Armitage definitely has been playing well but from the perspective of balanced team and bench I agree with TMT Cueto to start and Armitage to cover the outside backs.

Anyone seen the Aussie team, Samo the number 8 is on the wing!

That's what half a day and an afternoon in the beer garden does for you :rolleyes:

Australia are playing Russia not Samoa, and Samo has enough pace to handle the Russians so not a great risk.

Best game Ive seen so far this one, just a crying shame Tonga keep making mistakes where it counts.

platypus · 1 Oct 2011 at 07:48

Oh man how lucky have France been?

A SCRUM??

platypus · 1 Oct 2011 at 07:50

Oh, wow. I cannot believe that finish.

It's a pitty that France progress,they have been rubbish the whole tournament.A bit like the French team in the football world cup

I don't like to pick, but ITV are awful. What on earth was that team introduction?

hellarda · 1 Oct 2011 at 08:25

Jimbeam3678 · 1 Oct 2011 at 08:37

Pretty sure it will be........

platypus · 1 Oct 2011 at 08:37

Oooh, not nice to see that

. Poor Jackson.

hellarda · 1 Oct 2011 at 08:38

uh oh....

platypus · 1 Oct 2011 at 08:39

Well theres a surprise. A horribly flat English line. Scotland could well get their first try here..

Great scrum though, and a Scottish penalty :confused:

. Ah, Dan Cole. I thought theyd penalised Thompson.

yeh dan cole lost his footing :/

platypus · 1 Oct 2011 at 08:41

Aye, they focused on Thompson after the handbags so thought he'd been penalised.

3-0 :mad:

. Early nerves or just the usual English indiscipline...they need to get it sorted and fast.

What a kick by Wilko.
