Just Bring It.

I had been busy this week and hadn't read any press.

I never knew we were going to be playing our 2nd XV...

What Is The Story About That?

Where the fuck are the Irish, really? :confused:

I'd love to know...

Having said that, I still don't think that France looked all that impressive - a lot of work to do.

South Africe 30 : 25 Tonga

Seriously, I wonder if the small gap wasn't just on the Boks' purpose... England is taken over by Tonga (2nd) in group A...
I mean, I missed the game because I was at a gig yesterday, but S.A. are so "comfortable" that it would be no surprise to me if they didn't let Tonga play on purpose...

Nah, Tonga just played their legs off and SA underestimated them.

I watched the game and Tonga really pushed them, like Samoa did in the first half of their game with the Springboks.

The All Blacks didn't even play that well! There is no other team in the world that can alternate from playing like shit to sheer brilliance in the space of 30 seconds.

They weren't at their best and still dominated a team of Scotlands calibre - if Carter's kicking had been up to scratch, it would have been nearly 50-0.

Although I still think that South Africa are the team to beat, as they look so solid, but if the All Blacks can kick out the kinks then no-one can beast them.

Anyone see England-Samoa?

What a difference Wilkinson makes, lol!

Damn they are reliant on him, not only to score points with his boot, but also to make play on the field (he's the onyl player they have who can).

At least England proved that they can score tries (although they were very lucky with their first), but they are still a piss-poor team really. Still too slow for my mind, no-one has anypace and it will cost them against the likes of Australia, NZ and SA.

But I don't think they'll get that far: I think Tonga will beat them to be honest.

Scotland rested most of their first-choice players to keep them fresh for the final group game against Italy on September 29, which has become a play-off for a place in the last eight.

Talk about negativity. That would never have happened in the old days.

It is pretty negative isn't it? Having said that, it didn't look like the All Blacks were taking it that seriously, there wasn't much urgency about them a lot of the time.

I hope to God Scotland beat Italy...

I'm betting that Tonga will go through over England.

My heart says that Ireland will go thorugh over the Argies, but my head isn't so sure!

England actually played really well against Tonga. Boring as fuck for a while, but picked up in the second half.

Tonga were awesome. Every Tongan in Auckland was out on the streets partying all day Friday.

I'm picking Argies to beat Ireland.

I think you're right about SA being the team to beat at the moment.

The England Vs Tonga Game Was O.K.Tonga Let Made Too Many Mistakes And Were Just A Few Points Behind At Half Time.

The AB's Were Good,But Need To Think Big With The Next Round Coming Up.

It's GoodBye To The Whelsh Team After Fiji Took The Game By 4 Points.

Scotland were pretty uninspiring.

Deserved to win though I thought.
