So we got the poms in the quarters. I'd be surprised if we got within 15 points to be quite frank.

Still NZ's trophy.

I agree. However, french ref and knock out rugby could provide some interesting moments.

Hoping the POM's win, so we don't have to listen to the Aussie coach whinging anymore!

Do you think that will stop them? They're still having a cry over us winning the cricket world cup.

I don't think Cheika gives a stuff about the cricket, let alone the world cup.

As for whingeing, The Poms are still the World Champs.

Recent aussie cricket and rugby fans have proved that isn't correct.

Recovery time (distance between games). I only ever played 2 games of rugby and I was absolutely knackered and considered football much easier to recover from.

And your aussie coach didn't. Jones looks very happy to be coaching the English team, by the look on his face after the last game. :lol:

2-1?
World Cup Rugby trophy count.

Bit like 5-1 when it comes to ODI cricket.

Japan came back to earth with a thud - but you have to give them credit for getting as far as they did.

Your last one was 20 years ago. You've been destroyed by England in rugby and OD cricket.

I know we're crap. But really there are no second prizes when it comes to world cups.

Good luck, you'll need it v All Blacks. :wink:

I think we can push them, I don't think we will won though. This semi final will be tougher than the final. Wales aren't playing as well as they can.

You're right though, second place is just first loser BUT I'd rather be in the semi final than at home.
