I had to laugh when Moore had a go at Green and Gold Rugby for the use of the word 'arrogance'. And then proceeded to write a column in which he bagged an Australian customs officials for having the temerity to check an Englishman's bag....which turned out to contain undeclared items. I mean...

I was given two tickets to the match today and so far everyone I know in London who would be interested is either away for the weekend or already going. Does anyone want it?

Marler looks like that overgrown kid in year 5 that sat at the back of the classroom throwing stuff at people and drawing all over his arms.

3. Pocock 2. Sio 1. Kepu

I was nervous as hell all week about this game. I expected an English backlash and was talking down our chances at work. Then this morning, out for breakfast, I happened to sit at a table next to Michael Cheika. He seemed so relaxed and happy. I wished him the best of luck. I walked away...

Also, Genia. Just clear the ball from the back quickly. Gregan used to annoy me as well with his pick it up and take a few steps before passing. Puts enormous pressure on the team.

I just can't work out why we kept kicking the ball away, especially when we were behind. Why not run it from the back? Even Cooper kicked the ball away when we had a 4 on 2. The Kiwi commentators couldn't work it out either. Also, I only remember Folau getting the ball once apart from the...

So it takes an All Black player to give the ball to Folau

Folau needs to go looking for the ball

On the subject of who will play at 10: Everyone has been expecting Link to name Cooper, then there is a leak that it is going to be To'omua. Maybe this means it's going to be Foley. Link, the wily old fox.

I'm on edge here as an expat living in the UK. Will be watching the game tomorrow surrounded by Poms. I'll be wearing the old school wallabies jersey with pride though. Is anyone else nervous about the Lions coming out and surprising us by throwing the ball around and running it? It could catch...

I hope you're right. I think if we get our best players on the park then we've got a pretty good chance. If our forwards can gain parity I'm confident we'll do it. I'm more worried about who the coach will be. Although Deans' record against Gatland isn't too shabby, this won't be Wales that...

You're right. The trait itself isn't English. But I think the English take it further than everyone else. You need only watch them each time the football world cup rolls around. The way so many people turn on their own players when they get knocked out is absolutely vicious.

Yep, they love him. But I think it's just a typically English kind of sporting 'love'. They'll jump on the band wagon and build him up and hero-worship him endlessly. Until one day when he stuffs up or loses form and then he'll be treated like dirt.

Group of death.
