika,
Please do the following.
1. Have at least one defender at rucks when defending our tryline.
2. Ban chip kicks from our own 22
3. Ban props from the backline
If you do this, it's no guarantee we will beat Argentina, but it sure as crap will help!
Joubert is well known to try and follow the letter of the law regardless of impact to the game. He put 2 Aussies in the bin against Wales knowing that could have been game over for us. But it was still correct call.
All he did with this offside penalty was referee correctly without fear or...
I think the truth is probably in the middle of this, it's not one or the other.
The Wallabies have been improving since cheika took over. The all blacks faced Australia's best side in Sydney and were beaten fair and square in the end. You can't blame Barnes for that.
Scotland are a talented...
You're talking about one game. And they won. And this after an emotionally draining game to thrash england out of the cup at Twickenham. They weren't at their best yet they still managed to win against a talented determined Welsh side. I doubt they will be 'infringing to win' against Scotland
True Sanzar. Teams can lift when it's all on the line though. But I think in my heart the Wallabies will win this comfortably. They were emotionally drained after dumping england out of the comp and Wales had a bit more time for that game. We might see the Wallabies starting to bring their peak...
More like underestimating Scotland. There's been a lot to like about the way they have played all their games in this tournament. A close game is very likely
Settle down buddy. No one is writing off New Zealand. The question was about the most likely upset.
SA vs Wales could go either way so no potential for upset. Same for pumas v irish.
It's more likely that France will beat nz rather than scots beating the Wallabies.
That said, I think nz are...
Argentina are a quality side capable of beating anyone. Their only win in the RC against Australia was close and when Wallabies were in disarray with the Kurtley Beale saga. Aus are a different team now but so are the pumas. They won't fear any side and can beat any side.
France beating New Zealand. Everyone is writing them off as having no hope, awful coach..This will **** them off , there's a lot of talent in the French team. Very similar conditions to the 1999 and 2007 and 2011 matches. Not saying it's definitely going to happen but crikey, all the conditions...
Especially when tuilagi has had that same running style for years. It's a bit rich to suddenly cite him for it. Toward End off his career, last world cup..bad form by irb
