Anyone watching. I have been since 3.30, the occasional 40 winks on the couch aside. Should have slept through the England game. Nasty stuff.
-
I was going to stay up and watch it but something got in the way.....................oh! that's what it was.....LIFE!
Why you'd stay up to watch 12 (is there 6 players on each side?) upper class inbreds throwing an orb around which is an exact replica of your nugget, Lord only knows.
How are Wales doing? you are Welsh right?
Only joshin' Trig

I was sure Scotland would do better against Romania,lots of silly mistakes and England wow I cant see the N Hemisphere teams lasting that long unless they get their fingers out, easgach1
-
Iain shut it. Easgach England will improve I reckon and will top their group. France have huge potential and the also ran's will hopefully put up a good show. I'm hoping Ireland's poor showing recently is all tactical but they are probably just shite.
Japan have been the team for me so far, what a brilliant team effort. Little guys with hearts of lions :z14
-
never stayed up to watch,but watched highlights in the morning before work,scotland had a strong 1st half then they went to sleep 2nd half.
It is the same old story in every competition with england,all the hype is unreal,whether it be tiddly winks or football,1966 is their claim to fame,and the 1st team to defeat them after that was s??????d.
anyway,back to rugby.as a scotland fan i never expect to win any tournement,england cant help themselves,and with wilkinson taking conversions :z4.ireland and wales are 2 very strong teams,but dont have the strenth and stamina to win this 1,early days but my money is on new zealand,with home advantage and brute strenth

I have been watching this, and was absolutely gutted when Wales lost.
Reckon the Uk teams will get better, and hopefully can at least win a couple of games.
Roll on next weekend..
At least they play with the proper shaped ball... :z18

Hi, Dutchfly,
I think they call that "Total Football " ..... :z2 :z2 :z2 :z2 :z2
:z4 :z4 :z4
I wonder why Holland are not in the Rugby World Cup though ?
or Belgium ( Ok then ! ) , or Germany ????? .
Given the advances that countries like Italy , Romania , Japan ???? ETC. have made.

That's easy, Paul. Holland's only got about 8000 rugbyplayers. That's seniors, juniors and women combined. We'll never be a force in rugby...
15-6 over Georgia, so 2-0. Good start for Scotland. No matter if the play isn't superb, it's the result that counts. Holland played terrible for most of the soccer WC and still made it to the final.

Never say never ! Look at Italy and the eastern Europeans and how they have developed.
Holland FT couldn't have played that terrible to make it to the Finals !!
Agree though that Scotland have ground out the results , much more solid against Georgia. Long may it continue !!!
I have a feeling that it may well be the bonus points that decide the Group though.
All the Best,

Always impressive
We went to a proper maori place a were greeted with similar.
Funny how it's supposed to be a show of respect for your opponents/guests
But comes across as intimidating.
Brilliant to watch though.

Disappointing result today, but the pumas lived up to their name, Scotland should have done better in the rain, easgach1

Hi ,
England tomorrow. Oh Pleeeeese !!!
Come on Scotland !!

Best of luck this morning to Scotland.

What can you say ? So very hard on a Valiant Scottish effort. Anyone's game right up to the last.
:z6 :z19 :z19 :z19

So near yet so far, it was hard to bear :z19

It's difficult, I know, often been there with Ireland. Take into consideration there are something like 15,000 registered senior rugby players in Scotland comparing to more than 120,000 in England and ye may feel a bit better.
-
Hi Noel,
Nope not really !! Just seems to be the way it's going at the moment eh ?
After Georgia I,m supporting Ireland ! :wink

There are so many things I want to say but don't want to offend anyone so I'll keep my gob shut.
Except, when a man is tackled and let go he is not tackled, and should not be penalised for not releasing.
And when a man is impeded after he chips the ball forward that is a penalty.
Harsh result....
:z19 :z1

Oh pish :z10 ...... and that's all I have to say about that game.
H :z3

Yep,
The referee's interpretation of the rules at clinical points in the game was a wee bit hard to take at times.
For us folks who know our rugby :wink
It'll be said that we were not there to see it , and the ref was , which is of course true.
But ... and here is but one more example ,
how can the tackled player (Scottish of course ) be penalised for not releasing when he has obviously tried to feed the ball back ( the ball is caught between his knees !!) but has been prevented from doing so by the weight of the english forwards on top of him . If we can see that on the telly why can't the ref. see that too ?
The non tackle question is valid too. In fact another Scottish player carried out a carbon copy move two minutes later and was not penalised . Inconsistent refereeing at many other points in the game mostly in terms of penalty awards to england .
Some very poor decisions there.
Sour grapes ? You bet . The lesser team won and they knew it.
Paul.
PS: So there I,ve said it ! :grin

Well done Ireland, just Wales to beat (which they are more than capable of) and its into the last 4 :z16

More chance of being sucked to death by a Tulip mate.... :z4
They are playing very well though.. but so are Wales..To win by such a margin and keep Fiji down to a zero points total, speaks volumes..
Being Welsh I pray for wales to win of course, but whoever wins it should be a superb game, with the winner being in with a real chance of going all the way... :z18
Bloody shame about Scotland though.. I really thought they would win..and was cheering for them all the way...and maybe they should have.

One more thing :mad
Delon Armitage got a ONE match ban today for a high, foul tackle on Chris Paterson.
Don't recall any penalty being given for that....
:mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad

There were several penalty offences which were not picked up. Some of the blocking of kickers looked suspiciously like training ground moves....

I don"t wish to gloat, but then again

seriously though, we"re playing that bad we just might win it :z7
-
So Wales are still in there then.. and will play France in the semi's.. Hopefully the way they are playing they will get to the final... Its anybodys to win now..
Come on the taffs..... :z16
-
Hi Keith, good stuff out of Wales today. The dream continues and in some style :z16 Was disappointed for Ireland of course but ye were way better than us today. I for one will be supporting ye all the way.

Aye the best team won on the day, not found any fishing in Poland yet, found Jimmy Bradley's Irish Pub who opened at 07:00 to show the rugby :z13
