Imagine if Samoa hadn't lost their Western bit.
Argentina played a piss poor Ireland performance imo meant that they did not have any
worries about the centres sending it out wide with risky move after risky move but totally let off by the paddies..australia may well beat them by over 30 points if Argies try same shtick..final aus v Nz and probably oz win..little barstrds that they are , id prefer the kiwis
And people laughed at me when I said South Africa
Unless they get in touch with the chef at the All Black hotel I strongly suspect that they won't make the final though
but WD on your Scotland predicition though as unlucky and i really didnt see it coming
i doff my hat and take back some earlier harsh critiscm
indeed they've not been very good..but then again England won WC by not being very good ..same as SA
against All blacks in SA world cup.. i just hope the teams playing the most exciting expansive rugby win this cup ( NZ or OZ) otherwise we just get another 4 years of hit, hit, scrum , scrum, hit *******s
ireland started as naively and badly as we did against ireland in dublin year or two ago
suicidle *******s it was againt an ok Argie team but nothing great,that was Irelands golden ticket and they traded it for some magic beans imo
I won't pretend to be massively disappointed.
I am actually from New Zealand.
After the first 5 mins I thought it was going to be another battering for
the North boys by the Aussies.
It turned out better than that.
You see, as much as I hate the dirty little southern hemisphere colonists, I reveled in the sound of 6 million sweaty hearts breaking as that kick went over. :hehe:
BOOM Scotland the Brave, specialists in failure since 1603
Few people did - though to be fair they came through
a group where they were able to rest players for the big game with South Africa. Think the tough match at the end proved costly for France and Ireland and possibly Wales and the Aussies felt it as well
Yep - Would rather Australia as it just keeps up the New zealand never having won outside
New Zealand line. Really winds them up :-)
especially if used with the word chokers i find

i just prefer them to aussies unfortunatly ..as see below I've just realised I'm a naturalised kiwi anyway :) come on you all blacks :-)
ive lived 4 years in NZ so in Rugby terms I can play for them so yup Im an All black now
I think they need to change the rules a bit. Far too many penalties which often decides a game.
3 pts is bollox as well, 2 I reckon and 7 for a try.
