Rugby Union World Cup!!!!

[Xordan]

A final is a totally different game to qualifier however, so I don't expect another 36-0 thrashing.

[Elacia]

43-0, then?

[Mordraugion]

We aren't the same team that SA beat last time, witness the defeat of the Aussies and the French, I think it'll be a far closer game than that 36-0

[RoberetGoldsmith]

Keep in mind that, in the final, we shall be facing South Africa. The best rugby team in the world, who but a month ago subjected us to a 36-0 thrashing.

Actully the All blacks are Ranked  1st as the best team

Seven? Ireland at seven? No way! Maybe I should stop booing at them then.

[Kiirani]

France Knock out  the All black ( supposedly the best team in the world , thats new zealand for those not in the know )

Damn right we are! Apart from that slip.

Okay, that's the extent of my rugby knowledge *wanders out*

Notice England is 3rd

Which only goes to show just how inaccurate the list is. Between World Cups we have played abysmally, which is why everyone's so surprised and excited we're doing well in the World Cup.

True before the cup I think we were tenth maybe. But I think because we beat Austrilia and  France (along with the other victories  , Tonga ect) We have manage to get back there

Also congratz to Argentina who manage to beat france to get 3rd place in the cup

[Elacia]

But the all blacks were eliminated two rounds ago, i woulda thought that would stick them under SA

[Parallo]

Having a crowd over tonight. Even us losers want to watch

[Xordan]

Ah well.. SA deserved to win it.

lol, kid nearly dropped the cup in the tunnel! xD

hehe yeah saw that


Well on the night , SA deserved it,  I think we were just too tired after 70 mins, modest in defeat as always

P.S that was soooo a try!!!! 

[Xordan]

hehe, I'm not sure it was actually. The rules say that as soon as any part of the body touches the white line the ball is out of play.. and his boot did appear to touch the edge just as he lifted his foot.

It  as his knee wasn't it? he lifted his foot up but his knee was on the line

[Xordan]

No, I'm pretty sure that he put the ball down before his knee reached it, but his boot touched the edge of the line just as he lifted it. I'll need to see another replay
