I think there is still a lot of juice in this backing the underdog on the handicap.
I haven't done all the matches but I'm 6 wins from 7 at the moment with only Japan against Scotland letting me down. And that was probably a mistake taking just +16, which would have been a lot higher before the SA win. Scotland may have covered in any case.

8 out of 11 covers so far

bit trickier to cover with 4 day turnarounds from game 2 onwards though

Why do rugby teams announce their line ups so far in advance of the match?

48 Hours beforehand

obviously compared to football this is way in advance, not most sports though?

NFL teams don't even name their starting line up.

Baseball, a couple of hours, same with basketball.

Cricket is the morning of the match.

48 hours seems uniquely early.

I thought the starting pitcher was named fairly early in baseball.

The pitcher is (although it is subject to change).

The entire lineup isn't know til just before the first pitch.

better defence?

with joseph out he is left to pick from barritt, burgess and slade in the midfield

really has no choice but to go battering ram and play it tight. thats farrell

ford with joseph is a far more threatening combo, but possibly not a game for that

should be a one score game?

All of this.

Makes far more sense to play 12 man rugby in this game and that's Farrell's job.

I worry about Farrells game intelligence tbh.

You're right about Joseph though, I think if he plays, Ford plays.

Probably a one score game.

Looking forward to seeing Mike Brown again. Good for Wales that L. Williams back at 15 and a fan as well of his namesake in the centres. Actually the more I think about that, the more I think Farrell makes sense.

As you were...*ahem*
