What's the craic with all the strips???

New Zealand 18 FRANCE 20  :023:

Jammy sods, England. They have been terrible in this tournament - in fact they've been poor for almost 4 years. Yet somehow they pull one out of the hat. Not to worry, they all conquering All Blacks will sweep them aside by about 40 points in the semi-final.

But no, the highly inconsistent France team play a blinder against NZ. So a mediocre England will probably reach the final, play poor rugby and kick their way to victory against below par opponents.  :017:

Dream on 

[Kingsmills]

I'd settle for a scrappy victory over the Pumas courtesy of Paterson's boot and then a less than humiliating defeat against South Africa who must now be red hot favourites.

England v France  :029:

South Africa v ?  :024:

[tm4tj]

Here we go :029:

Nearly a drop goal for Puma's in first few seconds

[Mee]

COME ON SCOTLAND!  :003: :003: :003:

They shouldn't have the mikes so close to the players during the national anthems  :023:

[Tichy_Blacks_Back]

H-T Argentina 13 Scotland 6 - will need a bigger effort in the 2nd half  :024:

[tm4tj]

Oh my god

Scotland are utterly utterly garbage, this game is slipping away without much fight from Scotland, they are better than us all over the park.

[tm4tj]

Oh my God again, we have just scored a try, what do I know.

Too many errors in the end and not enough quality.

[caley100]

All over now..another glorius failure, mistake after mistake cost us the game..Rory Lamont wtf is he on a bung from south america?

[SMEE]

Scotland were P1SH! Completely devoid of Ideas, fight and any sort of leadership. Handling was among the worst av ever seen too :020:

Very harsh, I'd say.  Our forwards played well.  Argentina's forwards are regarded as being just about the best in the world.  Our eight pretty well matched them last night.  As mentioned on an earlier reply, it was basic errors which did for us in a game which we could have still won.  The only poor handling was from the full back (Rory Lamont) who I agree had a nightmare.  We'll show up well in 6 nations I would bet.

14-9

[caley100]

Noooooooooooo.........  not again...nooooooooooooooooooooooooo  how do they do it? they are shyte!!!

[Guest McYosi]

It is kind of sad to see two negative playing teams to reach the finals.

South Africa does play out of reaction instead of trying to play an attractive game.

Let's just hope they will beat the English once more, cause the English really are terrible to watch at, it's more like American Football than rugby. (one must wonder how bad their game is when even Dutch viewers can notice they very low level of attractivity of their goalkickinggame  :015:)

[Jay_7]

Here's hoping Bryn Habana plays a blinder! I have faith in him  :011:

[Guest Spectre]

"they are shyte!!!"

Yes, we have been, though not quite as shyte as you.  But we're showing a bit of character and determination, normally qualities to be admired in a team, I believe.

[Alex MacLeod]

Shyte or not...............credit where its due. England have made it to the final with the same sort of passion and determination that will see our footballers get to Euro 08.

Can they beat the Springboks though..........thats the real question. Can I bear another four years of hearing them mentioned during any and every other sporting event in the land.
