Hmmm... sounds like it's more a comment on my awareness than the US's participation. Think I'll go back into lurk mode on rugby...

I'd say that the halves are more of a concern - but I'm guessing Clivey's just foxing.


Matt Dawson has been announced fit for saturday's game. </font>[/QUOTE]Just heard that Over-The-Hill and Matt-The-Whinging-Prat have been ruled out. Rudolf must be smiling. :D

Our squad is so strong these are minor inconveniences. So we rest Matt and bring in Kyren Bracken. There's little to choose between them.

Just sorry we won't be playing you this time!

The only whinging in this WC is coming from the Southern Hemisphere - hanging together in a time of crisis.

Dorian West, Jason Leonard, Martin Corry, Joe Worsley, Andy Gomarsall, Paul Grayson, Dan Luger.

Look at that for a bench - read 'em and weep Genieboy!

Dorian West - also-ran, losing record and England captain

Jason Leonard - also-ran, pensioner

Martin Corry - also-ran, can't believe he got in before Simon Shaw

Joe Worsley - Joe WHO?? [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

Andy Gomarsall - 3rd string, 3rd rate

Paul Grayson - also-ran

Dan Luger - Medicare case


Despite all that, I'm sure you'll be making a lot of use of the bench - you're playing the Bokke after all, and I'm sure they'll put a BlitzKRIGE on you... :eek: :D

and everyone of them could get into your team. Hell, I could get into your team!

Surely you remember Worsley - he played against Australia when we beat you 25-14 in june. You were at that game weren't you?

Was Luger a Medicare case here?

We'll biff up against them for the first 20 minutes. They'll realise they ain't getting anywhere and the discipline will go. We roll out winners! End of!

And hope they've all had their rabies shots - Bakkies is hungry and he's feeling like an English roast, I think... http://www.pk-hq.com/community/image...ies/jesse4.gif

:D

Is this the same South Africa that we beat 53-3 last time out?
