Rugby World Cup Semi Final Weekend

Saturday
England vs Australia
New Zealand vs France

Sunday
Argentina vs Scotland
South Africa vs Fiji

What are everybodys' thoughts on the games? Are we looking at all Southern Hemisphere semi-finalists?

I am disappointed that Farrell is injured - who to replace him?

I am going for England, France, S Africa and Argentina semi-finalists. Heart over head with the first choice obviously - I just think we could do a proper number on them up-front.

We proberly could do a number on the Aussies up-front, but i don't think that will be enough.

I think you'll proberly looking @ A S/H semi-finals, with NZ choking to South Africa in the final.

I would go with Dan Hipkiss for centre inplace of Farrell, maybe Olly Barkley as inside centre and Hipkiss as outside centre, the only thing that would trouble me is Barkley maybe a little bit light.

looks like they have gone with Catt - understandable I guess - they probably agreed with you re Barkley.

I must admit - i'd go with Hipkiss instead of Tait at outside centre too

I'm almost crying. I went into todays game thinking we were going to get destroyed.

Upon this charge, cry God for England, Harry and Saint George!

:dance: Third straight RWC we've beaten Oz. I bet they can't wait for Wilko to retire.

We could very well be the home nation that progresses the furthest.

O'Neill what's the score?,
O'Neill, O'Neill what's the score?

was a good game, wasnt too hopefull at the start but think we deserved the win! still disapointed we fucked up afew try scoring chances though

 

[Andy]

Anyone think France will pull off a shock result?

 

[Yid-ol]

cant see france doing it, could be a good game but think NZ have too much pace and power, france might kick more, but NZ will score more points

 

[TheChosenOne]

I still can't believe it.
Never thought it would happen.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall, in the Australian dressing room. If only to see the look on that prick, John O'Neill's, fat, fucking, face. When are the Aussies, going to learn to shut their mouthes, and let their rugby do the talking?

Our forwards put in a brilliant, buoyant, performance. We dominated the contact and forced the turnovers. I thought Easter, took Smith, to school. How important was Sackey's intervention on Mortlock, when the Aussies, had 4 men on the overlap? Terrific stuff!

Defo FMA spot on:clap:, i thought Sheridan was an absolute rock, the aussie's did not learn there lesson from a few years ago @ Twickers, he pushed there pack around that day, and he's done the same again today they just can't handle him:rofl:.

Mind you it will be very different if we play the all blacks in the semi-final, think Carl Hayman will give Sheridan a run for his money:beer:.

France on the comeback trail - Now 13 -6 to NZ

 

[LSUY]

[Yid-ol]

18-20 Eek

NZ cant handle pace! can france hold on now they have the leade for the first time

 

[TheChosenOne]

[ChRiStOpHe]
