Rugby is boring as hell, don't understand nothing in that game. It's weird. I prefer watch LA Galaxies or New-York Giants going down instead of rugby.

its a possibility that you find it boring because you don't understand it, maybe if you did you could fully appreciate it.

Damn lucky couldn't believe it when the fullback missed the penalty with minutes to go!

Australia, what a disgrace to lose to a team of such poor quality

Hehehehehehehehehe!!
They weren't allowed to get going, I was worried the ref was going to penalise our scrum which he did a lot of in the first half.Luckily I think he realised nobodies forwards are silly enough to keep getting pinged for the same offence paid more attention to the Oz front row and realised they were brining it down.

I think the Argentina vs Scotland game will be a killer, at least I hope so. We havent beaten los pumas since 1990, so the odds are stacked against us, but look at what France, England and Scotland at football (vs france) have done recently, we can do it!!!!!!!!

Fiji in the semi final would be great for the stature of the game amongst the "smaller" nations.Be a tough one for them though!

Fiji are beaten by the great (although not so great today) Springboks 37 - 20, and even though the score is big, dont get it wrong, it was a very close match

Thats one of your pair through then, what about the others?Scotland got a chance?
I thought that fiji did amazingly well to bring it back to 20-20 but ran out of steam.Whoever plays the 'boks next just has to do the same as happened today get amongst them and not let their kickers dictate play as England did in that "game"..

i believe Scotland have a chance, look whats been happening recently:
-Scotland beat France at Football twice
-France beat New Zealand
-Fiji beat Wales
-Celtic and Rangers beat major European opposition
-ect
There has been quite a few upsets recently, the time has come for Scottish rugby to become supreme, we can get the third place

**** sake, england beat France 14 - 9 and are in the final

Stupid Frogs. They were so cocky going into the match with the studio guest making statements before the game, they closed the Champs Elysees in expectation of all the French fans being out on the street celebrating.

Not to mention that idiot they had an interview with in the build up who comes from Yorkshire but is the French defensive coach who was trash talking England (his home Country) on an English TV Channel, how stupid can you get?

People get what's coming to them and what they deserve, tonight was a great example.

yah, people do get whats coming to them and England are going to get what they deserve in the final, 40 - 0 to South Africa hopefully :D

Deserve?Go on then why do we "deserve" that?:confused:
We haven't been arrogent, (like many of the home nations)we have been underestimated by everyone and our last 2 opponents paid the price for doing so in exciting tense matches.
We got a good kick up the backside by a much better 'boks side in our group and have come back and done what no other side has done before and made a final after such a defeat.
Here's hoping for a good game tonight and a great one next week.
:grin:

Oh well as long as it's a deep seated irrational feeling towards us then, oddly i fully understand!!;)
Bokke in the final 37 - 13 over Argentina, sorry Pumas

Roll on Saturday, not a great pair of semi finals, first half last night the Pumas looked like they were trying too hard and making costly mistakes because of it.In the end quality shone through and it looked a game too far.I agree with the Greenood when he said they need to be playing regular matches, didn't realise there was no pro rugby in Argentina at all.

they really need to get into the Tri nations and be playing against THE best opposition in the world guaranteed every year
