Rugby WC La France :-)

Misses the opener sadly, busy weekend, France beating the all blacks. Italy top of the group for now

England beat Argentina convincingly who a fair few fancied to beat them. Japan sit top of the group for now

The Boks beat Scotland. Having beat Romania, Ireland sit top of the group.

Australia beat Georgia by 20 points, the only game in pool C.

Seems the Boks are fancied to retain their title, France second favourites.

Expected Quarter Finalists
England Argentina/Japan
France New-Zealand
South-Africa Ireland/Scotland
Australia Wales/Fiji

Lack of consistency in Rugby at the World Cup - sport is becoming a shambles

Ireland beat the Boks 13-8 - a roller coaster classic

Ahoi HLOGI

They should've hit the quarterback quicker.

You should have seen them try !!

Wales and now Ireland both fail, and exit at the Quarter-final stage.
France and England the only two Six Nations sides remaining.
All Blacks should beat the Pumas in the first semi.
Expect England to beat Fiji.
South Africa v France is difficult to call.
It's a good competition.

Ireland fail to hit their top end and the all blacks deserved the win. Fucking infuriating watch, a few shouts at the TV and the irish lads looked like they knew they didn't hit their stride. Second half was a horrible watch. Finished 28-24. Ireland never leading at any stage.

Didn't see the Wales Argentina game, surprise win for the argies, Wales leading 17-12 last time I checked the scores then the pumas ran out 29-17 winners.
