Fuck, that was a crazy game to watch.

Sort of like watching a seal eat a great white shark.

Splinter off a RWC 15 thread pls.

Who will the ABs play in the final?

I reckon it will be against whoever wins pool A, so Aus or Eng. England?

Man I should've stayed up to watch that game

Only now do I realise I miss the Jeri pics...

Japan to win RWC IMO.

JERI lives! wb :) great strip btw

felt almost bad seeking out that game and then it turned out to be far more exciting than i thought it would

Took a while to get going. I think it highlights that unless we perform we could be knocked out at any of the finals games. Also, Sonny Bill Williams.

I think I might go put $20 on SA winning the World Cup.
1 - The odds probably just got better
2 - This might be that "wake up call" that will now motivate them all the way through.

I have such a love/hate with SBW. Today was the love one. Dude can be such a game-breaker.

I couldn't write the Saffas off in this comp. On the one hand, they've been beaten by Japan and, last month, by Argentina. Are they playing shit or are they perhaps distracted by the recent race politics? On the other hand, maybe it's just a couple of blips. Schalk Burger says they're going to treat their game against Samoa as a final. That game will be telling, I think. Keep in mind that Samoa provided a decent challenge for NZ recently. Can they play with the same amount of pride as they did on home soil? I'd like to think that Samoa has come up with the sort of self-belief that they can potentially beat SA.

Thanks mate. Man I should've taken a gap year to go to London for the game this year.

That's awesome, is that one of yours?

wow :o

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the ABs will face the French in the quarters at Cardiff.

Very cool pic Jeri.

Should have asked yesterday. Any streaming sites around for the game?

Ok, that was easier to find than I expected

Referees are fucking KILLING this WC. Bullshit stop-start games and deferring to the TMO every 5 seconds.

haha! good stuff. GG.

I just wish they'd make a decision first time. Try! - Actually can you just checked something from 4 phases ago?

England vs Australia gonna be epic.

Dunno who to root for... One hand, I want the Aussies to lose. Cos, it's Australia. On the other, England playing with a huge home crowd will be harder to beat. I see the Aussies lost 2 players to injuries too.

Dafuq no-one cheers for England over Australia.

Unless Northern Hemisphere rugby suddenly got interesting, Australia always over England.

I dunno, I still remember "4 more years boys, 4 more years". If Australia didn't even make it past the pool rounds I wouldn't be all that upset.

Quality Rugby > Sportsmanship
(imho)

Yeah but that was George Gregan and he's a good cunt. And we deserved it.

Thanks and yeah, world cup has me in a drawing mood

Game time. Go England

Love it. Onya Aussies.

bl Burgess, heh.

Yeah I was cheering on the convicts from across the ditch.
England - 4 MORE YEARS 4 MORE YEARS

:D

Suck it, England!

I'm not sure the yellow card was warranted, but still... suck it!

Nigel Owens was in fine form in the previous game.. Said to a Scot who'd just flopped "If you're going to fall down like that you can go away and come back and play in two weeks" (when the ground is due to host a soccer match).
