The early results so far have more or less been as expected...I garner a little (just a little) more interest cometh the knockout stages.

The official All blacks Rugby World Cup song

I dragged this up from the 2007 RWC thread, still funny

Press Release!!!

International Rugby Board (IRB) Rugby World Cup 2011
Following complaints to the IRB about the All Blacks being allowed to motivate themselves by performing the Haka before their games, other nations were asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own. The IRB Rugby World Cup 2011 Organizing Committee has now agreed to the following pre-match displays:

1) The England team will chat about the weather, wave hankies in the air and attach bells to their ankles before moaning about how they invented the game and gave it to the world, but no one appreciates them.

2) The Scotland team will chant You lookin at me Jimmy?before each of them smash a bottle of beer over their opponents heads.

3) The Ireland team will split into two, with the Southern half performing a Riverdance, while the Northerners march the Traditional route from their dressing room to the pitch, via their opponents dressing room.

4) Unfortunately the Committee was unable to accept the Welsh proposal to form a choir and sing Tom Jones It Not Unusual.

5) Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition territory, claim it as their own Las In-Goals-Areas and have to be forcibly removed by the match stewards.

6) Two members of the South African team will claim to be more important than the other 13 whom they will imprison between the posts. These two will then go about selecting the best parts of the pitch to settle on and claim that they have been there for centuries.

7) The Americans will not attend until almost full time. In future years they will amend the records to show that they were in fact the most important team in the tournament and Hollywood will make a blockbuster film called Saving Flanker Ryan.

8) Five of the Canadian team will sing La Marseillaise and hold the rest of the team to ransom.

9) The Italian team will arrive in Armani gear, sexually harass the female officials and then prepare pasta dishes, which they will flog to the crowd for a fortune.

10) The Japanese will shock fans buy demonstrating how to capture a whale for scientific research buy harpooning an opposition prop.

11) The French wont have a pre-match display and will simply hide in fear in the dressing room for the whole match.

12) The Australians will have a BBQ on their side of the field and invite the opposition over before the game. The food and alcohol will be in abundance and by the start of the game no-one will remember what they came to the stadium for. After some streaking, the singing of dirty songs and the occasional chunder everyone will go home thoroughly convinced it was a bloody good night.

13) The Moroccan team will quietly pray during the first half and then launch suicide attacks against the opposition after the break. Unfortunately, this strategy works well for the fi rst game only, after which Morocco is forced to withdraw from the Rugby World Cup due to lack of players.

14) Samoa will prepare a huge feast in the middle of the pitch by digging a large hole and filling it with burning embers. They invite the opposition over by saying, We like to have you for dinner. Its only when the opposition get to

the pit that they realize there is no meat and that they are the dinner!

Hopefully, with these policies now in place, further problems is this area of the game should cease to exists.

Regards,
Syd Miller
IRB Chairman

A shame.
No more than approximations, 80 minutes of playing fetch with the Japanese, while we should have been able to swat them like cockroaches if we were "ready". We've got luck. And the Japanese pack has a future.
We should be able to get a 10/15/20 at best, with 50 or more for the NZ against whom we'll play on the 24.

TarJak · 09-10-11, 03:28 AM

Well the Falklands War replay is about to start. Good luck to the poms.

Looks like there has been a few frights for some of the more fancied teams with Scotland trailing Romania for most of the first half and the scores level with 5 mins to go. I reckon they got out of jail there.

Alex · 09-10-11, 03:40 AM

Best of luck, yep, the Pumas are in shape actually.

TarJak · 09-10-11, 04:05 AM

25 mins in an the Puma's lead 6-3

England not playing well at all from what I've seen.

True and now a man in the sin bin

Alex · 09-10-11, 04:28 AM

Contepomi's out, at least, and that's a thorn stuck on the Pumas' feet.

Jimbuna · 09-10-11, 05:08 AM

Not looking good at all....so why am I not suprised?

TarJak · 09-10-11, 05:24 AM

Looks like England have escaped defeat with a late try to Youngs and a penalty goal from Li'l Johnny.

I reckon they were lucky, but TBH the Puma's had problems getting across the line.

Jimbuna · 09-10-11, 05:37 AM

Lucky lucky lucky England
