Rugby World Cup 2015

[Rosco]

And SA look like a good physical side who play a fairly pragmatic game.

Can't wait for this next game. I really hope France turn up

I was watching the match when a friend pointed out there wasn't that many lineouts or scrums in the match, he reckoned it was a Welsh ploy to try and avoid the physical play against the saffers.

 

[Rosco]

3-3 after 9 mins but France are barely in the game

 

[Rosco]

Michalak... Already missed a few tackles now he has a kick blocked and returned for a try.

Id pretend I was injured after that too

 

[Rosco]

Better from France in recent minutes.

Picamoles is getting into the game

You spoke too soon.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Just watched it now ... great game, two solid teams ...

 

[Mors]

This is how rugby is meant to be played. French getting fucking ruined after the Welsh got smashed. Aces.

 

[Rosco]

New Zealand may well be on another level to everyone.

I was hoping the likes of Nonu, McCaw and the few others in that age group might just be past it.

Yup ... 🙁

The French should have taken one for the northern hemisphere and started wrecking Kiwis whenever the match was beyond them.

 

[Rosco]

The French are probably the last team you'd pick for that job.

I'm concerned about tomorrow. The All Blacks beat Argentina by 10 but France by 50.

I think we're better but I'd be more comfortable if Sexton was playing

So it's going to be an all southern hemisphere semi final?

We need to change the rules or something.

 

[Rosco]

Well I might be overreacting, apparently France were beaten by more than Namibia and Georgia.

They didnt look invincible during the group stages but we're clearly seeing the best of the All Blacks now.

French tradition of revolting against their coach works once again! The ABs were great but the French were pitiful.

 

[Judge Jules]

The Blacks were positively frightening. The Saffers will test them of course, but based on what I've seen so far (including yesterday) I don't think they have enough to win.

The French were a fucking embarrassment in the second half of that game.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Gutted but we gave it our all.

Hopefully the Scots and Irish can give us something to cheer today! Good luck boys!

 

[Rosco]

Looking forward to this now

Should be a bruiser. One for the purists

 

[Leo]

I was confident most of the week but shitting it now.
We're probably going to have to put in a flawless display to win it.

 

[Rosco]

A lot of teary Argies during the anthem!

 

[Jürgen4PM]

You're playing in Cardiff you'll be alright

 

[Rosco]

If Madigan is 80% of Sexton we win.

If he struggles and Paddy Jackson is needed we're fucked

 

[Rosco]

Fuck.

We're being bullied

 

[Leo]

Absolute hideous start in the scrum.
We look second best in every department so far.
Needs fast improvement.

 

[Leo]

Fuck try given.
Game over.

 

[Rosco]

14-0

We're so passive, and our fatties are getting caught out wide

 

[Rosco]

Bowe gone.

They're tackling so low, it stops each tackler dead. Clever

 

[Leo]

Bowe looks finished now too.
We left behind our world cup behind against France.
It's just not the injuries but the intensity levels shown that day were going to be impossible to replicate.

 

[Rosco]

We need to take advantage of the binning
