This could be a good game with the USA fancying themselves.
Morning fellas, muppits & moepels… & friends!
20 minutes to go till kick-off
Morning all, this is a bigger game for Aus than they previously expected. They need to put a big score on the board so as to re-assert themselves as favourites for a QF against us after yesterdays game. If they don’t, we will go in with a lot more confidence than we would have done prior to the WC
OK, shuffle up… 6 minutes to kick-off!
