Fuck you lot are easily pleased

The first and only upset in a string of boring and predictable games. Granted it was a tense encounter and a close contest. Hardly a spectacle though....5 penalty kicks to 2 penalty kicks - and they were only the infringements they actually scored from.

A sport built around infringements and arbitration - talk about selling shit to the masses

That's your sixth post in this thread. You're not doing a very good job of not caring.

Clearly you don't like the sport - but I've definitely found most of the games very enjoyable to watch. Why do you you feel this obsessive need to shit on everyone? (You may think it's the other people who are sheep - but you are saying "baa" just like anyone you might criticise).

That may have been the first upset, but lots of games have come close. The rugby fans have also appreciated the efforts of teams that didn't win, but showed guts etc. and improvement over previous years. It's been a good tournament so far.

(By the way, one of the Irish scores wasn't a penalty - do you understand this game you don't like but need to post so much about?)

Yep enjoyable game. Like most kiwis, I was Irish last night (after being Fijian for the day

). You can never count out the Aussies and it wasn't until the 78th minute that I felt I could celebrate. Also great to see the Wallabies hopes crushed by a Cooper fuck up, just a shame the irish winger didn't have the legs to finish it off.

The added bonus is that barring no more major upsets, Aus will be facing SA in the quarter final sending home one of our biggest rivals.

Great RWC so far, loving all the rugby non-stop every weekend!

Ohh also great game from the Warriors last night too. Two edge of my seat in the last 5 min matches in one night! Awesome stuff.

You watched it didn't you? Go on admit it.

So Ireland's win now means that the ABs face either Aus or SA in the semi-final??? Hmm - both beat us in our last games........

Aussie have Quade Cooper and hes a joke...kind of like a Carlos Spencer...
Aussie/SA and the All Blacks all look woefull when you get them rattled, and it does not take much. All three teams think they are above everyone else and cant beleive whats happening when another ''lesser'' team take it to them...
Even the AB's have to improve remarkably from here on in to convince me that they a can win this compition.

Anything can happen as we have just seen in last nites game with Aussie n Ireland. If and I am saying a BIG if

the Wallabies vs Springboks meet in the quarter finals, there will be injuries in this game as both teams will bash each other shitless and will be too week to front up and match the All Blacks in the Semis. But that is one theory of many........Come on the All Blacks get your A game to together, the Cup is now your to lose....

But Ireland's win now means we will only face one of them instead of both. An Arg,Aus,SA finals run now becomes Arg,SA/Aus, Best Nthn Hemi team. Not only did our tough path just get easier but it also means next weeks NZ vs FRA isn't so crucial as a loss would mean an even easier Eng, Ire, SA/Aus run.
