SWING LOWWW - The Rugby World Cup Thread

Great game in real life today, supporting the Pumasa tomorrow here!!!

No surprise if Australia sets some scoring records today.

By the time the mismatch finishes, Scotland might be regretting that Samoa didn't find another three points, so someone else could take the thrashing.

Here on Irish TV Liam Toland is taking every opportunity to basically say that Richie McCaw is cooked at an international level.

And is there a worse unpunished cheat in the history of sport?

Seb Coe?

This concept is interesting.

As a sportsman would you rather bow out early of a competition, with dignity in tact, or go as far as possible but go out by being smashed to smitherines.

No idea on the gap between the two sides. But seen as the breaks between games are quite short (as I am led to believe), that some teams are just looking to get over the line in some games? I would expect this could be similar?

watch it Murray, since when were you an authority on rugby ?

[TightEnd]

for the winning south african score, what did people think about cutherbert's decision to come off his wing and take vermuelen? it looked like he might be slipping the davies tackle and only a brilliant offload did for them.

was he right to come or should he have stayed?

[TightEnd]

And i thought to myself, watching julian savea bulldoze french defenders on top of his speed last night, what a fantastic NFL running back he would make

Yeah, you may well be right. Australia may ease off to save themselves for the next game.

You can rub it in later, Micky, after you've sent them back to Rooland.

thought sam was fantastic yesterday



shaun edwards is a genius imo. the defensive plan was brilliant, had them in it all the way and nearly pulled it off despite being decimated by injuries

[TightEnd]

Pumas sensational with ball in hand, what as difference since the joined the rugby championship

huge difference between the sides from the two hemispheres in terms of finding space, giving a pass and pace





down to Scotland to salvage some pride then...

[TightEnd]

mind you, this is the only sport where you can support a hemisphere.

aggregate score north 52 south 128 through three quarter finals

[Ironside]

Great news Scotland must be best team in Europe as we are last team remaining

[Ironside]

[mickyp]
