By the sounds of it, maybe it's a good thing that my flatmate is watching her crap movie instead of the league!

That 2nd half was terrible, Nathan fien had an absolute shocker, Isaac Luke needs to come back in straight away, no direction as usual from Thomas, seemed like sa only came on in the last 15 mintes which seemed a bit strange. However won�t deny aussie-far too good

The Scottish side (who will win it) don't have a single player born in Scotland in the whole team!!!!!
I'm taking it, from your username, that you were born in Scotland?
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I watched most of that game, and two things struck me:
1) It's a truly dreadful game. Really, just terrible.
2) We really suck at it.

Thought most of the points we conceded were self inflicted,
indiscipline in giving away penalties and handling errors in our own
half.
Just had a look at the group's and tournament structure, suppose they did it to stop having lots of blowout games. But doesn't really work well, PNG are ranked 7th and are in Pool A... Tonga 4th, France 5th and Fiji 6th.. why PNG
3 teams out of 'A' go through to Semi's, and top two qualifiers of 'B' and 'C' play for the last

Tonga 22-20 Ireland
Looked like Ireland were going to win it before the Tongan's grabbed a late try. Was very disappointed.

We aint got a sh*t show in hell against the Convicts based on that performance last night. England fought well though and kept coming back but both teams were rubbish and made far too many unforced errors to even entertain the idea of beating Aussie.
Three for me, and two for them.

I don't think we can beat Aussie no matter how well we play.

Without those boys in the Aussies it will make it easier to watch us beat them!

We are in the game so we have a chance but it isn't a good chance. The only thing that suggests to me we have a chance is that we beat them once every ten and we haven't beaten them since 05, basically we are due

Brisbane is bracing itself for another torrid evening on Saturday
night, with the weather bureau forecasting winds of at least 90km/h and
possible hail for the 8:00pm (AEST) kick-off.

Think it'll be Aus by plenty, I'm afraid!
Mind you, you can dull the pain by playing the Benji Marshall drinking game. Every time he knocks on or drops the ball, you have to scull a drink. Guaranted to have you absolutely sh*tfaced by half-time.

A better drinking game Jag is where you take a drink everytime Ropo pronounces an 'R' as a 'W'. Passed out by half time. Dead by full.
Three for me, and two for them.

and some of that hail can be viscious- think the rain that had the water up to car windows in a couple of hours (ie a lot of it ) but solid and the size of golf balls...
so I've been told...

Or have the cliche list on hand and scull one every time Costo trots one out:
Stacks on the mill
He's lost the handle
Shut the gate
Put the glasses down
The boy from (any obscure Australian outback town)
The one they call (any stupid obscure nickname)
Can also use Ropo classics such as:
You talk about a football side who..........
