Ian Martin tragic
Bencher
Was at the Engl v Straya game. Finally got to see us beat the poms at something (been a grim few years across the sports). Burgess: was looking for a ball spilling hit and came in swinging that forearm hard. More like 3-4 wks in the NRL, but rules are always pretty lax in international judiciaries.
Samoa sticking it to Nz for 20 mins straight was beautiful. I don't think kiwis had the ball the whole time except to lose it immediately for Samoan tries. SBW: thank you you made my tournament, even if you blokes end up winning it we still have this.
Hasson played strong off the bench, but why wouldn't he be starting for Ireland? they needed him from the get go. Fiji will let Straya know they're out there; better not take them lightly.
