rugby world cup

Our passing would want to improve in the 2nd half, thought Aki's red was a bit severe as he was literally stopped, tough 45 mins to go.
 
Only saw the end of the japan scotland game.

My god the noise in the stadium over the last few minutes was un real.


looked like a similar cracker as the Irish game for them. well deserved group winners, there's more to them than just being able to tolerate the humidity.
It's amazing how effective simple play is. All they do is attack the field in channels. It'll look like you've a well spaced defensive line but they'll just pick out 2 guys and run 3 at them. It's really that simple.

That’s a lot of it but there speed at the ruck is savage , they are always looking to play the ball out of the tackle. South Africa will score plenty of tries against them but I think they will score more..... they will out pace them but South Africa’s power and size might be a issue for them
 
Woeful. Everyone in Ireland's attack line just standing waiting for the ball. Just kind of realising there that's a symptom of not playing what's in front of you. They are lining up to the pre planned play which is why they don't keep moving like you would if you are actually attacking space in the defence.
 
Wales gifted that win. Rip was forward. Yes French player deserved red but so did moriarty. The reffing in rugby is getting ridiculous.
 
Ireland well beat and need an overhaul with some fresh blood and less structure. Wales were bad and that French lad that got the red should never play for them again as he's brainless. They were down the Welsh end and all. SA will beat Wales unless there's a serious uplift in performance. England will give NZ a game and the winner should go on to lift the cup.
 
One of my mates is at the game this morning.

Some game from England, absolutely hammered NZ, take away the lineout misthrow that gifted NZ a try and two disallowed trys for England and it could have been a 30something to nil trouncing, can Wales topple South Africa and give a northern hemisphere final?
Some performance from England alright. Fair play to them. Can't see Wales beating S.A.. They'd would want to play a lot better than last week v France anyhow. Liam Williams is a big loss. England v S.A. would be a better final on paper
