Dan Carter might be out of Saturday's encounter due to a calf injury.

Even if he does play, the key battle with be in the air between himself and Shane Williams. Hope Shine roughens up that calf a little Cool

So it kicks off tomorrow...

England v Australia (haven't seen that for a while...ahem)

Wales v New Zealand (odds on a NZ win, but it'll be a close shout IMO)

I'll get the old chestnut, "I don't follow rugby".

I didn't even know Carter was a cattle farmer, let alone an abuser.

As for S Williams getting in on the act - shame on him. Aren't sheep good enough any more?

I'll give you that one. It's Wales and New Zealand, surprised no-one else has reeled out the cattle prodding jokes.

Jonny Wilko opens England's account.

Drop goal. England were clean and effective in the opening minutes, according to 5 Live.

3-0

Jonny is on fire thus far.
