HELL YES.  Plus, France wasn't even playing in France, they played in Cardiff...they really turned it on in the second half.

how does having one freak kicker make you a better team? all you guys have to do is get field position, force a penalty and then hand the ball to jonny. without him you would not have even made it into the elimination rounds.  and watching that kind of rugby is hardly entertaining


also teh ashes wasnt a disaster... pretty much saw that one comeing a mile off

I was Pretty disapointed,
Australia was not playing very well, they had no flow at all it was very stop start. once they got past he 3rd stage they just self destructed, there was no game plan.
However england did not play a great game either i do not count a game plan revolving arounf one bloke a good one, imagine if wilkinson was injured? they would not have anything at all.
oh and that damn kick from larkham! he should have got the 1st one and the last on  but oh well.
it was worse that i was watching it in a pub in london and was significantly heckled for the rest of the night.
oh well 4 more year and we will get the shot, sailor will be back and we can get australian rugby back on track.

come on england! not looking great for a world cup win though, although i think i may put a wager on us winning against france next week.
also, to whoever said they may be playing through the england match, i think most if not all matches will have their kickoff changed so they can watch the match. ours was changed yesterday so im sure itll be changed next week.

It's South Africa - Fiji and Argentina - Scotland.

If Fiji beat SA, and Argentina beat Scotland, it will make for an interesting Final Four.

fuck me, did anybody with the SA v Fiji game?? Another brilliant match which the Fijians almost won, that woulda been about 17x more of an acheivement! great drama this world cup so far...

as for the aussies who are whining that england weren't the better team on the night... are. you. joking? i think this england team are pretty poor, but our scrum dominated yours from beginning to end, our back row was all over gregan like a bunch of fat kids on a cupcake and our defence was pretty solid. face it, you played shit, we played well, your going home empty handed. again. wwaaaahhhhh.....

Earlier today, I was hoping to see a France Argentina final. How cool would it be? France Argentina was the first game of the World Cup, it could've also been the last.

However, I think it's gonna be SA England now.

Our whole country is still in depression after the All Blacks lost, now all everyone talks about at school is how gay the ref was and how depressed they are blah blah SHUTUP!! It's still top headline for the news everyday, a new reason why we didn't win the game.

thats fucked.

England would be fucked without Wilkinson. We should have just put someone on the field with the sole purpose of taking him out.

In the England v. Australia game, all Englands points came from goals - not ONE TRY

ridiculous.
