    Morgan at full back fills me with dread. He does some great things sometimes but he cannot tackle that is a full backs first job.
    I was expecting him to go on the wing…

    He is because, responding to the English trend, Wales are playing Kimi Raikonnen at full back.

    I never thought I’d say this, but Wales have a good looking bench for tomorrow

    I really hope they switch on again and put in a dominant (and bonus point winning) performance

    I’ll be on the train during tomorrow’s match…

    … If the signal is as poor as tonight I’ll be off down the market to buy a dozen carrier pigeons 👿

    You think. Two tightheads and two 10’s who have also played fullback a bit. Apparently Anscombe (another 10/15) is not fit despite being called up to replace someone or other. Huge match for Tyler Morgan at 13 too. He may be up against Kuridrani in a few weeks …. gulp…

    I’ve just read that owing to a typesetting error in the match program, the All Blacks aren’t going to perform their traditional prematch challenge and will instead be throwing it down in the form of a traditional Japanese poem.

    Austrailia team to face England.

    Israel Folau; Adam Ashley-Cooper, Tevita Kuridrani, Matt Giteau, Rob Horne; Bernard Foley, Will Genia; Scott Sio, Stephen Moore, Sekope Kepu; Kane Douglas, Rob Simmons; Scott Fardy, Michael Hooper, David Pocock.

    The England back row are going to get mullered and the backs will have to make their tackles, otherwise it will be a try fest.

    They’ve gone public via Sky Sports to state the Robshaw is a weak link, hows that for knocking a man when he’s down!

    TBH I reckon England will nick this one, setting up a Wales / Aus nailbiter next week.

    Good to see Launchbury back in

    Funny that Aus have what 3 or 4 fly halves and still probably not any one of them is quite *perfect*…. but what a selection to chose from.

    Very good 😉 😀

    They have a habit of scraping by so I wouldn’t put it past the buggers 😡

    Still no Danny Care or Henry Slade. I’ve come to the conclusion that A.Farrell hates union and is trying to kill it.

    Right. Now the challenge begins!

    Am flying today, out of Houston Bush en route to Las Vegas. Am hoping to find a bar at Bush showing the game but fear it may be an ask too far.

    So, anyone know any reliable, not too iffy, online viewing possibilities for me?

    Don’t think Itvplayer will work over here.

    cricinfofree (EDIT) should do it.

    ITV player would work if you have a VPN.

    If not CricfreeTv usually works but you need to be patient waiting for streams to start up and for the ads to dissipate.

    Any of the American channels carrying the RWC?

    And Jesus…Houston to LV – talk about one shithole to another. Still, those new multi-use Post-its aren’t going to shift themselves, eh? 🙂

    Flash you have time to sign up for a VPN – very useful for the international traveller, works anywhere in the world.

    I had great results with witopia.

    Sportlemon and VIPBOX were my online viewing partners before I got a Sky Go code 🙂

    Thanks all. Will try those.

    Re American channels, I’m not sure if they are. There are so many of them and so much region variation that it’s hard to know!

    DD, you’re not wrong there. Two utter dumps.

    I watched a previous WC in Houston. failing that , a VPN ann itvplayer or catchuptv should work on an iPad.

    Failing all that, the RWC app has in app radio feed that is international.

    Failing that, just watch this thread. Unless Fiji are winning you’ll get a running commentary.

    English hat- England will get thumped, would help if Wales lost..

    I’m down with this, although I half heartedly want Wales to win to keep a “home” nation in the thing.

    Just explained the pool A situation to my colleague at work. Took about 15 minutes.

    So, what are the chances of ITV putting the Wales game up on the ITV Player tonight after the game?

    I’ve got a ride to fit in.

    Is there a scenario meaning that a Wales win over Australia would put England through? (I think there is, isn’t there?)

    Oh, the conflict… 😀

    If england beat the aussies, then barring england being beaten by uruguay, that’s your scenario.

    Yes, I thought it was that wrecker, just wasn’t sure about BP combinations as hadn’t looked at the table. But if it’s that simple, then bring it on. Go Wales tonight. Go England at the weekend. 😀

    (I suppose it would ease Welsh misery at losing to Australia for the 146th time in a row.)

    Are the English fans looking forward to the Wales Fiji game then, or don’t you care?
