Well who else have the got?  There's a bloke at my work from NZ who is good at 5s.  Pretty sure he's been considered at some point. 

They've got Chris Wood up front, who is pretty decent. After him & Winston Reid, your mate probably isn't too far down their shortlist.

Italy have only failed to reach the World Cup once before in all history. That was in 1958 when their group ended Northern Ireland 5pts, Italy 4pts, Portugal 3pts. They won both home games but lost both away games, whereas the Northern Irish got a draw away to Portugal.

Funnily enough they actually drew in Belfast - which would've won Italy the group - but it was declared a friendly as the appointed referee's flight was stopped by fog.

It's a penalty, imo. He's gone to block, while turning away and leading with his arm. You do that, and it hits your arm, it's probably going to be a penalty.

I'd accept that's at the harsher end of interpretation, and there's room for disagreement on that. But at very worst it's a borderline decision - some of the "worst decision ever" comments, not least from O'Neill, are ludicrous.

He could have led with his dick for all that matters.

The ball hit him  his back.

Don't ever consider being a Referee.

Good result for Australia in Honduras. Now just hope they don't f**k it up in Sydney on Wednesday.

Actually played really well this game, and a clean sheet to take home. Just unlucky with that one on one in the first half.

Well it's all set up for that magical forehead to set us up for another world cup FB_IMG_1510358705564.jpg

Good performance from Australia but disappointing not to win the match. Honduras really are a bad team.

Australia desperately need a striker. Juric just cannot hit the target and when Cahill plays, the whole team plays worse. But he's the only one who can actually score...
