Rugby World Cup 2011

This makes it kinda more annoying for us lol

Yup, Aus in the semi won't be much fun. You'd be better off losing to France in the group match

Ireland you fried chickenen legends!

Tbh it doesn't really change much for us, because Australia can't win at Eden Park, and SA being there doesn't change. At the start I was picking an ABs France or an ABs Australia final, and since the later is now almost out of the question, I'm now picking an ABs France final.

It opens up nicely for England - not having to play a tri-nation til the final but, as you said, it's doubtful they can take advantage.
France will probably beat them in the QFs.

England just looked so bad against Argentina, and Argentina didn't even play well in that match. I can't see England being a threat.

 

[barmyarmy]

That's what everyone said in 2007...

 

[CG123]

They've still never beaten New Zealand in a world cup match...

 

[barmyarmy]

They might not need to

Well played Ireland, just did exactly what teams need to do to beat us. And the Eden Park hoodoo continues!

Wallabies just shot themselves in the foot by moving to the hard draw.

Jonathan Kaplan hates England. Could be an interesting game.

 

[barmyarmy]

Penalty count is 8-1 against and prob only half of them should have been penalties.

 

[aussie1st]

England losing that would take the heat off us

 

[barmyarmy]

Pretty sure if Georgia had kicked their pens they would be ahead.

That looked to me like a modified swallow dive. Slightly safer grip on the ball...

 

[aussie1st]

English certainly look good when they throw it wide. Tuilagi is the hard ball runner we are looking for, McCabe is no where near him, doesn't have the size.

Well Canada win the beards competition. Also who are those random people in raincoats singing both anthems?
