[Mustafur]

I would expect a few blow outs this round, I think Lebanon vs Ireland will probably be the closest considering Douhei will be suspended.

shiiiit... Joey Manu $1.01 to score about 6 tries and break 45 tackles on the weekend.... that's going to be a slaughtering, triple digits could be on the cards

It is the same was Aus v Sco tomorrow morning. I'd argue this Aussie side is better than the one put out last round. This round will have some really ugly games.

 

[Sproj]

Beautiful ball by Cleary to Addo-Carr.

The famous green of Australia against the iconic…yellow?? Of Scotland? That said, I like the Scotland kit.

 

[Sproj]

The opposition isn’t as good but this is clearly a better Aussie team than last week. The Panther additions are already making a huge statement. Cleary is a magician.

Poor Scotland are making like 15m per set.

 

[Sproj]

It so good to have the British commentary team too.

 

[Sproj]

Addo-Carr’s ability to counter attack is sublime.

 

[Sproj]

This is looking like heading to 100-0.

 

[Sproj]

So I wonder if Tedesco is injured or rested, Holmes has played a big chunk of this match at fullback.

 

[Sproj]

Wow if that is a try, that might well be one of the best you’ll ever see.

 

[Sproj]

And it is, what a way to finish.

This is why world cups are boring
