  2. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Self explanatory pool
     
  3. Notsure SM Green

    Easily most boring pool at the cup.
     
  4. BigGuns DA Astele

    This is a shit pool.
     
  5. BigGuns DA Astele

  6. Starris ER Starris

    Not much to discuss here.
     
  7. Fiery GR Smith

    The ABs could run up 150 points v Namibia and Georgia.

    Making my debut at Olympic Stadium for the Namibia game.
     
  8. Notsure SM Green

    No chance of doing that against Georgia. Against Namibia you probably wont run out your full strength team.
     
  9. Fiery GR Smith

    We ran out a 2nd XV against Japan in 95 and scored 145.

    Georgia and Namibia would get annihilated by an ITM Cup side...let's face it.

    150 might be an exaggeration but 100 is defo on the cards.

    Kidding yourself if you think 2nd tier rugby hasn't come on in 20 years.

    All easy wins but 150 points doesn't happen any more
     
  11. Fiery GR Smith

    Fair comment, Howe.

    Georgia probably slightly better than I'm giving them credit for tbf.

    But if the ABs really "bring it" to that game, the scoreline could get pretty ugly.

    I reckon our for and against will be F242 A25 by the end of pool play.
     
  14. Notsure SM Green

    Rugby has moved on a lot in the past 20 years. I think you underestimate Georgia a lot if you put them in the same category as Namibia. Ireland beat Georgia last year 49-7 and Tonga could only beat them 23-9. The majority of their squad plays professional in France and they always win the European Rugby Championship. They are streets ahead of Namibia. You'll probably put 70 on Georgia and probably over 100 on Namibia.

    Namibia aren't that bad.

    Will lose by 50 points only to most top tier teams, and to the ABs by at most 70 and that is if we really really hit our straps and click on the day.
     
  16. Notsure SM Green

    You beat the USA by about 70 points and Namibia are way worse than the USA. Depends on the day though.
     
  17. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    USA laid an egg against us and were star struck. Had you put black jerseys on the Aussie team you would have scored as many.
     
  18. Squeaks ZW Poole

    It's unlikely but wouldn't put it past Tonga to beat Argentina, they beat France last WC.
     
  19. Droos JP Rhodes

    Easiest pool by far.
     
  20. Starris ER Starris

    What was the highest score racked up at the last RWC?

    I don't remember any massive scores above 100.
