You've jinxed it now!

I know. Oh well.

I'm still bitter about being at Twickenham for that loss in the 2015 World Cup pool stage.

My main complaint about the team stems from the "I wouldn't start from here".

Given the EPS, and last week's team, there's not really much to complain about, and most of that is Dombrandt, with the rest being rusty players.

Am I the only one that really couldn't care less about this game?. All a win would do is paper over the cracks for a week until SA inevitably swat us aside comfortably. Last week was the game we had to win and we blew it. I think we will win but I almost want the Wallabies to go 14-0 up early so that we are forced to play positive rugby to get back in the game.

I just wanna see a good match as I won't be able to watch the South Africa match live.

That or we decide to just grind it out even harder to try to win. It's endlessly infuriating though when you see England can play fast, expansive rugby when they choose to, which implies the fact we don't is a conscious decision and not down to an inability to do so.

Some reason find it really funny how they bothered to change OL and Slade's number around

According to the Telegraph, it was a request from the players.

Dropping Ben Curry is so dumb

Somebody had better tell the BBC.
