@kpe12 - was a bit tongue in cheek. Do think if France fired and NZ werent on their game, they'd turn them over, even in Auckland.

Again, must ask... yes, Georgia have a 32.5 handicap, but that's only on Betfair, and the odds are a massive 1.03... the actual highest proper handicap offered is 22, so what about comeing down one side or the other of that?

p.s. where exactly are you finding 45.5 on England - Scotland?? The books have just opened and the total point line varies from under 38 to under 41.5.

England -v- Scotland, and your tip is 'weather could be poor'? not sure that'll be a factor... They're playing indoors in Otago stadium, are they not? :-P

Its not even that, the articles are all biased. Whats worse is the photos are actually the ones taken from Sky Sports.com. Even the opinions, sorry articles are Skysports-ish. I propose changing this site name from planetrugby.com to opinatedrugby.com

I rate Ireland as a team highly, yet as a betting man they are blowing too hot and cold - same as the French - hence no bets advised. I think they have a fantastic mix of youth and experience but can occasionally struggle to find form, especially recently. If Italy were favourites for this game with the bookies, you'd have found a 5 paragraph rant about why you should back Ireland, believe me !

hougiebear speaks the truth: we are fed up with this patronising, superior tone used by PR writers the rare times Ireland are mentioned. Allez les Verts!

My favorite comment, "NZ can be destroyed," was something on your mind when you were writing that for the French?

I agree with hougiebear here in relation to the columns and articles, Ireland get very poor level of coverage on planet rugby, despite the high number of Irish posters. Theres definitely no Irish contributors on the site, am I wrong? Actually, I'd be interested to know where the various contributors are from? Any chance? Having said that, Bens entitled to his opinion on the outcome of matches so I've no issue there. I would point out though that the Irish team that faced Russia is very different to the one you'll see this weekend. 10 changes and 1 positional switch I reckon.

PlanetRugby doesn't rate Ireland much do they? They don't mention us in the columns or articles outside of the Ireland Team news and when they do its usually leaning towards the negative. I hope Ireland stuff the Italians on Sunday, sick of this Ireland are weak malarky. We bullied and dominated the Australians, we should be able to do the same to the Italians. If we can't then we don't deserve to be in the QFs
