citizenerased 0 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 So that's a Australia vs South Africa quarter final unless the Irish do something stupid like lose to Italy (wouldn't put it past them). All Blacks would then face the winner of that, so it would either be a battered and bruised Australia or a average South African team. Me likey.

If Carter and McCaw are crocked (both injured at the moment) thats a statement of supreme over confidence old son......imagine NZ fucking up at the world cup...who'd have thought that?

Hardly crocked, the coaches and medical staff have said all along if this was the French game or a knock out game they would've been able to play, there was just no point putting them at risk against Japan. And as it stands, we would face either Argentina or Scotland (probably the Argies, Scotland were bullied by Romania for 70 minutes and looked average against Georgia while Argentina should've beaten England) in the Quarter Final, a team we should be able to get through even without Richie and Carter. Right now i'd be putting my money on an Ireland/New Zealand final after tonights win. Ireland (barring an Italian upset or Samoa rolling both the Boks and the Welsh) are going to face either Samoa or Wales in the quarter final and then either the French or the English in the semi, both games Ireland should win if they play even 80% as well as they did tonight.

Barney 0 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Superb performance by the Irish. I went over to Paris for the last world cup for the Argentina match. We were awful with what I thought was our strongest side for ages. Be great to go on a run here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 If you're trying to say League is more competitive, it's not really fair comparing a club match in league to RU internationals, is it? It's a bad comparison to draw anyway from your pov, given there are loads of nations who are competitive in Union (6 nations, South Africa, the Aussies and Kiwis, plus the likes of Western Samoa and Argetntina who often pull off a shock). How many nations are competitive at international level in Rugby League? 3? It's two isn't it - NZ and Australia. It's true what the say about rugby union though - it is as boring as bat shit. Watching any of the British Isles teams play rugby union is worse than watching a Sam Allardyce team take on a team managed by Rafa Benitez in football. Says a lot really. What a fuckin mug and what's funny he pipes up that we're shite at cricket and rugby, sports which generally no cunt cares about, yet Australia are fuckin shite in both and they all passionately care about them. Convict cunts, you're basically scousers in the sun. Ireland 15 Convict Skin Cancer Victims 6 Ireland 9 England 20 Pipe down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given up the cigarettes yet btw - I've not been around for a while and have not read any of your updates - your trials and tribulations. I've basically said in my post that my interest in the sport is pretty limited. It is too stop/start, and there are too many rules, and different interpretations/variations of those rules depending on where the referee comes from, and which many professional players, past and present, admit to not even knowing. I'd got quite a few free tickets and a couple of offers to watch games from private boxes when the WC was down here in 2003. I could only bring myself to go to one game, just to enjoy the spectacle and atmosphere rather than the game itself. Anyway, as you've been corrected, Australia beat NZ a few weeks ago. I know your understanding of rugby union is limited, but NZ are slightly better than Ireland, and at this time Australia's best player is out injured so they are missing a clog. Not taking away from Ireland though, they well and truly deserved their win yesterday, unequivocally. Edited September 18, 2011 by Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Nah it was just some lass he was s'posed to know trying to French kiss his cranium. Can't wait for Tindall to pull some drunken rugby stuff around Kate though as she's right in the line of fire iyam. It'll be too much for him to take one time, lagered up to the eyeballs with Zara howling some horse-faced shit at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34304 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 He's done canny well to pull her like, horse face an'all. All bets are off if you get him and Harry in a room with the Middleton sisters and a beer tap. BOAT RACE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we dont fuck up agauist the Scotts we've got a clean run to the final, where we wont show up on the day and get turned over by NZ. But it'll be a fucking good piss-up.
