???? You brought it up after the fact and now you're trying to tell me to let it go for simply stating the facts you asked me to clarify? What in the actual fuck are you smoking Dan?

If you read the report you'd see they note that Eben attempts to reach for Mann's face and has his hand deflected away immediately before going again and this time hitting his mark: They also note that after the initial contact is broken by Mann and another South African player dragging him...

The framework as applied for those interested: This is probably more an issue with the graphic simplifying things here, but it's very funny to me that an eye gouge is not classed as "head contact".

Looks like he picked up a bit of experience with Tattarang and Minderoo while at the Force, but has only been practicing for about a year. Seems to be framing himself as a sports lawyer though, so it might be that he is the face of it to generate a bit of noise for the firm. Foketi will...

Former NSW Country Rugby Union boss Stephen O’Brien has been charged with misappropriating a 6 figure sum while in the role...

He pretty clearly tries to get it done 2 or 3 times before finally connecting.

Most interesting thing about this whole story is that Foketi is being represented by Michael Wells (former Brumbies/tahs/Rebels/Force player). Overall it sounds like Foketi screwed up in not properly taking leave or working this out via his manager first, and RA are probably being a bit heavy...

Rigged it against South Africa, clearly

They have, but I love a rivalry game like that in pool play. Also Georgia will be so focused on beating Italy that they might end up at risk to a Romanian team hell bent on beating them.

Would love to see Scott Sio do us a favour and lead Samoa to an upset over Japan, I think they'd be even less risk then Japan in that round of 16 game (assuming we're second in our pool).

I actually think the SA match up in Australia might be slightly better for us, but probably not by much.

England in the quarter will be tough, but get through it and that's a much easier semi.

It's not too bad given the tournament structure, and I think it means we likely won't see them in the knock outs until the end (if we both make it). More important to avoid a 3rd string that could pull off an upset.

NZ, Australia, Chile, Hong Kong Probably the hardest 1 seed, but easiest (close to) 3 and (definitely) 4 seed we could get.

Georgia v Romania is going to be a great pool game Italy and South Africa joining them, that's going to be scrum heavy pool
