Re: Rugby World Cup
Awesome defensive performance.
Give the Taffs a two man advantage and they still can't cross the line
I'm on the bandwagon

Now, if you're lucky, you could hack through your ankle in five minutes.

Re: Rugby World Cup
Shackle draggers have an easy route to the final now as well. NZ not looking like the force they have been either.

Re: Rugby World Cup
Cant see our lot being at full tilt either, although our second string side should cope if they needed to.
That said, sport can throw up unusual occasions, so not talking it up too much as the Jocks have been more than nuisance value in recent tests against the Wallabies.

Re: Rugby World Cup
As no one has posted in this for almost two days is it safe to assume the tournament has finished, or is that only for England?

Re: Rugby World Cup
A bloke walked into a pub in England, there was an Aussie, a Scot, An Irishman, a Frenchman, an Argie, a Saffer..............sounds like a joke at first, but it's really just about a meeting of people who are still in the World Cup....B.Toomer wrote:There's a team of Fijian/ Tongan/ Samoan rejects kitted out in yellow shirts complete with grass stains still there, so plenty of riff raff.

Re: Rugby World Cup
Surely it's only whingeing when it's justified - terrible display by the ref which handed australia the win. Everyone in the ground knew he had got that wrong (including him)Mad_Max wrote:Bloody hell the Jocks are almost as a bigger whingers as the Poms

Re: Rugby World Cup
Another real time incident viewed and distorted in slow motion, this time in rugby by the kiwi video ref. Result scotsman wrongly sent from field for deliberate knock on and aussies score, diabolical miscarriage of justice after the fact. In a world cup QF and all, no excuse for that to happen. As for that call at the end, no wonder the saffer ref legged it once he blew the whistle.

Re: Rugby World Cup
4 teams from southern hemisphere left. Another "4 nations mini-tournament" left.
At least the northern hemisphere countries might learn something.

Re: Rugby World Cup
argentina are the surprise for me, they keep getting to the semis but they're not very good.
scotland also a shock as well, terrible rugby side who should have beaten australia but for south african intervention.

Re: Rugby World Cup
Wont be easy. Still think the Kiwis are (almost) un-backable favourites. Maybe Lidon's mob could cause an upset first?God is an Englishman wrote:Going to be one of the few times I will want australia to win in rugby in the semis.Bomber wrote:4 teams from southern hemisphere left.
