A young dynamic Scotland against and old and tired Ireland, should be a stroll.

That's actually a pretty reasonable kick off for Aus - Arg.

Probably not going to bother with Wales - Italy.

If Italy play like they did against Scotland they could cause an upset here.
Any idea if the Maori game is on British TV? Not waking up at 6 for a stream

I agree, I think the Wales v Italy game might be quite interesting. From a results point of view, I'm pretty sure it will be fairly turgid rugby.

Quite looking forward to the Ireland V Scotland game. It's a game we could win and I think will give us a decent idea of where we really are - with the caveat that all these games are a completely different environment to a proper 6N with crowds of course.

England v France could also get quite interesting. England really should crush this team but if the French team can manufacture some emotion they could cause a surprise.

Think the plan was to use the all inclusive weekend thread comets. Though appreciate this has significance for you.

Put a tenner on Scotland...probably the game of the weekend considering how weakened France are supposed to be.

Thing is though, let's reverse the situation and it's an English B team playing France. I wouldn't be ruling out a win.

Clearly we're hot favourites but France playing with nothing to lose is dangerous.

I actually am very much looking forward to Fiji - Georgia. Georgia ought to fancy it after last week.

Quite enjoyed the verse of Advance Australia Fair in the Aboriginal language (sorry, didn't pick up the actual name). Wonder if it will catch on

Another joke law. He was off his feet because the Aussie defender pulled him off his feet.

Aussie 4 holding off the ball to create that gap and ignored by Gardener right in front off his face.

Is it normal for the assistant coach to be in the middle?

Think the initial contact was with the face but went through to the shoulder line pretty quick. Probably a bit of whiplash in that.

Classy try. Although that maul will make Enzedder puke up his dinner.

You don't have to have the ball to win the game.

Have the laws around the time allowed for HIA's been amended? Used to be 5 minutes to complete?
