    England need a decent half time kicking

    Otherwise, do the Irish want to share a taxi to the airport

    i really enjoyed the ireland game, is it still too early to think about them at the final?

    i am wondering what the flipping heck is going on in the france game!?
  • i am wondering what the flipping heck is going on in the france game!?

    Agreed... what the hell is going on?! England play well, get close to the French line and then fall apart for the next 15 mins..

    TBH, England are playing dogshit....
  • England have had one of the most uninspiring overall World Cup performances I think I've ever seen. They've just about managed to scrape together wins against teams they should have demolished and are now about to have their ar5es handed to them by the French. Must have been taking pointers from the England football team.

    Good job we're still #1 at cycling. Not that anyone actually gives a toss about that.

    i am officially no longer interested in the rwc.

    as it happens, its probably fair when you consider england's whole performance, it is certainly fair when you consider today's performance.

  • Ok, so we are out. We deserve to be out. But in rugby it's ok for us to support Wales going forward. So I'm off to by a bag of limes, some string and a blowup sheep ready to party welsh style!
    All hail the FSM and his noodly appendage!

    SO are the England rugby team trying to underperform the football team at major tournaments now? That was pretty much as good as the World Cup in South Africa.

    I had money on Wales to win this game but they're already a man dow after 20 min for a tackle that really only deserved yellow! This will allow France a chance of winning but I'm not writing Wales off it will just be a lot more difficult!

  • Cant beleive the surrender monkey won that, wales had their chances too.

    Hell yes. Well played by both teams, and an utterly enthralling ending.
    So gutted that that last kick went under though, the whole of Wales was cheering for a few seconds!

    France are set to be the latest country to be troubled financially,

    due to the large payout the referee is set to receive.

    we should've won. even with 14 men we were th ebetter team. but hey ho, we had our chances.

    lets just hope we smash whoever we play on friday to prove the point that it should be us in the final!!

    Sending off was a joke

    And mr halfpenny a couple of inches short, not the first time he's heard that.

    Played wales, least you get to snag the Aussies again

    That was tough on your lot Kev - I was rooting for them as the last UK team (honest). Don't want to see the soap dodgers win, so it's come on NZ now.

  • That's the first Rugby game I've watched (brought up with football) and have to say I really enjoyed it! I had a couple of friends explaining what was happening etc. but I got there quite quickly.

    Bad luck Wales, you deserved a better score I think.

    Me thinks I'll be watching the final though :D
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Your football team wouldn't be able to win the world cup with 14 men either!
