J.F.,What Is French Feeling On This Game?

Sesh,Can Scotland Pull This Off?

[Seshmeister]

Definitely maybe.

Scott Patterson hasn't missed a single kick yet.

We haven't seen the best of Scotland yet and most of the pundits here think we will beat Argentina.

Australia will destroy us in the semi's though if we make it...

Basically Australia are already in the final.

I Don't Know About The Aussies,The Canadian Team Kept Them To A Low Score And Up Front They Look Shit.

I Hope The Scots Beat Argentina Too.

So do I, but I think that the Argies will be too dynamic - once they get into open play they shread other teams defences.

Scotland's problem is that they don't really have a consistent playmaker. I don't see them winning that match to be honest.

The ig question is will Australia embarass England more than South Africa did?

I don't think so, as England are a lort stronger with Wilkinson making a little bit of play (and it is a little, they are still way too reliant on his boot) and kicking goals.

I think the Aussies, like South Africa, will have way, way too much pace for England, who are possibly the slowest team left.

Austrailia have been getting better with every game Dan.

Jano!! How are you bro?!

Long time no see you around here! I hope you're still doing well!

Bordeaux... Gironde, "somehow" part of the French Rugby land.

FTR: Rugby is essentially practised below the river Loire (roughly, the southern part of France), though there's a big club in Paris - but it's "artificial".
It's strange, BTW, as the northern part is closer to Great Britain, and the best lawns are in the north too. There must be an explanation to that, maybe Jano knows?

And yes, you never know with French people in general.

I'd say 60/40 in favour of the Blacks, though.

I don't mind who wins, as long as there's great rugby on the ground!

At The End Of The Day,Rugby Is The Winner.

England Vs Australia Was A Very Close Game In The End.Only Two Points In The Match.

The Aussie Team Scored First And Then The England Team Seemed To Have The Upper Hand In The Up Front Ball Combat.

It's GoodBye To The Aussie's And England Move On To The Next Round.
