yeah, best to ignore all that and focus on the actual games.This thread has taken a turn since i was in here last!
hopefully we'll see some good ones between Wales/France and Jpn/SA.
Head says Wales & SA, heart says France & Jpn.
Aren't we beautfiul? Best not-so-small country in the world.
Yeah, some absolute tripe being posted last few pages!
Yeah two good games. Hopefully Wales can come through and beat France (i think they will) and i really want Japan to progress. I just think SA will overpower them. I love the way Japan play, though.
Missed the 1st half of England vs Australia game this morning. On the 2nd half showing, England looked really good and got the job done in comfortable fashion.
New Zealand vs Ireland - was expecting New Zealand to win and they clinically did just that. Ireland couldn’t live with them but then again, don’t think there is any nation in the world that can stop them when they really are on form. Such a joy to watch.
Tomorrow we have the final two quarter finals ties and both look like real crackers, particularly the latter one:
Wales vs France
Japan vs South Africa

SA caffers, after yesterday's performance do you really wish this morning you were playing Ireland instead of Japan?
I think Japan can do it. The only spanner in the works is how effectively Scotland were able to get back at them in the second half. It looked ominously like they'd emptied the tank and hit the wall.

Absolute horrible generalisation here. Classic example of you reading a couple of troll Welsh comments and decide to blanket the whole nation with it. I’m an avid Scarlets fan, I meet many Blues, Ospreys and Dragons fans - we adore the Pro14.
Jonathan Davies is gonna be a big miss, gotta hope Hadleigh Parkes is fit again cos he wasn't great against Uruguay.
Brilliant from France. Would be nice if Wales could wake up now.
Absolute magic.
Wales getting battered, loving it.
Am I doing it right?

That's on you.Wales getting battered, loving it.

That’s superb from Wainwright. What a start to this game!
That's on you.
Yellow card after about 10 seconds on the pitch. Great stuff.
Could be a crucial sequence. Navidi off, Moriarity on, Moriarty off for a dangerous tackle.
So when you get booked do you come off the pitch for a while?
Ten mins.
I feel like France have to build up a score. Wales will probably have better fitness levels.

yeah maybe Ireland would've been better for us. But overall, we clearly on the easy side of the draw. If we make the final, we may be a bit undercooked.Ya, 10 minutes in the sin bin. Much better system than football, but it is also much more difficult to get a yellow in rugby.
Aaah I see! Thank you.

France had an extra week off!
Surprised by that. It was a really tough angle after he had taken a huge hit.
I think that might be debatable, it's getting easier to get yellows - with good reason too, as the game tries to eliminate neck/head hits.
By the way, I've been working predominantly with SA folks for the last 6 months and I started to fall into saying yahhh too
Still though. Wales look the lighter, fitter team.
Ntmack off. I think it really was a bad decision to go for those three points from that angle when he was hurt.
My word. The sheer stupidity of that!
What a stupid cnut.
Award for the most blatant elbow of all time
Red card for France 5. How unecessary ffs.
So stupid, completely deserved red.
He even looked at the ref after throwing the elbow. fecking hell, gifted us a way back into this.
No words can explain that. I’d be fuming if I was the French team and manager.
I’d be in a coma for about 40 years if I took that elbow to the face.
France gotta France, eh @JPRouve?
that's just unbelievable
France with one foot in the semis and you do that

Did you expect something else?
I had a small amount of hope
It's difficult to have hope when stupidity is always on our side but you never know.I had a small amount of hope
