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.Michael wrote:God is an Englishman wrote:Bomber wrote:So we got the poms in the quarters. I'd be surprised if we got within 15 points to be quite frank.

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.

Re: Rugby World Cup
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.In the way wrote:is this still going ? no coverage of free to air tv for a while I thought it was over - why does it take so long ?

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

I know we're crap. But really there are no second prizes when it comes to world cups.B.Toomer wrote:You're only as good as your last game.....and you were crapp in both.
Good luck, you'll need it v All Blacks. :wink:

Re: Rugby World Cup
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.Bomber wrote:I know we're crap.

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