I hate the fact it's NZ v France in Cardiff. It's meant to be their tournament. I bet if the organizers knew Argentina would win the group then they wouldn't have scheduled the Winner pool C vs Runner up pool D game to be in Cardiff.

What do you call 15 men sitting around the tv watching the Rugby world cup final?
The all black rugby team or the Welsh or the Irish Freakin ha ha! |

![]() Hey RM, when I was in Aussie for RWC 2003, I heard the same joke about 10000 times from the english supporters. I heard it again in the bathroom while I was taking a piss, So I asked them, who do you call 14 men watching the final and one kicking goals - The English. Needless to say, I had to get out of that bathroom pretty quick

The RWC final 2003 is honestly one of the most piss boring matches I have ever bloody seen. Way to sell Rugby to the world guys. |

I'm going to the game in Cardiff on Saturday night. Come on the All Blacks. They better be allowed to the Haka, I know the Welsh can be a bit gay about it. Also, they better twat the frogs and make them all cry garlic flavoured tears.

Yeah no doubt NZ must be loving it that they're playing in Cardiff (not that the result would be any different if it wasn't lol)
Yerr I was at Wales v NZ last year where they did the Haka in the back. WTF were the WRU doing?! Anyway this game is run by the IRB so should be no issue. |

Oh my god. What a day. First England beating Australia in a game of pure grit and determination, then multiply that by 10 for the French tonight.
The atmosphere watching it in the Newport RFC Club house this evening, unbelievable. The place went nuts when France scored that 2nd try!! Incredible. Everyone was behind the French, dieing to see the favourites get knocked out, and every tackle made by the French everyone gasped in relief that the All blacks didn't break through. My hands are hurting from clapping and my throat is half lost from cheering, I haven't been caught up in a game like that in a long time. That's why we love this sport! I went to Newport train station after the game and watched the New Zealanders pile out onto the platfrom, with me greeting them with 'Aww tough luck guys, 4 years will come sooner than you think'

As much as this hurts I have been picking it since the beggining of the week, and the dread of it happening has been there longer.
Without sounding to one eyed I felt Mc Alistair was hard done by and I wish we had have one to see Bernard Laporte knocked out. I dislike that smug little prick with an unbridled intensity. That being said I think the ABs really let themselves down with some stupid decision making and they deserved to lose more than the French deserved to win IMO. Lucky I put $100 on the South Africans and not the ABs lol. Also this does give rise to a very interesting scenario in how far the Pumas can go, wouldnt a World cup Final match put them in a beautiful position to bargain for a 4 nations to replace the Tri nations. |

Without a doubt Argentina have already proven that they deserve to be in one of the world's top competitions, by beating France and Ireland, and very well Scotland today. That would be 3 of the 6 nations they've beaten. Would then set up a huge semi final with South Africa then, and who knows how that game could go? After this world cup we've learnt not to assume anything in rugby anymore.
A France/Argentina final would be pretty incredible. The tournament ends with the game it started with. |

You bloody choking All-Blacks. What's the matter with drop goals for fuck's sake?
I think probably everybody in the stadium thought it was a forward pass for the Jauzion try. Great party in town before and afterwards with the Kiwis, even though they were all sick as dogs at being defeated. This really intense, possibly insane Kiwi taught me the Haka. We had to take our shirts off apparently, but a couple of extremely fit Kiwi birds explained to me later that this is normal procedure. You really need to get yourselves a song because that "All Blacks, All Blacks" chant is pathetic. Almost worse than "Allez les bleus." Anyway, great game, excellent booze up. |

It must be shit being in the USA and being largely removed from basically every major world sporting event. It's only the Olympics Yanks really want to be a part of and those are a fucking joke and who goes to the gay Olympics for a party.

Dude. It's NFL Sunday, are you kidding me? You see this group of like 3 guys and 2 women walk in and ask to change a game that people were watching to rugby. When they got laughed at, they are like, BUT ITS THE WORLD CUP, which brought about many many more laughs. It aws funny watching them walk away.

American football is fucking rubbish. I suppose the moral of the story is not to go to the USA when a World Cup is on because Americans are gay about sports where you actually have to compete with people from other countries without being able to use drugs.

If it was the All Blacks/France game they wanted to switch to then fair enough about wanting to change the channel. But seeing as you said it was the Seahawks/Steelers game that was on at the time, then that must have been the Argentina/Scotland game they wanted to see. Well they deserve to be laughed at lol.

Lol amazing.
I always thought that it's a lot harder to get upsets in rugby than in football(soccer), because it's a more structured and controlled game. In soccer the ball is constantly loose, so anything could happen. This Rugby World Cup however has turned my theory (obviously a very shallow one ) right on it's head.

In 2003 everyone despised England. I don't think it's so much that this time, it's just amazement. The world is just in shock really. This is one fucked up World Cup!!
