^^^^^^^ would if I could but sadly you lost me capability-wise at "Good idea"...

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Have your previous Blog Articles been "ghost published"?

I did enjoy reading your RWC 15 articles that Mr X published for you.

HJ, I must confess: I have been glory-running off the good offices of (at least) Lee Grant, Sully & Oztimmay. Worse & despite repeated (mostly half-arsed) attempts I've never actually personally managed to produce anything meaningful from WordPress. No one else needs to know, though, m'kay?

Mason injured? Will be a test for Jooste against Perofeta. Haven't seen the Aus Scotland game, but on previous form I'd have thought Leota is better value at 6 than ASY (Angus Scott-Young).

Should be a cracker.

Mason injured?

Yes.

Mason fractured his hand in Australia's big win over Scotland in the fifth-place semi-finals, with his loss a major blow for the side.

So Ah-mu has flown out there as part of the full squad, but will leave with 0 minutes of gametime. Good job.

 

[Forcefield]

And if a player or two were injured during the captain's run?

It sounds stupid, but these things happen. Didn't AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) get called in to the Wallabies 22 in 2005 in Perth at the ground? Word has it he was a few bites into a meat pie. Flatley was showing signs of concussion and I think something else happened.

So Ah-mu has flown out there as part of the full squad, but will leave with 0 minutes of gametime. Good job.

Ed Craig and Harry Chapman were late reinforcements. Ed Craig warmed the pine against Scotland, and will ride the pine again tonight. Chapman will join Ah-Mu on a UK holiday excursion. If Craig doesn't get on he will join the "tourists".

Do they get QANTAS frequent flyer points? UK return trip should get enough FF (Folau Fainga'a) points for a free trip to NZL.

Wow - Argentina up 44-19 over SA in the battle for third.

27 unanswered points in the 2nd half, with a few mins remaining.

 

[kiap]

Final score ARG 49-19 RSA.

Conversion missed in injury time would've put the 50 on them. Blimminell.

Early minutes, Aus scrum on top

 

[kiap]

NZ score, via Tu'u ... 7-0 at 8 mins

 

[kiap]

Ball through the hands on counter attack - Aussies run it in from 50m plus. Magnay in the RH corner.

 

[kiap]

Jooste kicks from the sideline 7-all at 12 mins

 

[kiap]

NZ 8. Tu'u off for Moala-Liava'a

 

[kiap]

NZ reply and score RH corner. Moala-Liava'a nearly botched it but backed up to pick and go over. Barrett kicks it to 14-7 at 16 mins

 

[kiap]

Good Aus defennsive effort but they eventually concede the try to Quinten Strange. 19-7 at 20 mins k.t.c. - converted to 21-7
