Rugby Union World Cup 2007

[Leicester Fox]

Bring on the Semis!

I got a full hard on watching that.

Johnnys kickin hasn't exactly been amazing all tournament imo. He's had a few brilliant moments but hasn't quite hd the consistency of '03 but if he ver wants to get back to that level i guess he'll have to be playing every week for a long period which doesn't look likely. Now i have to go back to France, god i hate the place but i guess it will be worth it! Any ideas on who will be back for the next game and who's definately out yet?

Kicking was tricky today given the wind conditions, but not quite at his best as you say. Who cares though? We won and we thoroughly deserved to, their scrumming was awful and they couldn't take our strength.

Not too sure they were awful our tight were just awesome!All Blacks v France is a good game at the moment come on France!

The Wallabies tight was awful, especially at the breakdown. We know our scrum is just crap so why give England another source of possession via the breakdown. That is where we should be winning it. I hardly saw Elsom there, Smith wasn't as effective but that could have been due to poor support.

 

[Leicester Fox]

wow another shock,the only problem with this i'll be dissapointed to see us lose against the French whilst against the kiwis i could kind of accept it! I called both these games right and my vcash will be the benefactor

Wooohooo go the French. Another choke by the ABs can't believe they didn't win this WC with their side. French were pathetic in the 1st half their best attack was the up and under. A few calls in the 2nd half got the French up and once they got the lead they defended like their life depended on it.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Oh and no Northern Hemisphere teams? What a load of old tosh Those Southern Hemisphere teams need to learn the heimlich manouvre their such big chokers

 

[aussie1st]

SA and Argentina will do us proud now No choke from us really, it was just a matter of time before our scrum was shown up. No such excuse for the ABs. Just the usual ref one.

 

[Leicester Fox]

The Saffas will win but I think the Scots could be boosted by the results today. Oh and any other England fans, go to Paris on the Eurostar, get a couple of the hundreds of touts together and you can just about blag your tickets down to a minimum of 100 euros each. Thats what some ticketless Irish we met did so we're thinking about trying it for the final

No matter how much I wanted to, I just couldn't bring myself to cheer for those dirty, smelly surrender-monkeys.

 

[jazz]

Im just soo gutted, how did we lose!! lol

Fingers will be pointed at the ref but it was just a display from a cocky New Zealand team today. Three years of preparation and they throw it away. Any other normal day we would have beaten France but in the world cup we just keep on choking

It wouldnt surprise me if we dominate for another 4 years and get knocked out of the next world cup. Fingers have to be pointed at Henry leaving out howlett. Oh well

Well done to France congratulations and good luck to Argentina.

OH!!! What a shocker, and more vCash!! Cmon
Aus and NZ out, now for Fiji and Argentina to make my semi's dream land!

 

[barmyarmy]

What an amazing day!
Can't take anything for granted in rugby. I thought NZ were very unlucky with some of the refereeing decisions but overall I thought France played exactly the right way to take the ABs down.
Still can't quite believe that both Aus and NZ have gone out today and fingers crossed for Scotland and Fiji tomorrow

 

[aussie1st]

Would love to see Argentina win the WC. It would do their game the world of good and who knows it might get them into our Tri Nations. SA now the new favourites can't see them losing to Fiji.

By the way - if England win the world cup, I said to my mate I'll go to school naked
