That was shite. Next week is going to be horrifying. Really dreadful kicking from Sexton there was the main problem, Ireland started well and should have had the game won early on through penos before opening up with tries. Instead it was well into the second half before the win was secured. Too many silly errors also. One good thing was how good Ferris looked back in the side after a long time out.

Can't explain how gutted I am right now. Feel like we'll never beat South Africa again. We dicked all over them and we still lost. Can never seal the deal against any Southern Hemisphere teams. Sickening.

Well, at least you know what it's like to be shafted by Wayne Barnes at the RWC.

Was a bit interesting a video ref wasnt called for the kick in the first half that "Missed"
And lets be honest BC we shafted ourselves at the last RWC. We spent far to long fucking around and not playing rugby against France. |

O2 are sending me 2 breakfast pies and 2 cans of beer because of the rugby. That's the first time I noticed the world cup was even on.

You need to learn that your own interests (looking at other people's penises) and your own problems (tiny penis) are not really any concern of mine.
Anyone would think that you are in denial about both steroid abuse in rugby and your sexuality. |

Stephen Jones and Gethin Jenkins back fit and available for Wales. Promising stuff. Glad we got out of yesterday's game unscathed injury wise at least. Looking forward to see how Samoa look on Tuesday. Bit of a come down waiting until next weekend for the big games now

Moonax, don't come back to TPWW and ruin this thread. Steroid abuse is rampant in all sports.
Yeah, next round of games start tomorrow. I've been getting withdraws having 2 days of no rugby! |

And your point is what? That we should ignore steroids abuse in rugby because it takes place in other sports? That is the kind of obtuse hand washing that would make Pontius Pilatus blush.
'Ruin the thread'? oh dear, your poor little thread, however will it cope with the discussion of doping. My apologies for disrupting your oh so insightful thoughts and comments. I'm sorry I must have missed the meeting to declare you a member of the thought police to tell people what they can and can not discuss. |

Aussies have suffered a pretty serious blow with Digby Ioane breaking his hand vs Italy.
He might be out the whole RWC, and they will certainly miss his attacking skills. Looks like Drew Mitchell could be an option to replace him after coming back from his terrible ankle disclocation/broken leg. |

Ioane will come back if they make the semis, I would bet on it. He will tape it up and go for it if he can catch.
I see the English lock got a 2 week suspension too, good job, was a pretty dirty slide. |

Yeah it was nasty, and he hit that centre pretty late as well.
I can see it being reduced to 1 week on appeal, but something needed to happen. |

Just woken up and glanced at the scores. Looks like a good win for Canada and a good performance by Georgia, running Scotland close like they did Ireland 4 years ago. Fair play.

Great performance, I think with Ferris, O'Brien and Heaslip together in the back row I'd fancy Ireland to take the game to anyone but all the forwards were immense. It would have been a more comfortable victory but for Sexton again having trouble with kicking at goal. The backs haven't really hit top gear yet so if we can get them playing with a bit of fluidity, cut out the handling errors then it will be very interesting indeed. I think Wales will be delighted with this result but at the same time I'd much rather face Wales than South Africa for a place in the semis.

Just woke up in my gross motel in Georgia to this. What a result! Amazing. Where on earth did that come from after the two teams' form coming into it?! That's what makes the World Cup special, so gutted I missed it. Never count out the Irish. Delighted with this now, what a difference a week makes, almost makes the South Africa defeat for Wales a blessing in disguise. Much more comfortable playing the Irish than the Australians in the quarters. Although I'm thinking ahead, must take care of business and bury our demons tonight once and for all first.

Ireland still have to beat Italy as well, which I wouldn't take for granted. It's exactly the sort of game Ireland could balls up due to the pressure of expectation. But it's really interesting how the knock-outs could be effectively split into northern and southern hemispheres.

Jesus Christ that was exhausting to watch. Such an ugly game but fuck it, tonight was all about getting the W and we got it. We didn't concede a single second half point which showed a lot for our character if you ask me, we just lack the cutting edge in opposition territory. Cost us last week and almost cost us this week. Maybe a good run out against Namibia will help us out. For now I'm just delighted we've overcome our Samoan World Cup demons and we're moving on.

I see we beat georgia comfortably. Hopefully all those media cunts making a big deal out of the night out they had will eat their words and shut the fuck up now.
Capello locks England players away. THEY COMPLAIN. Johnson lets England players out. THEY COMPLAIN. Can't win. It's interesting how they both have entirely different strategies. |
