Anybody watching this/planning on watching?

Go the All Blacks!

by **GTFO. G** » 09 Sep 2011, 10:39

I am currently watching at work, wearing saffa jersey of course

Put a £25 bet on SA vs NZ final, and got a free £25 bet which I put on SA to win.

Long odds, haha!!

Go boks!

All Blacks beat Tonga 41 -10

Not to bad. Those Tongans are massive!

by **GTFO. CrooZin** » 09 Sep 2011, 11:53

I'll be watching it for sure, carn the Wabbalies

WTF Chips...they let in a try....chokers! :lol:

by **Decimator** » 09 Sep 2011, 12:03

Did watch a bit this morning, not really into Rugby, but world cup is always good

Come on England!!!

Haha, nice - "fuck you france!"

England game was a bit crap... Never have I seen such bad fly halfs

by **GTFO. fission_chips** » 11 Sep 2011, 09:34

The kicking was terrible in that game. It was an indoor stadium!

England played poorly, what they deserve for wearing black shirts anyway!

Scotland were poor against a fantastic Romania, though Romania were unlucky. Japan did very well against France which was great to see. Then this morning, Australia held to 6-6 at half time against Italy. Luckily Australia's kiwi connections Ioane and Cooper helped them out of trouble!

Ireland were pushed pretty hard by the US as well.

Go Wales!!

by **GTFO. Loser** » 11 Sep 2011, 19:35

Watched the Wales game this morning in the pub and I was nearly brought to tears

The last SA try was so harsh since the Ref was just in a piss poor position for our defence

However I was very proud of the lads on how they played and to think we have only ever beaten them once in the last 100 years!

lol, rugby

Union is dead, long live league!

I smell another pie eater. (standish lower ground, born and bred)

by **Troops** » 12 Sep 2011, 11:59

Pretty much KK20, was dragged up on marsh green so no distance at all.
Living in Leigh at the mo, even worse surrounded by lobby gobblers :lol:

Indeed, it is a joke in Holland

Terrible game yesterday, Wales should have got that last penalty to be honest.

Oh well, not gonna be a SA vs NZ final I don't think, we'll prob meet in the semis.

by **GTFO. fission_chips** » 16 Sep 2011, 11:10

Close game between New Zealand and Japan - 83-7

by **GTFO. kk20** » 16 Sep 2011, 13:37

it was a good run for their try though. I saw the highlights from russia v usa. hahahah aha hahhaha. I

After the shithouse display we had against argentina I reckon georgia has a chance.

by **GTFO. fission_chips** » 16 Sep 2011, 13:39

Japan played not bad, their try was solid and they managed to keep the ball away from the AB's for quite a few phases.

by **GTFO. G** » 16 Sep 2011, 15:31

What a walk over (not that I wasn't expecting it)... Mildly entertaining, good to see NZ playing well without Carter and McCaw

by **GTFO. G** » 17 Sep 2011, 11:37

Great game this morning!

by **GTFO. Sammo** » 17 Sep 2011, 12:20

Well played Ireland. played the Ausies of the park... great win, great game :lol:

by **Rockford** » 17 Sep 2011, 20:26

I'm still reeling from the USA beating Russia... GET IN! We're not the worst team out there!!!!

by **GTFO. Sammo** » 18 Sep 2011, 10:40

You are lol

by **GTFO. kk20** » 18 Sep 2011, 13:39

england was meh. 1st half sub standard, 2nd half par. georgia deserved better. I think they played better against scotland. Missed france game. missed ireland game, watched highlights - lol at australia.

by **GTFO. Loser** » 19 Sep 2011, 20:15

woot! we won one lol :>

by **GTFO. G** » 22 Sep 2011, 10:46

LOL, what a walk over.

Annoyed with Ireland win now when looking at the match schedule, England have a clear walk to the final

by **GTFO. fission_chips** » 22 Sep 2011, 11:01

Big walk over, although surely it was expected! Some good tries, and great to see Habana stretching his legs.

Surely England won't get into the final!

Depending on the France vs. All Blacks game, England could end up meeting either of them...or Scotland could cause an upset and beat the English!

by **GTFO. Gash** » 22 Sep 2011, 11:29

what are the connotations then for england having a clear walk???

by **GTFO. G** » 22 Sep 2011, 15:04

Well, its gonna be a SA vs AUS quarter final (so disappointed) - winner of that will play NZ in semis...

England will play France in QF (and probably win), then play either Ireland or Wales in Semis (most likely Ireland) - and should win to get to the final... So impossible for a southern hemisphere final. What a travesty!!!

(unless there is a major upset)

Australia did win the tri-nations, so they are jinxed, fingers crossed!

by **GTFO. G** » 22 Sep 2011, 15:08

Don't be silly chips, you'll beat France...

by **GTFO. fission_chips** » 22 Sep 2011, 15:35

If Italy man up and beat Ireland that would throw a spanner in the works! Also I'd put money on Scotland beating England...

by **GTFO. G** » 23 Sep 2011, 10:26

Haha, USA scored a try...

by **GTFO. Loser** » 30 Sep 2011, 15:51

I want all 4 home countries to qualify so I am hoping Scotland beat England

by **GTFO. G** » 01 Oct 2011, 09:15

Go Scotland!!

edit: UL

by **GTFO. Coxy** » 01 Oct 2011, 10:31

GO ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UL Scotland though.

by **Decimator** » 01 Oct 2011, 10:39

England did not deserve to win that

No idea why Johnson keeps playing Wilkinson, as soon as Flood came on he pretty much changed the game.

by **GTFO. CrooZin** » 01 Oct 2011, 12:38

Useless bunch of poms!

by **GTFO. Celtickiller** » 04 Oct 2011, 00:48

G, are you nuts, Ireland will mince England if we get beyond Wales !!!

I was there in March when Brian and the boys took the wheels of the Chariot to stop the Grand Slam at "The Aviva" better know as Lansdowne Rd

In case you've forgotten Ireland 24 England 8

Yeah Yeah we lost 4 games in a row pre WC but you know I suspect Kidney did that on purpose to make Australia think they'd walk on us.

Ireland versus NZ in the final boys !, you heard it here !
