Rugby world cup

Will Carling not scoring a try:

😆

And another bump.

South Africa 2010 – Member
RSA against Namibia . . . wasn’t a game, it was a training session.

Current world champions roll on . . .

Don’t get your hopes up, just because they’ve beaten 2 crap teams!
Remember the tri-nations 😆

ENGLAND manager Martin Johnson is to position a brace of floozies and a pitcher of lager behind the goal line in a bid to motivate Mike Tindall.[/url]

Thats got to be worth another look.

Oh how my side split.

Wheres Brian Moore so i can whisper 1990 in his ear. Freeeeeedom………

Tee hee hee

Comfortable first half scoreline for Australia. Good to see US on the board, though. Anyone been watching? Good game or not?

Pretty simple stuff for Australia so far.

Oooh…looks like a bad injury to Faingaa. Put his head into the tackle and got properly clocked. Out cold. Hope he’s ok 😐

Ouch. Not nice way for a game to end.

Fingers crossed for him.

In twitter news:

@5LiveRugby
Australia’s Injury report:Horne fractured cheekbone, Pat McCabe dislocated shldr, Palu + Beale hammy strains. A Faingaa concussion.

#shocker

And also:

@5LiveRugby
Alastair Eykyn
Aussie centre Anthony Faingaa is moving & ok according to Wallabies, after unintentional knee to the head whilst tackling

Definitely unintentional btw.

Thats got to be worth another look.

Oh how my side split.

I expect Will Carling thinks its pretty funny too. (Leaving a winger in your wake for one thing)
Then there’s a World Cup final
3 Grand Slams and
4 Triple Crowns
Poking Princess Di..

Yeah, I’m sure he can have a little chuckle about 1 missed try 😉

Is TeeJ going on about 1990 again?

Yep you are right DezB. Great achievements. A pity he’s such an arse of a man. Smugness personified even today.

I like him as a (former) rugby player. Don’t know him personally.

I used to despise both Carling and Brian Moore. (Secretly it was because they were good players on the oppo team! 🙄 )

Moore has grown on me over the years. I’d be happy to listen to his commentary on most games. Carling hasn’t.

Every time Shane scores a try he has a smug grin a mile wide and looks pretty pleased with himself. In fact almost anyone who is at the top of their game will look smug to the losers. Funny thing is I still like him.

I hate Shane. He’s my 357th favourite player at the tournament.

DD 😆

That Will Carling moment from the Middlesex 7’s is a classic. I saw him ridng a bike a few months ago, looks like a sack of shit in the saddle but he was doing alright on a very nice road bike.

A-a, welcome back. Been busy this week?

Right, predictions for the morrow?

England to win easily
France to edge it. NZ to blame the ref, the ball, the crowd, well just about anyone but themselves!

France to edge it.

Would be nice, but I think it’s a bit too early in the tournament for NZ to choke.

Been busy this week?

bloody too right Mrs Anagallis away on tour me left holding baby

Great comment on the advert for sport Wales a few minutes ago…

The jungle drums in New Zealand indicate Wales will be making changes for their next game… I’d like to see Leigh Halfpenny picked at 15… I wouldn’t trust Lee Burn with a kettle at the moment

😀

My predictions were, England by 15+ points (I reckon by 30ish), but another dull performance that has Johnson frowning (does he ever not frown?)
New Zealand by 15+ points (I reckon 25ish). They will take no Frenchie prisoners this time around.

Samoa <14 points over Fiji, but a great fun game (for viewers!)

Ireland another big score over the Russkies. Showed how bad they really are against Italy and Ireland on a bit of a roll.

6:45. I’m in the pub. 30 points +
NZ will just get there..

Looking good thus far, doing the basics well.

Good start to second half 😀

Even better, Sale beat Saints last night 🙂 Quote from Diamond :-

“That’s down to the players. The team spirit is generated on the training field, not in a bar or a bowling alley.”

Wonder what he was getting at? 😆

Just up for second half.

My second team is looking awesome.

7 🙂

Sometimes it’s nice to be (partly) wrong 🙂

Morning all!

Nice plate of bacon and eggs here!

8:)

Morning Dez-rée, morning toys ninininininininineteen, morning muddy dee, morning maxie, morning O’Flashearty, morning hill todger.

Everyone looking forward to France v Hissie Fitters?

Morning DD – definitely looking forward to cheering France on, i think thats something we can ALL agree on?

Morning, i’ll be out for a ride when thats on. Big win for ABs though 🙂
Is this ref on commision for the number of times he blows the whistle?

No,sorry I’ll be cheering for Nz when i watch it later!

Agreed! Am wearing my Stade Toulousain shirt!
