Just in case someone has any interest or wants a (badly written) intro to the game for any friends who don't know rugby but are interested in watching the RWC

OK

I randomly read some of your stuff on the NHS as well, as an outsider with no clue it was pretty enlightening.

Thanks Yappy. Would be good to try and meet up with you guys again, now I'm a doctor and can afford to keep up with all the drinking!

Here's Pool B

Jeez CJ you'll get carpal tunnel syndrome, but you'll now be able to fix yourself.

I'm still not sure of that AA double tackle. He grabs both at the same time - surely he had to be obstructing or tackling one without the ball?

Amazingly it's not too much effort to manage both (not concurrently). Thanks for the input though, it was really useful

Great blogs! Your points are excellently put across and I agree with most of it. One small correction: Josh Strauss qualifies days after the RWC starts, but before any of Scotland's matches are actually played.

Good articles mate. OK

And yes we need to go out for drinks again, now that you're a Dr (eg loaded).

Misconception about my pay. Not "loaded" as a junior doctor, though I do fine. Better do it soon before I get an enforced 15-30% (nobody knows yet) pay cut from Hunt though!!!

Nice blogs.

ChequeredJersey's blog wrote:You’d think that Scotland, who had an awful 6 Nations and lost every match,and Samoa would be playing for second but it’s not beyond the realms of possibility for either to shock South Africa (The Springboks) and the “minnows” of the pool, Japan and the USA, have the capacity to upset Scotland and Samoa!

You were close with your predictions there. Think Pool B might become a pool where bonus points might see you through.
