It's the best f**ken team list in a generation. Not the players? Give me a break.

Yeah. Nuthin to worry about. The perfect preparation.

 

[roughyedspud]

its far from perfect pal....

he should'nt still be experimenting with the 1st team a week before the biggest game for 5 years..

he should have started the italy game with his 17 thats gonna take the field next week...

and give the likes of widdop a full game at 6 for the knights against samoa....not 10mins at 6 then 15mins at fullback...

McNamarra is f**king clueless

This

He f***** around with the team that much it was hard to get into. None of the crowd seemed interested because of it and the whole place was flat.

Wow wasn't expecting this result after seeing what was happening to Samoa first.

Obviously a confidence booster for Italy but have they pretty much already played their grand final and took this game more serious than what they will in the pool games??

If England didn't start how they want to against Australia first up, things could get very ugly for them game 1. Though you'd imagine they may be slightly more organised as Australia don't have any warm up games

Did Widdop root your Mrs or something? He's an integral part of one of the best club sides in a generation (yes, they cheated for a portion) in a position your team is weak in (halves) and you don't want him selected? McNamara is fine, it's YOU who is clueless.

Isn't experimentation what friendlies are for?

 

[joshie]

Anyone know if the local Italian media has written stories?

Looks like all the jizz from souths fans and channel nine has fallen from the sky.

exiles games are for experimentation....

last season tri series against wales and france was a chance to try out "options"


not the game before the world cup!

 

[deluded pom?]

GB lost to PNG in 1996?

Didn't the Kiwis also lose a game to PNG?

how does me saying i want widdop to get a full game at 6 equate to me not wanting him selected?

him playing full game at 6 against samoa,and starring,would put pressure on the 1st choice halves...him playing a few minutes in different positions proves absolutely f**k all!!

idiot!

If Australia don't win the first game by 20 I'd be very surprised.

If we had played and lost against that Italy side and even if we used our whole squad rotating each player every 10 minutes or something I'd be very very worried.

we did'nt play PNG in 1996....


played fiji & won then lost 3-0 to nz



1990 we drew a series in PNG 1-1
