Rugby World Cup

[God is an Englishman]

NZ
SA
Australia
England/Wales (pretty tight between those two)
Ireland
France
Falklands runners up

Maybe next World Cup.

You asked how I ranked them, not how they performed at a world cup

I didn't ask you anything of the sort. I did say that we deserved to be in the top 4 - and what is this topic about?

I must have misunderstood what you meant then.

Apology accepted

Apology accepted

I didn't see any apology, but I will except your apology for not typing in clear English and therefore leaving what you meant up to personal interpretation

My typing has been in clear English all the way through, but feel free to enrol in my next seminar on how to win at Internet if you want to keep up.

It's not clear as there are two possible interpretations

I won't spoil it for you later risers.

There were only two people in the pub supporting Australia. I was one of them and the other was an American

I'd have thought most in the pub would have wanted Australia to win that one.

[Bomber]

Fact is, we did and my final prediction (or rather hope) has come about.

Best 2 teams in it. Kiwis to win it for mine, but hope we put up a good show and you just never know. Still think I might be down a case of beer after this one.

I suggested "How quickly you've forgotten The Falklands", but it would appear people here have very short memories.

With all due respect maradona's hand of god was a bigger sin than the Malvinas Islands dispute.

No doubt the aussies have rode their luck this cup but fair play to them, they still had to go out and do the hard work. They’ve earned their spot and who knows, the rate they’ve been getting away with mistakes they may just pull it off.

My eldest was keen to let me know that 5 major finals this year, cricket ODI, rugby league, rugby union, netball (& can’t remember the other one) have been aussie v kiwi contested. Credit where it's due I suppose

I was thinking more wood chopping or sheep shearing.

Well done Wallabies, good show all tournament and at least look like a team on the up under Cheika.

NZ worthy winners, clearly the best. Cost me a box of beer, but my trifecta win on Saturday more than makes up for that.

Izzy Folau. WTF? I suppose social issues can be more important than plying your trade in some cases. Hmmmm.... and not far away from next World Cup............

Probably not a smart move by Izzy when you look at who is the in charge of Qantas (who is Rugby Australia's major sponsor).

Their is NOTHING wrong with his tweet based on the teaching of Christianity.
He listed a range of behaviours that have always been considered as requiring redemption prior to entering heaven.
I am sure many recognise it for what it was ( a doctrinal statement) and loads of people would agree with at least some of it.
After all, don't we teach our kids not to lie and steal? We don't encourage drunkenness not adultery nor a range of other behaviours in our friends and family.
Naturally, no one complained about the mentions of drunks and adulteres, even though there a re legions of them, but the reference to homosexuals sparked an avalanche of outage from the PC brigade.
The rainbow activist who all but threatened to pull Qantas sponsorship if Folau wasn't sanctioned. That's his right, just like he can enter into business deals with the most anti-homosexual Islamic nations on earth. However, the contrasting attitude does raise some questions as to the consistency of his personal outrage and Qantas shareholders money.
Regrettably, social activists rarely have the consistency gene, choosing instead to back the tribe over the principle.

You may not agree with him, he is entitled to his own opinion.
He hasn't sought to hurt anyone, nor has he advocated violence.

I thought Australia was the country of freedom of speech????


Unfortunately, without him, Australia has no chance at this world cup!

All Blacks a bit wobbly with a World Cup coming up. Might make it more interesting.

They'll still win it. Home advantage and an extra man certainly helped.

[Rookie]

All blacks just toying at the moment

[Michael]

So the Aussies falter, quite embarrassing to be honest.
I guess the All blacks are favourites, now?

When weren't they the favourites?

[Bomber]

So, this about to start soon.

Main threats - NZ, Saffers, Micks and Taffs.
On their day - Poms, Frogs and Wallabies
Huge odds - Jocks, Argies
Even bigger odds - Samoans, Grosso's lot
Forget the rest
