Be interesting to see who starts at Fullback for the ABs, I'm picking Dagg but part of me wants to see Mills get 2 starts to bring up his 100.

The Argies should smash Scotland I think. Fiji Samoa will be a matter of who puts more glue on there mitts.

Abs should do the job against France, I say that with no arrogance, theres just nothing riding on this game really. So we will demolish them I think. If we meet them in the Final I wouldnt be so confident.

Also how amazing would it be for a France NZ Final, say what you will about all the Teams NZ has history with but you would be hard pressed to say we have a lack of history with France. A World cup final we win, they bundled us out of World cup twice (I think?) and when theres nothing on the line we seem to demolish them.

Its compelling stuff.

And lets not forget the Wallabies are so unpredictable, the Boks are the English of the southern hemisphere, and ya cant trust the Poms to lie down and die.

What a rant, im so engrossed... COMPELLING!!!!

I wouldn't say Argentina smashing Scotland is a given. Scotland are a lot better than what they've shown so far. Every tournament they come in with some confidence and expectation and they fall flat. Disappointing that they only get up for test matches or at the end of 6 Nations tournaments when they're only playing for pride by that point. Either way, they'll be up for the England game which should be a cracker. And if they get their heads out their asses they can certainly beat Argentina this weekend.

If the Scots can turn it into a grind then it will be close.

But if the Argies get to chuck it around I reckon 15+ points in it.

They beat Argentina twice in Argentina last Summer, and have claimed wins over Ireland, South Africa and Australia, and a draw against England over the last 2 years, so the ability is clearly there. But then it's Scotland so fuck knows.

I just haven't been convinced by Scotland, or Argentina this world cup, so I'm predicting the game to be shit. At least.
Aussies weren't so convincing vs USA last night, and had 3 pretty serious injuries. Their chances are seriously going down the toilet.
NZ v France tonight, fucking pumped. Crush these motherfuckers.

This NZ/France game better be close. Had a shit night so staying up this late better be worth it. Although I've got a feeling it'll be over by half time.

Pretty sure welsh commentary would be exactly the same if it wales and not england doing this. Think you're just bitter mate. (love it when people can't take england doing well) Also why would they be anymore knackered than us?

never heard of teams being 'knackered' after 2 games of a world cup before, that's a new one to me.

Well unless you haven't noticed, the top tier teams get at least a week's rest whilst the lesser nations are playing once every like 3-5 days. Granted, this hasn't been the case for Romania, but from what I've read this is a weak Romanian XV, and I fully expected an absolute blow out from England tonight seeing as Romania are not of the same class or fitness, and already played their "cup final" against Scotland in the opener. I just hate ITV's horrendous commentary. Nothing bitter about it. If I start complaining about England beating the likes of New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Ireland, France and Wales, then fine call me bitter

It just seems whenever England do well, people from other countries who naturally 'hate us' always find something to moan about rather than give any credit. Alright i know they're a 'weaker' team but they would've taken us just as seriously as Scotland and we've been 'below par' until then. They can't really blame the schedule though as you pointed out.

I will agree that ITV's commentary is shit. But that should be well known enough not to be wound up by it now.

Awesome win, hope we don't have too many injury problems. Both French tries were pretty weak, so not too worried about giving them up.

Was a good game France vs. Aus, ABs looked very strong.

Richie looked pretty emotional getting his 100 test cap, good on him.

Was at a pub for the first half of the England game and everytime the English passed a ball (I shit you not) he would scream out "Nonu who?" Made me want to stab him...

Oh ha ha, just clicked, I put France vs. Aus, obviously France vs. ABs, slip of the keyboard.

Was watching World cup promo with Aus in it as I typed ha ha.

I also missed out the fact that it was asshat in an England jumper calling out "Nonu who?"

Tough night for me it seems.

Was just thinking how funny it would be if Argentina scored a try now Scotland had a 6 pt lead, and it took barely a minute. Conversion easily taken.

Exciting game. Heartbreaking for the Scots. Haven't seen a replay but the Argies looked a mile offside for that charge down at the end. Unfortunate for the Scots but they were too sloppy overall for me, and full credit to Argentina getting that try when they looked down and out and had no momentum.

Wales 81-7 Namibia. Nice to see the squad rotate and the kids pick up a lot of tries. Got a lot of confidence with squad depth for once.

Woohoo, another thrashing. So much for thrashings being a thing of the past in rugby but fair play to Wales. I'd rather this rugby tournament was a straight knock out, much less boring games then.

To be fair, there's still a pretty big gap between the tier 1 teams, and the tier 3 teams. There will always be thrashings.

Looking forward to NZ Canada this Sunday. I'll be going!
Also, how good was that Argentina Scotland game, Contemponi was a mile off side on that drop goal attempt though. But Barnes couldn't referee his way out of a paper bag, so not surprised he missed it.

Meh, I like it the way it is. There will always be a few thrashings in the group stages. Everyone knows the "real" World Cup starts at the knock out rounds. It's all about who can manage and utilise their squads better. Often times you'll see a ridiculous thrashing by some team and then they'll fall flat the next game. Also there's no sense in saying the group stages are a waste of time, two of the home nations didn't even get out of their groups in 2007.

South Africa/Samoa coming up now should be a good one. On the one hand I'd like an RSA win to kill Samoa off, but on the other I'd love to see the upset.

I really enjoyed seeing John Smit go off, he is my player I (probably partially irrationally) hate in rugby.

The yellow was a bit harsh. It's not like he blatantly slapped the ball down or anything, just extended his arm instinctively to go for the ball, like anyone would. It happened earlier in the game and there wasn't even a penalty that time.

I missed the start of the game tbh, so cant comment on that.

But I don't think he had any chance of pulling that in, that should have been obvious to him. The reasons its a professional foul is because a pro should know better.

Whether its judging that they can pull it in or not, or simply having enough professional integrity not to try and illegally disrupt the the other teams attack.

Great win by Tonga, they were amazing. Shame they don't get to go through due to bonus points.

Looks like Daniel Carter is going to be out for the rest of the world cup... Don't know if NZ can do it without him.

Great effort by Scotland. Gutted for them. The knowledge in the back of their minds in the last ten minutes that they had to win by 8 just got on top of them in the end. England winning ugly, once again. Not impressed by them at all but a win's a win.

We were shocking, didn't help that Wilkinson was so selfish when we could've got a couple more tries.
