Waiting List

No player has a knee to the head coming! Was a stupid and cowardly thing to do by Cooper and its no wonder New Zealenders dont like him when he acts like sucha prat

He might bend the rules but McCaw is anything but dirty. Cooper has tried to wind him up a few times with sly digs and he hasn't reacted. I'd love to see Cooper get a slap. I know you worship Cooper Steve but the lad was well out of order with the knee.

There is previous

Quade Rucks of McCaw, so McCaw kicks out

Yea, totally the same.....fair play to Cooper though, best attempt of a tackle I've seen him make!

Would like one of the All Blacks to give Cooper a couple of slaps - talented player but such a tool.

Wasnt he up for robbery a season or so ago?

Of course Cooper was out of order I said it when he did it and When he didn't get banned. He should have missed a few weeks at least.

McCaw isn't an angel though. he's always going after Cooper. He swung and missed at Cooper during a game this year, think it was Tri nations.

Only really discovering how much the NZers hate him on youtube now. The comments under this video which by anyone's admission is good play show it. He bounces off carter, holds his own in the collision with Mccaw and then passes to genia.

Totally agree with that Chris, you can't doubt the boy has talent but a prize nob to go with it.

Think it was breaking and entering?!?! Lovely lad

Posters on YouTube are generally mental

See that Flannery and Skrela are both out of WC now.

Was the concensus that we cant play those that are injured during the WC? I'm not planning on playing Sheridan unless others play those injured during the WC

Yea that was the ruling Chris

And call ups are out to I assume?

Not sure about call ups tbh, if injuries arn't allowed back I don't see why callups would be not allowed as in theory nobody has been replaced?!?!?

Yeah they are mate.

I'v lost Dave Wallace and Shane Jennings to that rule!

Little unfair on you there Driver I can see the theory in injuries but don't think new call-ups should be removed. You've lost out twice!

Have always thought injuries should be allowed back...in the same way injuries pre-squad can play now.

How about this then

Injured players can return to there Clubs after the groups as if they have been released due to injury?

I don't think you can now allow injured players to play myself....shouldn't really change the rule midway imo

agree with pooly
rule was made and should stay

Fair enough , Thought you were just hinting that way mate

Was call-ups ever the rule though?

Yeah mate

Not saying it should be changed, just never understood why that was made the ruling in the first place.

Watching SA v Wales. Awful defence for the Steyn try!

Hooks pen that wasn't would have hit the post. Couldn't give thar

Apparently England are set to make 11 changes for the game versus Georgia, 7 in the pack with only Easter keeping his place...back three meant to keep their places.

It's good to have sources :-)

Apparently it will be:

1. Stevens
2. Hartley
3. Wilson
4. Shaw
5. Palmer
6. Wood
7. Moody
8. Easter
9. Youngs
10. Floos
11. Ashton
12. Hape
13. Tuilagi
14. Armitage
15. Foden

Wilson!? Disgusting. Prefer to see Corbs at 1 and Stevens at 3.
Happy with the rest, interesting to see how Hape/Tuilagi goes.

Russia vs USA - pure entertainment value

I forgot Wilson went...What channel Nick?

ITV 4

Ah someone else watching the USA vs Russia game. Brilliant game, Reckon Russia to nick it Drive

Anyone else think that ITV's coverage is shockingly bad?

Any why all the Wilson haters - he played some good gmaes for Bath at the end of the season...

Hope so! Ngwenya is a having a absolute stinker!

Agreed, since when has Ngwenya had a decent game?!

The Russian 11 and SH look quite handy IMO.

And Englands front row should be Corbs - Hartley - Stevens

Wilson is only cover and should be that, only played a handful of good games at the end of last season.

Dave Pearson - and your getting my washing bill

I can get Gay Rabbit but not ITV4.....there's something not right there

Think we know what you're more interested in mate...

Yeah - you shouldn't be looking at that channel at 10am in the morning...

Because you'll be on it Chris?

You can't beat a bit of Gay Rabbit first thing in the morning!

I'm thinking this is why I stick to the other games... the talk here is a bit strange is oneway to put it!

Are those the kind of "documentries" you make Chris

I dont think Michael Palin would like that sort of thing Pooly - going to name drop there - met him on Tuesday night, have to say he is the nicest bloke I have met! Sold out the Royal Geographical Society and got to meet Liz Bonnin too - you'd like her Pooly, or I thought you would do until this morning...

Just googled Liz Bonnin.

Just did the same :o

Fair play i'm looking forward to watching that 2nd half of Russia vs USA.....anyone see that a Russian guy made something like 26 tackles?!

Think Brussow made 30 against Wales at the weekend

She's not too bad at all

Better than your rabbit channel? Can't believe you watched that with a cup of tea over the rugby
