    So, Ben O’Teo and The Pound Shop Phil Mitchell have had a bit of a scrap, I gather.

    Amazing acheivement given how few top teams they beat 😉

    I must admit tho that Gatland has made them into a real force Peaked too early? 😉

    Dont we have to beat England tomorrow?
    Worl rankings are bollocks anyway.

    Provisional number one at the moment, regardless of result. Official publication is on Monday, so a win tomorrow would rubber stamp it.

    Agree on the rankings being rubbish, but let’s bask in the glory for a while, eh?

    Slade Underhill and that 7’s player all out for England. Hard to see Sam Underhill staying fit for any useful period during the rwc

    Hold your horses, don’t be so hasty. Someone who knows their onions, said last year:

    I refred(sic) to the rankings as I think it shows the true strength of teams.

    Anyone remember who said that?

    Carberry didn’t look too clever. Who else have Ireland got who can play 10 at the moment? If Jungledrums Sexpants gets injured, who steps in?

    Carty is pretty handy. Is 4th choice Billy Burns? (Freddie’s somehow Irish brother!)

    Me? I like the rankings. NOt faultless but it does give a good indication of where the teams are. sometimes throws up oddities tho.

    Yes, I agree with you, it gives a fair idea of where the teams are over a period of time. I don’t see how you could get to #1 in the World (even if only for a day), without being a very good team.

    Predictions for today?

    I will get cross at both teams “dark arts”

    Tedious game of thud and blunder. Wales to win by 5 pts

    England have a strong pack, Wales will have been flogged in training, anything could happen!!

    anything could happen!!

    My feelings too. A good workout with no injuries would make me happy.

    Tedious game of thud and blunder

    I cannot see that happening, both teams can play exciting rugby imho.

    Can yes – but will they? Mind you Liam Williams is on fire right now and maybe he will do thew honours – Wales seem to allow him to counter in the way 1/2p seemed never to be allowed to

    Watch out at rucks for this one – as a Welsh player is cleaned out at a ruck he sticks his leg / foot on the wrong side to slow the ball – something I hope gets picked up.

    Thanks, I’ll do that. Normally I only see obvious things like this:

    I can’t see either team holding back. We’re playing for our 15th win, secure our 1st in the world position officially and Goat becoming our most capped player ever and England are announcing their wc squad tomorrow so the young players will be looking to impress.

    I just hope no one on either side gets injured
