QF1: England v Australia

caffiend · 7th October 2007, 01:58

Who else is up watching this?

I have to say England look really fired up. Australia playing it cool, just moseying out to the field.

I'm tempted to say England might pull this off.

22-15 to England.

ps: D'oh. Meant to be in the Rugby forum

Sorry mods.

Ard Righ · 7th October 2007, 02:29

Watching it now. The scrums are a mess from the start, and Australia's weak scrum got awarded a penalty

The ref needs to pull his head out, and get some reports from the touchies about Fat Arse Dunning going down faster than a 2-dollar Thai hooker.

caffiend · 7th October 2007, 02:34

Yeah the scrums are terrible. I think it's 50/50 on infringing though. Sheridan's hardly innocent.

GG Wilkinson on the RWC points record.

I am stuck at work until just before the NZ game !!

wooty!

caffiend · 7th October 2007, 03:21

Nice tackle by Wilkinson on Mortlock!

Mortlock still looks helluva dangerous though...

BF Jax · 7th October 2007, 03:25

Man what a great game - cmon England

caffiend · 7th October 2007, 03:29

Christ, it's drop-goals-a-go-go at the moment.

CMON ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOUR MORE YEARS GREGAN

caffiend · 7th October 2007, 03:43

Can't believe I was rooting for England. GfuckingG

Ha ha @ "Tubby Bitch" Dunning having a cry.

blur^ · 7th October 2007, 03:46

rofl

i bet john eales was watching that and saying...what a fucking chump i would have made that

caffiend · 7th October 2007, 03:52

Fuck - I want to get 3 hours sleep, but I'm too amped after that

Ard Righ · 7th October 2007, 03:52

I wonder what comments the ex-Wallabies coach Eddie Jones will have to say after that game...

Glacius · 7th October 2007, 03:56

What happened at the end? I was listening to the stream and Aussie got possession with 30 seconds to go... then I thought they still had it and it seemed like 2 seconds after full time the ref blew the whistle.. ?!!?

no accounting for injury time or anything? (or did England get possession back?)

caffiend · 7th October 2007, 03:57

Knock-on by Aussie at a break-down after 80mins, and the ref called it. Seems like more and more games get stopped just after 80mins. You very rarely see games these days go to 82 minutes, let alone 85.

Glacius · 7th October 2007, 03:57

Ah - that makes more sense.

Helious · 7th October 2007, 03:58

heh, just spoke with my cousin in aussie who watched it, he thought it was sensational.

I came home about 60mins in and couldn't believe my eyes.

Well done England.

Glacius · 7th October 2007, 03:59

So are you fuckers going to sleep for 4 hours or stay up?

Ahhh.. *stretches*.. its 11am here.. leaving work in 2 hours to go watch the game..

caffiend · 7th October 2007, 04:01

I'm waiting to calm down so I can get some sleep in.

ps: Cheers for moving the thread that mod

Ab · 7th October 2007, 04:02

This is fucking great, I'd rather meet England in the semi than the Wallabies.

Australia: only WC-winning team to ever get knocked out at the quarter-final stage.

Chokers.

*cough*

BF Jax · 7th October 2007, 04:04

Well, I was going to bed at 2am but thought I'd just watch the first 5 to 10 minutes and Aus's first couple of tries before turning in to get up for the NZ game.

Most tense game of rugby I've watched for a while, and as an expat pom living in NZ if the AB's do the business (as they bloody well should) I really don't know who to support next weekend

(Although it'll more than likely be the AB's, been here too long now to feel much attachment to the England squad)

doppelgänger of someone · 7th October 2007, 04:07

Aussies look like they didn't commit enough people into rucks, hoping to run and pass the ball once it is out of the ruck. It never came out, instead England turnover the ball, and Jonny Wilkinson did the rest.

What a great game. Now time for 4hr sleep.

Ab · 7th October 2007, 04:19

The Wallaby scrum was feeble. Moore, Dunning, Shepherdson, Freier, Baxter... they got owned bigtime. I thought there was going to be an England pushover try at one point.

It was the scrums that lost Australia the game.

ZoSo · 7th October 2007, 06:46

What the. You guys are joking right?

Oh dear.

Erazhure · 7th October 2007, 07:48

hahahhaha!!! great news... cya Gregan!

StN · 7th October 2007, 07:49

It's a hard road finding exactly the right Nelson Munch gif.

wugambino · 7th October 2007, 07:56

the Aussie scrum got destroyed , sheaperdson was getting mauled on one side and dunning took every fucking scrum down ... is bill young their scrum coach? they got shat on at the break down to , it was like watching the previous world cup final all over again.

Good for us id much rather play england then australia

LordP · 7th October 2007, 07:58

I'm so glad I didn't stay up to watch this one, I thought Australia was going to thump England.

Englands score once again divisible by 3 - BOOOORING

But you missed out on Gregans last game, and a chance to see Australia get their arsed kicked!

It was actually a very close and exciting game, well worth watching I think.

You know, within minutes of fulltime in the France game I thought of that post and cringed.

creamcheese · 7th October 2007, 10:32

I just read it and cringed for you

pig · 7th October 2007, 11:05

Bugger me i was so pleased that the Aussie's got knocked out, *sigh*.
On the bright side that fat muppet Dunning must be the worst front rower ever.

ouch.

australia were disgraceful. gregan had his worst game all year, and we were completely dominated at the ruck. any possession the backline had, they dropped it or handed over possession with an awful kick.

fuck england.
