Best 2nd Tier Team of the Day.

Most of the top players are plucked into the NH club comps.

Yeah good point - I guess you'd need to have some sudden influx of money in to the game like happened with Russian soccer and ice hockey.

Canada
Samoa
Romania
USSR

If the above teams keep getting exposure to world rugby the 2015 and 2019 world cups could be very interesting
Sorry to disapoint many but I would love to see the Force ahve friendlies in Perth with the above clubs. Would give our guys the prep like the Samoa tour that just happened.. The force went away under dogs and came home proud.. So lets get Canada here for our practise matches

Comngrads to the minows for suppling the best rugby of the RWC so far

Georgia by a hundred miles. If there's a "Muppet of the Day", Kaplan by even further. 6 ruck infringements and two warnings early on and no card for England. Took 40 minutes to get around to it but from then on England apparently became angels. They went on to earn 14 penalties while the Brave Georgians only managed one more.

This effort was another example of his propensity to interpret the ruck according to which team he views as the stronger.

I was wondering WTF happened there - I had to head out at half time when the score was 17-10 with Georgia looking like they have what to takes to cause an upset ...
