    4 tries already and with Namibia chasing the game and Tonga with an awful goal kicker we should see plenty more.

    Namibia looking a bit like Canada the other day. Nice moves here and there but get to a certain point on the pitch and lose all composure.

    Vainikolo didnt play for tonga on tuesday, hopefully he plays sunday though. He is my reserve wing. I have earls in my team. I will be very upset with JS is he doesnt make the 23 at least. :)


    Gorgodze will be my capt as georgia play NZ. Reckon he might make a lot of tackles and hopefully he wont get another YC

    Why do NZ have two scrum-halves on the bench?

    Good question. Also interesting that they went with their back up props as starters and their starting props on the bench.

    Messam. He was meant to start against Namibia but has a calf strain.

    One of the 2 HBs on the bench must be covering 10 as both Slade and Barrett have niggles. I have no idea if either TKB or TJP have any experience at 10.

    Don't know about actually playing at 10 but TJ can certainly kick.

    Just reading about Kerr-Barlow's leg injury last year. Sounds a bit like the one JdV came back from?

    I read an article earlier that said TJ was FH cover. He played a bit there at underage and has trained there this week. It'll be a blow for NZ if Nonu is injured, but it's not like if any of the rest of the countries had their best 12 injured.

    what a horrible state of affairs when your number one 12 is injured and all you have to replace him with is Sonny bill williams :eek::pac: they're doomed!!

    I'd expect to see the NZ first team out against Tonga next week in prep for their QF.

    This is their weakened team.

    Argentina team.

    Argentina haven't rested a lot of their key players. I assume a win this weekend would guarantee their qualification and they may use their last game to rest some of them but it could stand in our favour if they don't.

    That was brilliant. Jesus I love sport. Some random Argentinian music I've never heard just making it even better. Brilliant.

    Clancy has just ignored the world's most obvious deliberate knock on

    He has now just penalised Georgia because the full back was mean.

    Georgia playing like they expected to walk all over Namibia.

    Great effort from Namiba so far but it can't last long.

    Georgia have blown chances but the referee has missed a maul side entry on Namibia's line from their 7 and an absolutely blatant deliberate knock on on Namibia's line. Every single Namibian scrum fed to the second row also.

    A lot of silly mistakes by Georgia. They've a lot riding on this game and the pressure is getting to them, a tad bit nervous but clearly the better team.

    Haig looks raging in the coaching box!
