who follow RWC here

I do and All Blacks is my home team

johnbeth · 8 September 2011, 04:37 PM

Cool !

limenko · 8 September 2011, 04:51 PM

The next seven weeks will be outstanding! I will be following the Wallabies religiously.

ABs clearly the best team around but if we can produce form like we did two weeks ago we will be hard to beat. Here is hoping for an ABs v Wallabies final

Grumpy Badger · 8 September 2011, 05:54 PM

Go...... Scotland!

speedo · 8 September 2011, 05:59 PM

my heart is divided between the wallabies and the pumas. will be hard following it from europe.
during the last rwc i was in oz so i am not really good with rugby logistics.

Andad · 8 September 2011, 06:00 PM

Hey Grumpy.

I was born in Aderdeen, emigrated to Auckland in 1965 as an 18 year old and have lived in Oz since 1972.
Go Wallabys, All Blacks and Scotland.
I will be in Auckland for the Irish game on the 17th so might back them for a change.

Talk about covering the bases!

C'mon, Scotland! We can beat even the best when we're on form! Unfortunately it normally means they beat one of the tournament favourites in a great upset and then get humped by a team from a tiny island the size of my garden!

I passed on those tix Eddie as i got an invite too late and it would have cost me $2K return for flights!! Btw Ireland have the best rugby anthem in Ireland's Call, followed closely by Flower of Scotland.

blackmsport · 8 September 2011, 06:48 PM

I think the four final team will be

NZ
Aust
SA
England

but don't write off the French and some Islander teams just yet

blackmsport · 10 September 2011, 07:04 AM

AB played welll first half but tumbled a but second half

they won still with great passes and quick runs

GolfPunk · 10 September 2011, 08:05 AM

- Time to put the scotch down and sober up!!
I think you would stand a better chance donning kit to David Sole, Finlay Calder, John Jeffrey & Hastings Bros.

Actually the Scots were a pretty awesome team back then

Best of luck to all the Home Nations - but I think it is NZ to lose...

Grand Slam '90!

Thanks for bringing back VERY happy memories! That walk out of the tunnel was inspired!

John Jeffrey used to be a couple of farms over from me when I lived in Kelso and I still often see a slightly more recent legend in Doddie Weir.

Big Richie Gray has a bit of that spirit!

Grumpy Badger · 10 September 2011, 06:52 PM

Moderately decent start from Scotland last night and just watching the Argentina/England game as I type.

Just noticed that TAG Heuer are doing the timing. I've never noticed them having any involvement with rugby before...

Luckily for you guys Argentina couldn't hit a barn with their kicking at the moment.

Grumpy Badger · 10 September 2011, 07:47 PM

...mind you, in the second half neither can Jonny!

LeotheLion · 10 September 2011, 07:58 PM

Jonny Wilkinson has now missed four penalty kicks on thr trot Unbeleivable.

Andad · 10 September 2011, 08:02 PM

Palmers on - a quick try - I hope Palmer can kick goals.

LeotheLion · 10 September 2011, 08:04 PM

But Ben Youngs just scored a try and Jonny converted Things can get better.Regards

GolfPunk · 10 September 2011, 08:22 PM

We dodged a bullet - phew

LeotheLion · 10 September 2011, 08:23 PM

A few naughty words picked up by the TV sound at the end .B ut a win for England.Well done to them.Regards.

Grumpy Badger · 10 September 2011, 08:25 PM

Obviously, as a Scotsman, I can never be totally impartial when watching the "Auld Enemy" play... But I hope my English friends will forgive me and agree when I say you played a great last quarter but... You're still lucky bar-stewards!!!

daveathall · 10 September 2011, 08:28 PM

Phew....

I will say though....

mrloneranger · 11 September 2011, 02:39 AM

A win is a win I guess but the pumas are definitely getting tougher. Jonny just wasn't on fire with his kicking but neither were they. If the puma's had made there kicks we'd have been in serious trouble a lot earlier.

I did enjoy the o2 ad..

We (pumas) have been the "almost there" team for ages now ... same old story ... man I am #@#@###**%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Explorer 2011 · 11 September 2011, 02:51 AM

My team (England) had a very nervous start today. I thought we were a little soft in the tackle, pushed out of the rooks....and Wilkinson? He's much much better than that....

Got the points I suppose but will have to raise our game massively.

limenko · 11 September 2011, 03:10 PM

That second half was a much needed improvement from the first half by the Wallabies, I'll take the bonus point win anyday. The backline looks very sharp when they get it together, bring on Ireland!

Oldwilsonian · 12 September 2011, 06:23 AM

Springboks got away with one today.....

Welsh were extremely unlucky not to have won - outplayed the 'Boks at their own game - upfront, physical rugby.

That penalty kick that was ruled wide, looked pretty good to me....
