Rugby world cup

Yay!!!!

Come on France. Do it again.

At last

Lievremont not impressed with that dive!

Did he touch that down?

Second team still England dondon.

Entendido, so is it acceptable to support a team which isn’t your home country then?

England IS his home country, Don!

🙂

It’s perfectly acceptable don. As demonstrated by Les Plastiques ici.

Shocking number of handling errors by France.

Oh goody… My second team is…..

TeeJ it WASN’T A **** ELBOW.

touch judge said it was did he not?

I can only hope the sad selection of rugby watchers on here are not a true representation of the English psyche as a whole.If so i feel sorry for the country.Bitter,envious,isolated and unlikeable is the only way to describe the poor sports on here.

Tv replays showed that the TJ was wrong though. Roland realised he was.

don, I always think it’s good to have a “pet” second team from the second tier. Mine’s England.

O’Flashearty, what are you saying then? That we should support the country in which we live?

Coasting, are you perhaps misinterpreting the banter perchance?

Jesus what a bunch of haters you lt are.

+1. I don’t really like looking at this thread, bit negative. 😥

Talk about feeding the scrum.

Not sure why, but I have a soft spot for these guys.

Could even see myself living there. 😀

Tv replays showed that the TJ was wrong though

‘TJ’ and ‘wrong’, not often you see those two words in the same sentence.

Nah, just kidding, Darcy! 🙂

vinneyeh, join in then. Neutralise the haterz. You have to do it from the inside. 🙂

Better stuff from France.

Lots of hobbling NZ players. Victory at a price?

Yay. Shouldn’t really stand though.

France will be a real handful should England meet them. Kiwi’s looking incredible though.

Aye, odd. Was time back on?

And la de da.

Bizarre French try- he had called time off and hadn’t even finished talking to the players. Odd.

Well not really the game i was hoping to watch.

Great play from the AB, who are going to stop them from lifting the trophy?

Not sure how far France will be able to go.

shocking descion at the start not to card the winger who took Traile out in the air maybe we would have seen a game then. Surely if he didnt card him it should have been a pen try too. Awful referring.

NZ look so much better than any other team I have seen. Stealing ball, dynamic and quick, support runners and no weakness that is obvious.

France have hardly made a break or beaten a man all game despite some good interplay in the backs.

could these two be the finalists?

Para was no threat at 10, the entire NZ defence just drifted off him and lined up Rougerie et al.

Jesus what a bunch of haters you lt are.

I see no NZ haters here. I just hate to see foul play being allowed. YOu feel hard done by you should be a England fan – now they get some stick including NZ crowd that is supporting anyone but england

NZ are clearly the best team in the tourney

All Blacks will be more AWESOMER if they can get the back row passing sorted.
The French just had a look of “What just happened?” at the end there.

To be fair the NZ could have had 3 players carded, the winger as said above, Kaino which was cynical and sonny bill almost took Tranny Ducks head off with what looked like a swinging arm. (even if it was a perfectly formed bulging tatooed arm 😆

TJ have you ever played rugby

his opinion is based on evidence only
and wikipedia

A little bit many many years ago. I played for Cartha Cathcart. Played as a centre in a full adult team at 16

is Ashton looking for sponsorship?

Just watched it again – Jane was looking at the ball and committed. Watch it with your other eye perhaps flash ?

I think its you that need to open the other eye, Jane realised he had been beaten to the ball and so tackled the man in the air. A card on two levels, 1. cynical foul play in the red zone and 2. Dangerous play.

I have seen welsh players carded for less and seen them carded for play like Kaino’s which was a cynical elbow to stop the player coming through. All blacks always seem to get away with it though.

All three incidents could have been cards – another day another ref. None really cast iron perhpas apart fro teh tackle in teh air.

I am sure clips will be up on youtube

TJ dont waste your breath justifying what you say.

All blacks will struggle against the likes of SA if they cannot find a fit number 8.
