Love to see the Boks to win it , but as long domestic politics determine the teams composition they will not do it.

The French don't want to win this game as the winner of that pool gets the 'privilege' of playing RSA or AUS in the semis and generally has a tougher path to the final. Clearly evident in the side that they named.....my prediction is an easy win for the ABs.

AUS game was a lot better showing but came at a hefty cost due to numerous injuries.

The Rugby World Cup is one of the few times I don't feel guilty having beer for breakfast!

Hope you win, Cru!

good for you living in a rugby playing/watching country. here none cares about rugby and there is no way i can find any usable stream at my workplace so rugby remains a weekend sport for me.....

i'll be watching the ab-france match tomorrow and will definitely root for les bleus.

Certainly rugby is tiny here compared with football but you're right, there will always be a pub with a big game on!
I really miss playing (15 years since I did!) but I think I'll leave my comeback for two more years... Then I can officially play in the "veterans"!

Have to agree don't right of the Welsh side off and just cannot understand why the ref did not order a video replay.Watched later from several angles that ball was between the posts and they should have won the game.But the ref made his decision and thats what we got to abide with.And with just one point the Springboks won the game,but IMHO the Welsh was the better side on the day.And just watched the USA/Aust game no contest as the Aust team dominated the game start to finish 65 points to the USA 5.

I'm looking forward to a great game from NZ.

Stone me! I had to do some work for once this morning so missed the All Blacks v France game this morning...

I'm watching the highlights now and I reckon everyone might as well just pack up and go home! The kiwis as in a different league!

we heard this soooo many times since 87.... hope the boks stop them in the semi.

Sarajevo · 25 September 2011, 08:09 PM

Well done Argentina, they played brilliantly and it is great to see an emerging country finally stake its claim to be in the rugby elite. It must be tough for Scotland, who played well. Though, as I follow Ireland, I have never held Scottish rugby in very high regard since Finlay Calder's attempted decapitation of Jim Staples in 1991.

Pumas ended up with the 3rd place in France 2007, beating France two times including the bronze medal game....incidentally beating Scotland in the quarter finals...

Too bad it looks like we will play the All Blacks down the road this time.

Grumpy Badger · 25 September 2011, 08:55 PM

Bloody great game this morning. The all blacks were sheer class but today was good, old fashioned "blood and guts" rugby!
Obviously I'm gutted by the result but it must have been a great game to watch from a neutral standpoint... Well done Argentina and I just hope now that it spurs the Scots to produce some magic against the "Auld Enemy" next week.

speedo · 25 September 2011, 09:25 PM

bien hecho pumas!
was very disappointed seeing the pumas losing against england, now it was their turn.

would be fabulous seeing them advancing from the group and causing an even bigger upset in the knockouts......

kultschar · 26 September 2011, 08:19 AM

Im a Welshman so better add my support as a bit quiet in here for Wales!!!!

Still reeling from the Boks game however Samoa deserved to beat us so I believe it has evened itself out!!

If we can get past Fiji I fancy us beating Ireland to make the semis!!!

Some poor decision making by the Scots today and that missed tackle leading to the try was a shocker!

12 tries today for Wales. Our prop did a 40m run, a few side steps and went over, was like watching Shane Williams

Namibia must be the weakest team in this WC mind!

Did you see them shaking hands as they walked off? One of the Welsh props shook hands with a Namibian back that was smaller than his regular morning crap.
