French did a job on the AB's obviously.
Just watched the Poms v Argentina. England we're down to 14 men from the 3rd minute after a reviewed yellow was turned red.
Played very good 14 man rugby. Popped over 3 DG's. Good job they've found their defensive game cos their attacks is shit.
What was up with the Pumas in that one? Couple of phases, turnover. Couple of phases, knock-on. Couple of phases, penalty.
Just cannot play the Poms at a world cup, always choke
I think it is a good result for the Wallabies, compared to the reverse result.
Pumas will get into their own heads and potentially melt down from here, while the Poms will believe their own bullshit and be cocky.
If the Pumas had won they would have been riding a wave of confidence and the Poms losing would see them dig in with a stronger resolve.
Similar to never wanting to play the AB's following a loss... except this week...
This Chile vs Japan is good to watch, refreshing to see teams not kicking the ball away every possession.
Scotland v SA is gonna be a cracker!
I think the Italians have won the RWC fashion stakes. Richard Hardwick, despite a dodgy throw whilst filling in as hooker, got some good game time. A bit disappointed in the end result.
GOOD GOD FIJI!!!!
That Fiji vs Wales game was one of the greatest I've seen. It's like rugby back in the late 90s - turn of the millennium.
Managed about 20 minutes of sco v RSAIf you picked your moments carefully you could make a case that Scotland deserved to win, but they couldn't manage the pressure for more than a couple of minutes in either defence or attack.Boks were solid and brutal consistently for the whole time I was watching, with very few mistakes.They're going to be hard to beat and sco will scare some teams for sure,Quote:

PS. Just watched the presser. Semi is not the captain nowdays.
Did anyone hear Dan Biggar giving his backs a full F bomb spray (on mic) when they tried to pull the trigger from their own goal line on half time ������

Boks v Ireland is well worth a watch
Proper test match
Spoiler alert, next post discusses Fiji v Georgia...
Wow, what a match! Georgia tried their best to be our saviours and I think they were possibly the better team on the night.
If not the early injuries (arguably off set by Fiji Yellow) and a missed try at the Half, then could well have taken the honours.
Really feel for Georgia, but they will be an impressive unit by 2027.
Really poor form by ref to disallow Georgia try because of forward pass. Replay showed pass was flat at most. Should have asked TMO to review pass before deciding on try. Try seemed legit, Georgia should have won.
Yeah, tend to agree. He certainly seemed pretty invested in his own calls, a few times I raised an eyebrow that things weren't checked.Quote:
