Well done Ireland!

They must have a good team to beat Aussie, be one to watch out for. Never watched the game just heard about the score last night.

Sets up some interesting equations for the finals. If AUS beats SAF in the quarters, then they will most likely meet NZL in the semi's. That will leave a Northern himisphere side a likely slot in the final.

A better performance from England beating the mighty Georgia 41-10

Not so bad performance from France (even if the team didn't look that convincing during most of the match) getting the bonus point win against Canada a few hours ago, 46-19, though I expected that job to be a lot easier than it was.

Next week, New Zealand.

I'd settle for that but I think it unlikely.

Time will tell.

Looks like the kiwis are not happy with France's selection decisions: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/un...921-1kk9l.html

Sadly this is what happens when the future positions are pre-determined and open to a certain level of manipulation.

I'd rather they put all those who qualified into a hat and draw them out like it is done for the FA Cup for example.

That's the least of my worries, did you read the story on how some of our all black fans have been treating the aussie fans - targetting from day one of the WC, abuse, spat on etc, its like what the hell its a game guys life still goes on once its over, though maybe not for some. Shocking stuff. Reminds me of the time when we lost the world cup to SA I think or was it France, anyway John Hart was the coach- when he came home he was spat on in the streets, and his family threaten, for months he had to have a police escort to work.

I know NZ and Aussie have been at each other for decades now over rugby but its kind of sad & embarrassing when its gets to the spitting stages. Where's the love man!

Had some free time today in the morning, so I've been watching South Africa - Namibia. An unexpected chance for Namibia to try their luck against the reigning world champions. That was not serious for the Sud-Af', but at least they've got to give a lesson to everybody.

Regarding NZ - France : The french selection remains on the defensive now. When we get to face them, it's just as if I didn't support anyone, same as when we're playing against Australia, South Africa, England or Ireland : because even if we happen to lose, at least the lesson will remain, that's the most important thing.
The NZ is tough.

And the angry NZ should be an even better opponent.
French trainers better get plaster casts of everything ready, handkerchieves are going to turn red.

Can I say I'm eagerly awaiting this match ?

kiwi_2005 · 09-22-11, 02:08 PM

South Africa v Namibia. What a thrashing.

TarJak · 09-22-11, 10:52 PM

The big one between the USA and Australia is on tonight. Hope we put up a better performance than against the Irish. Go Wallabies!

Alex · 09-23-11, 06:25 AM

Australia - US of A : 67 - 5.
A match looking much like South Africa - Namibia (87 - 0), in fact.
Yet well-organised, that North-American team is techniqueless. Unsurprising from start to finish.

TarJak · 09-23-11, 06:31 AM

Shame about the injury toll. The knock Fainga took to the head looked nasty. Hope he's going to be OK.

The US were tough competitors and not bad with the ball in hand, but as you say, lacking in technique.
