Default Skippy to kick Aussie to victory in RWC

The Wallabies desperate for a decent kicker have made the massive decision to bring Skippy out of retirement
Known for always giving the opposition a good rear ending Skippys magical boot can bring the wallabies their ultimate prize in this world cup.. a semi final place..ouch

It's a little known fact, but they've tried this before and it didn't work. Either the Skippy jumped tackles dangerously, stuffed the ball down its pouch and got pinged for cheating or got the ball ripped out of its undeveloped upper limbs by the opposition defence

I heard they play him at hooker: nobody could understand him though, the whole line-out just kept saying:

"What's that Skippy?"

Wallabies need all the help they can get at the moment.

They played dreadfully today and did'nt deserve to win. How can a side fall so far in 4 years. It's sad to watch.

they weren't that good 4 years ago in some ways.

England now are playing the same - quite old players strong on defence with a midfield talisman - read Greenwood for Horan etc

The team that won the 1999 RWC and 2000-2001 Tri Nations won games in the final 5-10 mins on self belief and pressure.

Its the same way this England team will win the World Cup IF they do....(!) and with all those injuries it is looking less likely...
