Let's try this then, all weekend match threads on here.

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

Oooo goodie.

The line up

Saturday UK time
6.05 am NZ Maori v Moana Pasifika https://notplanetrugby.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=849
8.45 am Aus v Argentina

12pm Georgia v Fiji
2.15pm Ireland v Scotland
4.45pm Wales v Italy

Sunday
2pm England v France

Springbokke vs Corona

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.

SKY SPORTS ARENA followed by the oz-argy game

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.

oh in that case, MERGE IT..i won't be around here then anyways

Haven’t seen a match thread so assume we are on this one.

Have we a team list?

WALLABIES (15-1):
Reece Hodge, Tom Wright, Jordan Petaia, Hunter Paisami, Marika Koroibete, James O'Connor, Nic White,

Harry Wilson, Michael Hooper (c), Ned Hanigan, Matt Philip, Rob Simmons, Allan Alaalatoa, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Scott Sio

Reserves: Folau Fainga'a, Angus Bell, Taniela Tupou, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Rob Valetini, Jake Gordon, Irae Simone, Tom Banks

Decent day of rugby ahead!

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

Argies wearing more than take around their arm this time.

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.

Eat that

See hundreds of those every match

Officials doing their best to bring the game into further disrepute. Utter bollox. Pen at max

Apparently the same as this

FARK! Foot man. FOOT.

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

That one is worse: shoulder to head 1st

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

Phil Kearns is such a tool

I think it's ubiquitous across Aussie commentators.

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

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

That you Eddie?

Lovely fend.

Korobeite left in absolute knots

AGAIN. Not listening.

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