I've forgotten what happened this morning never mind what I say to you when I'm half cut. But yes it is I think a massive advantage and probably a decent bet. if someone can beat the AB's for you that would be nice too.

Nothing personal Mick but I'm liking DC's tips better.

[Alan Medic]

Fiji to be leading at HT tomorrow is 8/1.

USA and Scotland are in the same Group as S.Africa so I don't think DC meant both.

[????]

Indeed. I bet the US at 34/1 :)

Trade it quick.

Stick to your original England bet.

Don't forget that in rugby, on the line is over the line, so it will all be a legit home world cup this time. No Azerbeijani officiados needed.

Have no idea what I am doing.

Well obvs I didn't mean that both will qualify - given RSA are a given that's not possible. But without looking at the odds I thought both might be given a decent shout of reaching the QFs. USA have some very mobile backs with a 7s pedigree. Shame Carlin Isles isn't here though - the quickest man in rugby.

Will Twickenham be filled with Englishmen - or is there a

quota for us Wales fans :)

Don't like the England strip

[Alan Medic]

Enjoyable game though.

[????]

I don't know who shocked me most Japan or West Ham

[Alan Medic]

Japan surprised everyone but deserved to win. Best sporting event I've watched in ages.

They certainly got up the field well for that last try

7 pts behind you always have a chance :)

[JohnL]

And Wales have the first OFFICIAL WARNING (ooh I'm scared)

We brought in some players not in the squad but apparently we weren't allowed to

England drop Ford for Farrell. Anyone agree that's a good decision? I don't.

[Mick Mac]

Try to keep to 15 players on Saturday night.

Gives us hope - Apparently to counter Welsh play - but

you play to your strengths - don't you.

I'd be impressed if we sneaked on a couple of valley boys :)

Ford must be peed off. As for having Burgess in the centre I think that's an experiment waiting to fail. I hope I don't have to eat my words if England wallop the Wales 2nd XV

[Mick Mac]

Is it Burgess v Roberts - if so that's your answer. Big lads both.

I think it is - Barritt seems to have moved to outside centre - facing Scott Williams.
