Saturday Discussion

With three games ahead of us on this fine Saturday, I thought it would be smart to start a central thread where we can discuss each contest. Good luck all.

David Pocock is out with back soreness for Australia. That's a big blow for the Wallabies. I still expect us to win, but may be closer than most think.

Wallabies don't even have a specialist number 7 as a backup in the squad. That was the risk Deans took when naming the squad

Dogs with the points 

You are going to see the difference in NH v. SH talent as the Wallabies make the stale and slowballing Irish pay.

If the Americans had a few more world-class talents, they would have stung the Irish.

It will take a while for the Australians to work themselves around the damn Munster/Leinster slowball, and also to work through their inevitable team frustrating that will arise from meeting this, but once they do....Ireland will be cast away.

Now, as to the spread on this game.....

When I said that I meant Romania + Fiji...

I don't bet against Australia... Never have Never will

Lines are dropping on all 3 games...

Will 20 be enough for Romania?..

Arg PG first score looks alright

I took Australia 1-12 (2.80) when I heard Pocock was out.

Also on:

If you think Ireland are going to cover 12.5 then it's best taking Australia 1-12. I don't think Ireland will beat us.

They never did.

Horrific coaching by Deans.

Bring out the axe.

lol. bad call that one.
