Rugby World Cup 2011

[McNamara That Ghost...]

NZ 15-10 Argentina.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

NZ 18-10 Argentina.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Try for the All Blacks!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not converted though. NZ 23-10 Argentina.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

26-10 NZ lead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another try for NZ.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

NZ 33-10 Argentina. Only a few minutes left.

Safe to say the semi-final line up will be:

Wales vs France
Australia vs New Zealand.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

I can safely say that every team in the QFs played with a high degree of passion apart from England

Every team would have beaten us on yesterdays performance, in fact I dont think we put one decent performance in all WC, the Scots deserved to go through more

Could not agree its a case of england just being at a world cup thinking they have a right to win the thing. where have we seen that before.

for me it was the lack of passion......I mean take Lawes, has the physical attributes to be an absolute monster but his body language is like he could give a fuck.......Easter for me apart from looking like the missing member of the Village People played with a bit of umph!

[Cripps_orig]

SSN breaking news

Some English player has been detained by police after jumping off a ferry in Auckland

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GHELs.

:bow:

[dazthegooner]

Well he plays for England but isn't English :shrug:

[Marc Overmars]

This Tuilagi bloke sounded thick as shit when talking about his gum shield the other day. Wasn't surprised to find out he's the one who jumped in. :doh:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Twat. . .dont care if he was our best player against France

carrying out stag night like pranks the night they crashed out the WC sums up the team for me!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saturday, 15 October 2011
Wales v France, SF, 09:00

Sunday, 16 October 2011
Australia v New Zealand, SF, 09:00

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Wales.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wales 3-3 France currently, 22 minutes in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wales 3-6 France.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And that is how it ends at half time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I didn't realise Wales' captain had been sent off. Francois Pienaar is pretty livid with the decision.

[Rors]

@ChrisBryantMP
Chris Bryant
In the half time....

Chris Bret-et?...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wales 3-9 France.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

@ChrisBryantMP
Chris Bryant

Chris Bret-et?...

:lol:

MP's talking about sport (that aren't named Andy Burnham). :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Try for Wales!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not converted though. Wales 8-9 France.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

France win!

[Ollie the Optimist]

that red card killed the game and was a fucking joke too. im not welsh but felt awful for htem. shocking decision, no malice, was a bad tackle and penalty yes but not a red. at worst a yellow

[Syn]

Do France do well in any sports without the ref winning the big games for them?

Great effort from the Welsh; they should be proud of themselves.

[Coney]

I'm sure Shawcross had no malice when he broke Ramsey's leg. However, you have to punish any player carrying out a dangerous tackle whether malicious or otherwise. He knew the rules and should have known that his tackle was dangerous.

[Xhaka Can’t]

This tournament will forever be remembered as the one where the ref decided a semi final and all bit ensured that the Final will be a non event. They should just give the trophy to tomorrows winner, pack up and go home.

Watching the All Blacks tear the frogs a new asshole will be a non-event?

[Cripps_orig]

Rugby :lol:

A team that scores the only try of the game loses.

Thats like a football team scoring the only goal of the game and losing.

Saw the red card tackle. Looked no worse than most of the tackles ive seen watching rugby.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Wales would have been a better bet against tomorrowd winner, even with 14 men, 13 if you miss out Hook whose contribution was rubbish, they were all over the French.
Halfpenny was really unlucky with his monster kick.

And you're right the ref got it all wrong with his assessment of the tackle that lead to the red, its a rugby not Come Dancing!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watching the All Blacks tear the frogs a new asshole will be a non-event?

Wouldn't surprise me if France beat the All Blacks actually. However I think Australia would hammer them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Australia vs New Zealand starts soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Try for the All Blacks! They've been hammering Australia since the start.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not converted however by Weepu.

New Zealand 5-0 Australia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weepu smacks the post from a pelanty! :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weepu gets this one. New Zealand 8-0 Australia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

New Zealand 8-3 Australia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drop goal from Cruden.

New Zealand 11-3 Australia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drop goal for Australia.

New Zealand 11-6 Australia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wallabies can't help but keep giving away pelanties.

New Zealand 14-6 Australia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And that is how it ends at half time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

New Zealand 17-6 Australia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

New Zealand 20-6 Australia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Australia out. :lol:

[Seaman's Ponytail]

Australia out. :lol:

As i mentioned earlier I'm no rugby fan but will always support NZ in everything and last night our boys were awesome. Aussie's whipped and deservedly so. Just wish the game wasn't on so late, 9pm kick-off in your own coutnry is just daft. Had to get some sleep b4 work so couldn't watch us beat Sunderland until now :d

[Cripps_orig]

We'll have a new World Champ then in my lifetime as a Rugby fan.

Not that ive watched any of the WC this year thanks to the ridiculous match times

[Cripps_orig]

Aussies beat Wales in the 3rd place play off

[IBK]

Wales treated this match with the lack of focus the fixture deserved.

[Cripps_orig]

Isn't there something usually riding on it? I remember back in the 90s when England lost to Lomu in the semis and they were in the play off and there was talk that the winner gets automatic qualification for the next WC

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They would have already qualified I suspect.

The final kicks off in a minute. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

New Zealand 5-0 France at half time. France have done well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Try for France!

[Syn]

Try for France!

France have been quite unlucky. That NZ kicker has been terrible though.

NZ 8-7.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And it is converted!

New Zealand 8-7 France. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Missed pelanty for France, it was way out but they had to go for it I suppose.

[Syn]

Oddly I find myself cheering on the French...despite the way Wales were knocked out.

It could be that France have won me over because they've showed 'great mental strength and team spirit' and really deserved to win this final. Or it could be that I don't really give a shit and just want some drama.

The truth is probably somewhere in between.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

New Zealand win!

[Marc Overmars]

The Haka is so fucking cool.

[Coney]

The Haka is so fucking cool.

Do they still chuck spears at each other? ;)

[GP]

The Haka is so fucking cool.

scary

[Syn]

The thing I don't get about the haka is why the opponents have to watch. I'd happily just let them waste their energy and keep warming up or summin.

[Coney]

Well, they should watch, but laugh and point at one or two of them to put them off.

[Cripps_orig]

Going by the scoreline alone, seemed like a shocker of a final
