Rugby World Cup

RC1 · 6th October 2007, 07:55 PM

Aussie's and Kiwi's both out!

What a turn up!

And what a pure and magnificent sporting event this tounament is. The smart money must surely be on the springboks, but after today.....well you just never know for sure!

Anyone else been watching?

What is there a world cup on???

Just kidding Reg........

yes sat up last night to witness the worst Aussie performance in years

But props to the Brits for the 1st half they played very well, 2nd half...well only our incompetence kept you in the game, but in the end had Sterling kicked the goal it would have been unjust the Brits deserved the win.

As for France.....someone test the water in the changing room cause I've never seen such a change in NZ in 10mins they had the frogs done and dusted..all over, read the obit....then they let them back in and let them ahead then couldn't score points

Ah well thats footy penthouse to outhouse, coach should be sacked (and prob will be

) for the changes he made.

Good luck to Fiji and the Argies tonight

World Cup?

Teach that Loti Tuqiri right for leaving the storm,hope Fiji go well.

2nd half...well only our incompetence kept you in the game

Maybe its the sheer pressure of expectation Sean, especially so with the 2 teams that went out yesterday IMO. And lets face it, its not like they get the to rectify things 12 months or so later. 4 years is a long wait, too long for some of those players!

Still, obviously someone still has to 'win' a game but it is curious how a sides form and confidence can suddenly dip when they need it most.

Bit like tree work then!

Some will always pull that rabbit when they need it

I can just see the headlines now!!

There were scenes of mass carnage as the Aussie Rugby team stepped of the plane.......

Is that Chopper there on the right up the top?

Sean Freeman · 7th October 2007, 09:32 PM

Not sure what going on in that photo....maybe they've just found out their esky's been stolen, and that someone filled it with Tooheys rather than real beer first thing!

Either way get a load of the guy about to cut his mates throat with what looks like a screwdriver?

Tim Craig · 8th October 2007, 01:43 AM

The now infamous Sydney race riots I believe.

Tim Craig · 8th October 2007, 01:45 AM

Well, Scotland got their collective arse booted last night by the Argies.
Nothing more to say on that.......

When I first saw this pic I just assumed it was taken at the Annual Australian Arbor Conference, just at the moment the Arb Association told the audience they weren't allowed to top trees anymore.

JohN Dee · 8th October 2007, 01:55 PM

Thats footage of the Cronulla riots....

Isn't Rugby a girl's sport?

I played soccer when I was younger - now that's a man's sport
