Interesting Australian Story titled "In a Different League". Michael Cheika; background, career and how many balls he has in the air ATM.
His Leb Mungos can get to the quarters if they get past an Irish side full of Superleague players and a few NRL men. Should they do that, his juggling skills will be well tested as they will play in the North of England on Sat November 5 while Argentina face England at Twickenham on Sunday the 6th.

"The main difference between playing League and Union is that now I get my hangovers on Monday instead of Sunday - Tom David
As a "casual" Mungo match watcher. I find the League World Cup a joke
most of the players are NRL journeymen who couldn't name the capital city of the Country they are representing.
Let alone the Players representing Australia who believe that it is more important to play for NSW or Queensland.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

Me too. But I'll still watch some of it - without judging the likes of Brad Thorne for choosing to play origin.![]()

So predictable for the most part?
Bet you $50 these are the Qtr Finalists next year.
France
New Zealand
Ireland
South Africa
Wales
Australia
England
Argentina
You've gone a step further than me then. I just think either of those are capable of getting past NZ, with Samoa the Smokies. In any event there should be some good matches from the qf's onwards.
