Rugby

[Dunwho]

Oh dear we crashed and burned up in Dublin!!! how awful, but we really like it when scotland win and do well so its bitter sweet really!! haha

Felicitations!!

[m.g.]

Didn't come here for ages (again ). Had a very busy 2010 which turned into a difficult 2011 (my dad's death not long ago).

Bonjour everybody

No one here watching what's happening these days in New Zealand?

[Rog]

alright mate! how are you?
been watching the rugby but i don't expect us to progress on saturday against your lot- although none of the n.hemishpere are looking consistant enough for me.

[m.g.]

Well... I'm fine, thank you. Kind of "landing" now... (my dad was 88, alzheimer and few other "dysfunctions", so that's life I guess, and life goes on...).

Talking about rugby... until now, French were pathetic, nobody here understands the coach's choices and anyway, we don't have now the best team (compared with the past years).

I'm really looking forward Saturday's 1/4 final vs. our "best enemy" (I hope we'll win... but I'm not sure it will happen, even if I wasn't impressed by England. Statiscally you were throwing us out most of the time in the world cups, so... it'll be very interesting, I'll see the match in an Irish pub in Paris ).

I was delighted to see Wales and Ireland playing I have to say (Australia - Ireland was probably the best match I saw).

That said, I don't see anyone able to beat New Zealand this year, (except if "anyone" is able to play like Ireland did vs. Australia, and that, during 80mins... who knows?).

[Rog]

what about South Africa? they have looked ok.............

I hope it's a good game on saturday and may the best team on the day win

[m.g.]

South Africa? the only match with some "real" opposition was vs. Wales, and they only won by 17-16 in a not very impressive game.

I'd say that New Zealand, Australia and Ireland should win their 1/4 final matches.

And for England - France, erm... I prefer to say nothing and wait Saturday morning

[Rog]

well the best teams won on the day today *choke*

Hahaha... I'd prefer : "the teams which played better on Saturday won"

I have to say that I'm very happy for the totally unhoped result of England - France (not the best English team I ever saw, though...).

Quite a boring and irritating South Africa - Australia. Uninspired Boks and very good defense for the Wallabies. Not funny and not really deserved imo.

Logically New Zealand won, but Argentina showed that the Kiwis can be in trouble (well, if their opponent can play this harassing game for 80mins).

I look forward to Saturday and Sunday
