Title: Re: well done england Post by: Jim-D on October 06, 2007, 03:44:53 PM Absolutely awesome performance, Totally in control
GET IN!! Title: Re: well done england Post by: Steelio on October 06, 2007, 03:45:50 PM Yeah well done england, expected it to be an embarrassing scoreline
Title: Re: well done england Post by: thediceman on October 06, 2007, 03:57:16 PM Where the hell did that performance come from. The forwards were amazing dominating the rucks and especially the scrums.

Title: Re: well done england Post by: CrestOfaWave on October 06, 2007, 06:29:06 PM Awesome display - greatest part for me was watching Gregan's face after move after move was disrupted. Excellent team effort.
Title: Re: well done england Post by: fergus8 on October 06, 2007, 07:58:36 PM does this mean a potential scotland england semi?
that would be class Title: Re: well done england Post by: thediceman on October 06, 2007, 08:30:03 PM does this mean a potential scotland england semi? that would be class No because they would be in different semi's. Final maybe rotflmfao Personally I can't see Scotland coping with the Pumas forwards. Title: Re: well done england Post by: Ironside on October 06, 2007, 08:46:56 PM personally i think south africa have got an easy draw to the final
considering that england austrailia new zealand and france were in one half all potential winners and south africa scotland argentina and fiji the teams in in the other with only south africa a potential winner (unless something unreal happens) Title: Re: well done england Post by: kinboshi on October 06, 2007, 09:13:23 PM South Africa are still my favourites to win. The All Blacks are meant to be favourites, but SA seem to be in a different league to everyone else.
Title: Re: well done england Post by: Bazzaboy on October 06, 2007, 09:20:34 PM I agree, I think SA will be very tough to beat. They may not even have to face NZ unless they up their game here against France.
Title: Re: well done england Post by: kinboshi on October 06, 2007, 09:22:25 PM 13-13 now, and Dan (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=86) Carter (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=86)'s off injured....
;D (not OUR Dan Carter) Title: Re: well done england Post by: Bazzaboy on October 06, 2007, 09:47:07 PM yet again NZ fail to deliver in a World Cup.
Two big shocks, heres hoping Scotland can pull off one tomorrow as well. Title: Re: well done england Post by: Rod Paradise on October 06, 2007, 09:52:01 PM The ref seemed dodgy in this one though - every mistake seemed to be against NZ. Rugby will cease to be worth watching if the refs don't shape up.
Title: Re: well done england Post by: Eck on October 06, 2007, 09:53:50 PM New Zealand got exactly what they deserved!! By far the most talented team and they play some stupidly arrogant rugby in the first half (e.g.carters cross filed kick in his own 22). then when they realised they were in trouble reverted to no risks pick and drive thinking they would just grind the french down.
Feel slightly sorry for any New Zealander tonight as their team have let them down badly again. didn't think the ref had a bad game at all personally, the obviously biased comments of murray mexted probably didn't help.

Still think South Africa are well ahead of everyone else in terms of performances and talent throughout the side. Or did you mean far more talented than France? In that case, you're probably very right. Title: Re: well done england Post by: Tonji on October 06, 2007, 09:58:03 PM New Zealand crack under pressure again, they going to get some real stick when they get home.
The Northern Hemisphere is hitting back. Good Luck to the Scots Title: Re: well done england Post by: Eck on October 06, 2007, 10:03:23 PM New Zealand got exactly what they deserved!!

In that case, you're probably very right. Haven't seen a great deal of SA in the world cup so far, seen them struggle against tonga a bit (was on in the casino so wasn't following too closely). But have watched them play scotland at murrayfiled and wasn't impressed that much. But on form no-one should live with NZ ffs there locks could probably start in the centre for most of the other nations. Just goes to show that you can be the biggest brutes around but if you don't use the space between your ears rugby is a difficult game. Still trying to figure out what Henry had sent them out there to do tbh. Title: Re: well done england Post by: TightEnd on October 06, 2007, 10:05:08 PM terribly one dimensional stuff from NZ...needed to open it out with 10 to go instead it was pick and gos round the fringes, defended every time

Still trying to figure out what Henry had sent them out there to do tbh. That was a SA reserve side. I really can't see past SA to win the thing now, probably fairly comfortably. Like England to prove me wrong though ;D Title: Re: well done england Post by: thetank on October 06, 2007, 11:29:27 PM I missed the game, but by all accounts England are to be pulled up for slow-rolling the group stages. :D
Title: Re: well done england Post by: ifm on October 06, 2007, 11:45:22 PM I love these sort of threads, really does show the naivety of some folk when it comes to certain sports.
+ column is very nice tyvm :D Title: Re: well done england Post by: thetank on October 06, 2007, 11:50:17 PM terribly one dimensional stuff from NZ...needed to open it out with 10 to go instead it was pick and gos round the fringes, defended every time Can't be easy for France defending against 27 phases, knowing that any penalty conceded or break in the line would result in heartbreak. 27 is quite a lot. Title: Re: well done england Post by: TightEnd on October 07, 2007, 09:15:10 AM its an awful lot of phases, I might have given up at about 20 phases and tried something different!
