Jimmy0 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 The Rugby World Cup is just about to get underway with France taking on Argentina. Anyone else going to be watching, your thoughts about the game/whole world cup in general. I also thought it better to just pop everything about the world cup in one thread rather than create individual threads per game as it would make this forum rather cluttered just about one subject.

metallithrax Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Prefer Rugby League, but think Australia will win this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibby Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Argentina did great tonight, the french didn't really have any power in them. Countless number of times the french didn't try to push on against a small pack of players. The big sprint was a good try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiagosilva29 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I also thought it better to just pop everything about the world cup in one thread rather than create individual threads per game as it would make this forum rather cluttered just about one subject. There was a Rugby World Cup thread. I'm going watch last 2 games of Portugal. The others are broadcasted on weekends, when I'm working. Tomorrow we're going to kick some Scottish ass. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy0 Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 Argentina played well, and that was a great victory for them over France! There was a Rugby World Cup thread. My bad, I never saw that. Perhaps a Mod should merge this thread with that one and we can get the discussion going. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashl Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Well done Argentina, be a disaster for France if Ireland can beat them as well which is possible, home nation going out this early is unheard of. Come on England today, get a good score against the USA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibby Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 England did ok, but no way good enough. Slow and poor passing. The americans did my head in, kept coming in the sides and wouldn't roll out of the way. This really slowed the game down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy0 Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 Yeah England do need to step it up a gear or 3 when we play South Africa or we will lose, badly. Not really a great result especially considering our opponents, but at least we won. Should of got a scoreline more like towards the numbers that New Zealand and Australia managed against their opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibby Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I ended up watching something else halfway through. I just couldn't stand to see England be so poor. I'd expect a poor game from the national football side, but from the rugby side we always had a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibby Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Wales are out! WEEEEEE The welsh are there own enemys. They had a poor first half against Fiji. At least England did better against Tonga. We were quick and had some attacking style for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy0 Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Wow Wales are out, I was not expecting that, congrats to Fiji! You are right about England, but will need to sort out a few things and tighten up the defence if we want to beat SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibby Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 We are in to the quarters to play the old enemy Australia. We got beat by South Africa, we didn't even score. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxxxx.xxxxxx Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 damn, missed the game today. Wales got put out! Really didn't expect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzeh Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 If anyone isnt aware - England just beat Australia!!!! Most of it was defense work on the England side, saw Australia constantly trying to penetrate our defence. The last 20 mins was bloody intense - so many close calls on either sides! All in all, im going to be grinning all day now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houlty Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 ha, one of the unexpected outcomes of this world cup... england all the way. although i'm not looking forward to France or New Zealand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibby Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 At least England put in a solid game for once. We just need that extra bite to get those trys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonezy712 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 England played really well that game. Australia looked very dangerous a lot of times but couldn't really do anything about it. France <b>or</b> New Zealand - neither would be nice; but that's the way it goes. Preferably France to be honest lol nobody likes going against NZ! England FTW! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy0 Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 Better performance from England this time; I like it! Now I am hoping for a good NZ vs. France game now. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
