What a Saturday, both ScissorLegs and myself 0/2 on our predictions.

French played really well in that first half. England had a better second but not enough firepower to claw back the deficit, that last try was questionable.
Surely France will beat Wales and go through to the finals.
I sincerely hope so. The sheep shaggers will be insufferable if they beat the 'cheese eating surrender monkeys'. Fuck  >:(
Oooooooh, I sense a bit of emotion in that.
Well this is one of the reasons I'm not a great sports fan. I get way more upset when the team/person I support losses than happy when they win. In a lot of ways I'm hyper-competative to the extent that if I let it get a grip of me my equilibram goes to pot and those around me head for the bomb shelter.

I'd rather suffer the Welsh than the French in victory. I hope the gaze of the Eye of Sauron falls upon them all...

No. I know more sheep shaggers than frogs, thank you very much. At least if the Frogs beat the sheep shaggers, we can buy each other a conciliatory beer and then cheer on the Kiwis.

I'm gonna be flying in to the pays des grenouille on the 22nd (eve of the final) to visit family. I'm going to get a Gallic shredding.

...On the plus side, I may be there to witness the frogs being pecked to pieces by the sharpened beak of the kiwis... we hope...

If the All Blacks don't get their act together they are going to have a very tough time with the Wallabies next week.
Poor defense, too many desperation passes, lots of handling errors, they need to play a more mature game, probably came about from not having any tough games upto this point.

Argentina were fantastic on defense. Gave the All Blacks a well needed wake up call.

In a way it's a good thing that NZ and Aus are meeting in the semi-final as while it will be bad if Aus beat NZ at home it would be worse if it was in the final! If NZ win they can go on into the final with a serious weight off their shoulders.

But the Kiwis are sheep-shaggers too - I'm hoping for a 100% ovine humping final.

Yeah, impressive game. Made the Kiwis look very average.

Roger that! I dont mind either of these sides losing - unless the Kiwis play like shite and still beat a good Welsh turn-out.

It's gonna be a rout. I'll be enjoying it from within the berouted nation. I'm looking forward to a treat of exhibition rugby.

There was a big difference with regards to the quality of rugby on display in France Vs Wales compared to NZ Vs Aus. It is very unlikely the French will beat NZ, especially given they lost miserabley against them in the pool matches.

Hopefulli Piri Weepu will have his kicking sights retuned.

Go ABs, give those French a master class in rugby

What a brilliant spectacle! I thoroughly enjoyed that from start to finish. Spectacular defense from both sides. Magnificent! 10/10.
