who cares

[BDAVEY]

Kiwis will win the RWC too easy.. finals Kiwis SA, NZ by 20 points

[James]

For the Kiwis and South Africa to compete in the final one of them would have to come second in their respective pools. The likelihood of that is almost an absolute zero.

One of Australia, England or France is a pretty much given for the final and it is pretty much given New Zealand will be there from the other side of the pools with bells on.

They also said that they would easily win RWC 2003 in france.. The nation went in to state of shock after their departure, there is no doubt the AB's are favourites in every world cup, but can they handle the pressure?... History says they can't!...

Considering the tickets I have I couldn't give a monkeys as long as Wallabies get into the ...semis, consolation, and/or Final...as long as they make at least one game I will be very happy chappy indeed..

[James]

Props: Kepu, Robinson, Slipper, Longbottom

Backrowers: Pocock, Higginbotham, Palu (Samo), Elsom (Kimlin), Hodgson, McCalman.
9s: Genia, Phipps, Burgess
Inside backs: Cooper, Barnes (Ant Faingaa), Giteau
Centres: Ashley-Cooper, Digby Ioane
Wings: James O'Connor, Lachie Turner, Drew Mitchell (Pat McCabe)
Fullbacks: Kurtley Beale, Cameron Shepherd

Those guys I've bracketed are next cab off the rank for guys who are under an injury cloud.

Preferred starting line-up:
1. Benn Robinson
2. Stephen Moore
3. Sekope Kepu
4. James Horwill
5. Nathan Sharpe
6. Scott Higginbotham
7. David Pocock
8. Wycliff Palu

Beau looked badly injured this evening could be out for a few weeks.. he would be a handy back up to Poe

Charles, Slipper, Robinson, TPN, Moore, Longbottom
Sharpe, Horwill, Wykes, Mumm
Pocock, Robinson, MCalman, Elsom, Higgenbotham, Palu
Genia, Phipps, Burgess
Cooper, OConnor, Giteau, Faingaa, Beale, Ioane, Turner, Gerrard, Sheperd, AAC, Vuna

there are my possibles/probables

havent considered Mitchell as i dont think he'll be match ready, otherwise Hodgo and McCabe might get a look-in as part of the extended training squad.
