Wildkard is a crack up but good on him for being passionate about rugby and a hardcore Aussie supporter.

This world has become all too passionless. I really respected him for crying about that performance.

Awesome ...passion !
This tournament has begun to highlight the inadequacies of coaching worldwide. Foster and Borthwick two glaring examples of it.

Foz never had any coaching talent in him.
Fiji will go as far as semi finals
Agreed. Fiji deserves tier 1. People were saying England is currently bad which is why Fiji lost but they beat Argentina and a good Samoan team and obliterated Chile.
What I would be trying to take away from the game against Namibia is that the ABs conceded 12 penalties. It just so happens that Namibia couldn't win their own set piece. The reason the ABs were pinned in their own half at Twickenham is because they were up against a side that *could* win its own set piece and that used the lineout to force two yellows on the ABs. Every game so far, the ABs have conceded over 10 penalties, while Ireland, France and the Boks have been keeping it well below.
Let's be honest, england are the single most uninspiring rugby team in the entire history of the game. And already the fans are starting, after two terrible wins, to pump them up for the inevitable fall.

That's the England we all love 😆😆😆😆
The Boks would have hit a hundred if not for the torrential rain for twenty minutes.
If Samoa can’t make out of the pool this game calls for no arms in the tackles as the officials deserve it .
ABs lack of discipline and stupid tackling is frustrating. WTF is wrong with this team?

It comes from the top, so Foz he is clueless. We hear every game they've learnt. Well, what I've learned from that is that they don't learn.
I generally ignore the podcast for the simple reason you make use of Chris Jones who still has not apologized for his brain-dead remark after 2019 about the asterisk behind the Bok’s triumph. Then the English still wonder why they are the most hated lot in the competition, or any sport for that matter. Old Eddy is an absolute crowd favorite compared to the likes of Chris (and Owen Farrell).
Japan has a lot of imports. They are not Japanese players.
Everyone has improved… The world has moved on. All blacks are just another team, the make believe contrived mystique has left the room… Ireland and Boks head and shoulders above everyone else… the sleeping giant Fiji has awoken.
Japan was catching 100 points in 1995... Fiji was getting smashed. Argentina were rubbish Time and money fixed those team
