What a cracking game of rugby that was.

The Haka that NZ do is a fantastic sight, really adds to the match.

Japan turns down a draw against SA - who would have expected that?

Well done them.

Bad news for Scotland.

It's the absolute percentage play to go for the line with SA on a yellow. In a group game you're not expected to win anyway. If it's knockout rugby it's different but 1pt for losing less than 7pts than 2pts for the draw they absolutely must try and cross the line for 4pts.

Absolutely brilliant performance and deserved winners.

Nothing lose really, why the hell not?

Sure. I wasn't saying they shouldn't. Just that at the start they probably would have been delighted to get a draw and now they had done so well they were willing to pass on it cos they believed they could get the win against one of the world's top teams.

They did have something to lose - a draw against South Africa would have been the greatest result in their history. But yeah, go for it, espec with the extra man.

Is the France game on tele?

[Graham C]

Ah, my bad itv4.   Always the same, post then find It!

Yup - ITV4, Graham.

Do you ever really get big upsets in the Rugger?

I'm cheering for Japan here, do the underdogs ever win because I've never seen it in my limited experience.

No i think it is impossible for a team who are 40 point dogs or bigger to actually win a game of rugby.  Backing these teams at 1/100 to win is literally stealing money.  The combination of possesion/terrority and 15 man a side game (one player getting injured just has such little impact on the game) all combine to make shocks literally impossible imo.

Sick read you should gamble for a living

Bit of a rub for the woodsey's of the world!  

Don't fuck with the rugby gods mother fucker, they just gave me that gift so I could stick one back in your eye!!!  

2nd lifetime 1.01 loser.  2nd biggest ever losing bet in 20 years.  First ever pre game 1.01 loser.  Might have to upgrade my 'impossible to win' range to 50 points!  40 must be too low.  Incredible what i can get beat when i post on this forum.  Literally the first game after making the statement.  Japan were 250/1 pre game on betfair.  got another 1.01 cert for everyone tonight.  lolazza will be back with a new account. 

wonga and ocean finance must be busy with man city losing at 1/4 as well.

Cheers woodsey.  Nothing like a fellow tory's support when you are being carried out on a stretcher!

A bit of French shoving" followed by "going up illegally" in the next sentence.

What a game!

Was at the SA Vs Japan match today, sat in the corner where they went over for the final try.

Incredible game, great crowd (bar a couple of idiots) and a truly phenomenal performance by Japan who played out of their boots. Genuine UL to Arbboy - I largely agree with your stance on buying money on big teams Vs minnows....though I suppose today raises the question of the gap being closed. I actually though Japan were the better team today - did a lot well and a couple of cracking moves. Well done to Eddie Jones.
