I'm going to a bar on Sunday at 7am to Watch Ireland V America...Kiwi's look very good in places today but their ruck seems suspicious to say the least...

[Bobcat]

Hmm they should have nailed Tonga. Will interesting to see who wins. Southern or Northern hemisphere?

The English media are already asking what went wrong against Argentina

We "WON" the game 13-9

It was never going to be an easy game and you have to give Argentina credit for that.

DD did you see it. Bloody disaster, thank god the Argies cant kick for toffee. They would have beaten us by 20. Johnny was also well off form. He missed some that he shouldnt have and then the one penalty that he kicked to touch they scored a try   . Later at the end of the game. Same thing difficult kick why he didnt kick to touch?. He missed it by a mile.

Hmm if they carry on at this rate they will meet the all blacks in the quarters and get shifted off the pitch. The only reason they won is that the Argentinian team ran out of steam.

Watching Rugby at 9.30 in the morning is just a bit too early to have a  

Come on England

Yes I did watch it and if Wilkinson had taken his kicks then no way the Argies would have won by 20.

You have to remember bob that it was their first game (same same Argies) in the tournament and in the Southern Hemisphere, and it will take a couple of games to find their feet.

Even New Zealand were getting "slagged off" because they didnt get 90 points against Tonga , plus you have to remember that Argentina are a pretty decent side with a lot of very exprienced players.

The shit will "hit the fan" come the quarter-finals like it does in any World Cup tournament, when the going gets tough the tough get going

"Come on England"

Some rather interesting results today in the sense that all the favorites won however the winning performances were underwhelming...

[Bobcat]

South Africa 17 Wales 16, that was a close one. Missed it but apparantly the Welsh were all over them. I believe it was 10 - 16 at one point.

[seamus]

Yep I see the game, Our Celtic Cousin should have won the game, felt sorry for them. I wish the Irish had played as well as Wales

No good at football, now no good at rugby , not a great time being Irish

What about that Irish win over The Assuie's? Sublime stuff from the Irish pack, We killed them in the scrum...

Onwards and upwards, bring on the welsh...

Alright me old mucker, watch this space, i reckon the Irish will beat Wales and fecking do it! The old feckers o'gara and Driscoll will go for it like Johnson and co in Aussie 2003. They will not see another world cup and could surprise. Lets be realistic with the big nations its pretty open. Ok the Micks were shit in the friendlies, but i honestly think they will go all the way to the final!


They wont fucking win!

But they are a class team! Look at the last fecking 6 nations game, we the english knew before the start we wouldn't do the grand slam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck to you boys

[seamus]

I shall eat My words LOL
I watched all the 6 nation games, all the friendlies & thought we didn't have much of a chance, I didn't see the Aussie game, but have watched all the others. Looking good Ireland

Marsh, your right We wont win, but we will give it a good go
