Rugby is a more competitive game than leauge, take away NZ, England and Australia and there is nothing left on the international leauge scene

and egland just suck now days, we do forget that they are the current world champions so 4 years ago it was really competitive,

thats like England winning thr tri nations in Leauge, it will never happen LOL!

who brought league into this? league is dull, passive scrums? no rucks or mauls? 6 tackle rule? who wants all that that!?

yesterdays results:-

Wales 20-32 Australia
New Zealand 108-13 Portugal
Ireland 14-10 Georgia

Even portugal managed to put more points past New Zealand than England got against south africa. They had a good showing considering they are amatures.

Wales/Australia was agood game. shame wales only played well in places. if they actually showed up for the whole match they'd be competitive.

Ireland really struggled against georgia. i can;t see them beating argentina or france and so may well not even make it to quarter finals.

Georgia had a really good defence last night, a bud of mine is supporting Ireland and he was pretty pissed off when the game was over as the result was crap for ireland as they only managed to get 2 tries

yesterdays games:-

France 87-10 Namibia
Samoa 15-19 Tonga
Fiji 29-16 Canada

France and Fiji wins were as expected. Tongas win was a shock, Samoa threw it away they should have won and with tonga down to 13 men for the last ten minutes should have romped home. unfortunatley the tonga win has given England a lifeline to the quarter finals. A somoa win would have heaped the pressure on England.

hmmm no messages in this for some time

I can't think why not bob ;)


Maybe because Wales got knocked out? or did I just dream that? ;)
I shouldn't worry England will go out in the quarters anyway
