Both CBS and Fox football countdown shows are heated about AB.
Because a player with leverage bucked the system.
I hate that move these teams(steelers/giants) refuse the best deal to spit a player(ab/obj) they don’t like by sending them off to NFL-Siberia.
Ab took it another level
Obj bytched about it to gq magazine

AB situation is different imo. Steelers have a right not to trade then to their rival. OBJ got sent to a franchise where the organization hoped to bury him.

That's an odd question, their pool is easy as fukk. Why wouldn't one of the top 5 most talented teams in the world not make it out of that pool D.

:usure:

No Pocock, no Skelton, lots of internal strife with the Folau debacle ...

I have Wales winning the group, I think a loss to Fiji could realistically happen, and Georgia is knocking on the door of Tier 1 Rugby and I say have sn outsidr shot at beating the Wallabjes, or at least getting the bonus point loss

Bottom line: I don't think its a given

Pocock is back, the Falou shyt is old news, they've even bought back one of the 3 Amigos in James O'Connor.

Australia will top the group. I'll put money on that.

I thought he was retiring from Int'l play? Or did he mean after the WC?

Pocock back. He was Captain in their last warm up game. Australia always shows up at the world cup, even when they're crap.
Especially against Northern Hemisphere teams, they'll run circles around Wales trust me.
Cheika is also a specialist at knockout Games, his tactics and overall intensity is hard thing to sustain over years and years, but in a knockout competition he's devastating.

Australia are very good, if they go Will Genia at 9,Ice Man Foley at 10, then all them Fijian super nikkaz, Keriobete, Kerevi mixed in with some magic from Kurtley Beale, James O'Connor. That back line is simply too hot, plus Pocock will make sure their rucks are solid, giving them quick secure ball and slowing down the ball for Wales.

Isreal Falou is a generational talent and cannot never be replaced unfortunately.

Wait, why we talking rugby in here?

But... Being Welsh I hope Wales top the group but I see Australia beating them and then I just hope they don't slip against Fiji.

It started with my first post in this thread yesterday lol ... Now that I know there are a few other rugby heads on here I'll make the official thread

IDK I think Wales have had more consistent form and less drama, I think they'll win the group

But if ppl sleep on Fiji and Georgia :ufdup:
