Rugby World Cup

the English played a much better game. i was in a state of shock last night, it took a good half an hour (after the game) to accept we just got smashed of the field.  The turn around in the English confidence was amazing, these guys were underwhelming to start with, yet played with their hearts against us. The Aussies had no answers, didnt step it up a gear and basically got rolled.

 kind of feel better the kiwis are out as well though, don't want to be the only upset at this stage of the game.

Go Fiji!

geez weren't the south Africans happy they got it together in the last 15 or so minutes. The Fijians were almost too good and I like the way they play rugby

oh well im going for the Puma's now..

Well guys, we have our semi-finalists:

England vs. France
South Africa vs. Argentina

I must say it was a most entertaining quarter finals round. Last world cup I remember the English narrowed out the French in the semis, without managing to score a try.

Hi everyone.

no offense Eondt, the Boks are not a very popular team over here. this is from what i can tell with others i have talked to (me included) but thats my own observations not fact.

The English played ok on the day. i think everyones expectations of them have been very low, so when it came to play time it looked pretty good. Its was a surprising turn around and they deserve the match. My sarcastic pre match remark/sledging looks quite silly now.  The Aussies were just woeful, missed the Kiwi match.

..but the rivalry with the kiwis and the Aussies is over stated, its there but not that serious. Most of us like beating the English, even if they have rubbish teams, much more satisfying.

The England performance was good in many places, the pack were world class, but the midfield was still poor.

England 14 - 9 France



Oh yeah! We did it Paul, we did it! Full marks to the boys, they put up a valiant effort. Will it be the Boks, or the Pumas...?

Swing low. Sweet Chariot.

South Africa 37 - 13 Argentina

I only caught the last 4 minutes of the game, just after Brian Habana's try. Did South Africa play well, or Argentina just play terribly?

Either way - we have our Grand Finalists.

England vs. South Africa

No doubt I will be up for this. Good Luck Eondt!

i missed both matches. i always pick a side to support so i guess its,  *cough*, england...
