spunko12345 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Lovely try by Samoa. Terrific game so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunko12345 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 France are gonna be all right.I'd still rather they play the All Blacks next week rather than us! Going to Cardiff this weekend for the showdown Get yourself over to The Queens Vaults opposite the stadium nice and early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunko12345 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Australia deserved to win that without a doubt. More clinical when they had the chances and superb defence with 2 players in the bin. We are about 5% from the elite top teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The first two games were exceptional. Scotland-Samoa was a try fest whereas Wales-Australia was a bruising defensive nerve racking affair. Both close run things. It will take something special to score tries against the Aussies. Really enjoyable rugby today. I sat on my arse watching it all day haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Japan, ''played four, won three, out!''You can chuck all the maths and bonus points at me all you want but it still doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Best atmosphere I've ever experienced in Cardiff this weekend. What are the predictions for the weekend then? I've my thoughts, but refuse to comment on the Ireland game! I'll be supporting all the Northern Hemisphere teams I think, but I think they all go in as underdogs with the exception of Ireland, but it's a much closer game than people are giving it credit for. Argentina are a quality team right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturginho Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 South Africa, Ireland, New Zealand and AustraliaThe French are revolting............. against Phillippe Saint Andre! In 2011 they decided to take matters into their own hands and ignore thier coach completely, now rumour has it that they have decided to take a similar stance, which is nerve wracking news for New Zealand!

DieselDaisy Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Penalties, poor Welsh discipline. What a shame. All the teams I like are out now! I suppose I will have to support the All Blacks and failing that the Irish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 All Blacks delivered best performance of tournament. I'm predicting an antipodean finale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I think the refereeing has been awful. I thought the decision to sin bin that Scottish player for a (soft and marginal) knock on was harsh, and then you have the controversial offside penalty which seemed to come off an Australian. In general the referees have been right fannys. That stupid TV hand signal they do for a try which, everybody in the stadium knows is a try, all except the man in pink. What plonkers. It is getting as bad as cricket for the tv thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunko12345 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 They definately use the tv replay way too much now. Virtually every time he wants to look at it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is getting as bad as cricket for the tv thingy.Joubert is a well known plonker, but the Scots can only blame themselves for that, the Hooker throws to the front of the lineout they win the match, simple as. Also I was screaming at the tv a couple of minutes before that when after the restart instead of sticking the ball up the jumper and waiting for the clock to wind down they inexplicably kicked the ball right back to the Aussies!!

Conor Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Doesn't excuse the fact that Joubert sprinted off the pitch, he couldn't even face the players. That's bullshit right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bullshit right there.Yeah that is pretty weird but I have heard people saying that he did a runner because he knew he made the wrong call but that's rubbish. He knew he made a controversial call but he believed it was the right one (and prolly still does). I think it should have been a scrum to Australian and not a pen but I have read arguments both ways and they are equally compelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It still doesn't excuse him running off the pitch before facing any of the players. You couldn't get away with that at a schoolboy game! But in terms of the decision, every team in the world will have grief with some decisions, it's just particularly hard to take because it's Scotland and it was at the end of the match. If the exact same thing had happened fifteen minutes into the game, we wouldn't be discussing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
