Anyone watching the Irish-Georgia game.

[disco]

"England are stuck in the dark ages. Lumbering old men getting soundly thrashed. Embarrassing."


Yep...I agree...

Oh boy where England dicked tonight


In you're face Martin Johnson, Austin Healy and Dawson your boys are **** smug *****

You'll at least get 3 points against the Aussies..........

.....imagine not scoring any points at all

An International team not scoring any points in a World Cup match is just shocking, not even a penalty or drop goal

.....and again

hahahahahahaha

come on the Wales

No, i had hopes we could win it but i doubt it now

Wales getting dicked 13-32 at home

Wales can't beat 13 man Australia

Ireland get totally outplayed by ****ing Georgia

Superb entertainment

Makes you think just how effective the Six nations tournament is?

[Taffy]

Let's all laugh at how **** our national teams are!!

England got absolutely murdered against a good SA side last night whilst being totally crap at almost everything they tried! I can't remember the last time I saw England play and not score a single point - amazing!!

Wales did allright at times, but again we fail to take the points when we need to be doing so against the top sides - Stephen Jones' two penalty misses cost us a much closer match today. The Aussies did well and looked threatening at times, although yet again we made big mistakes that lead to two tries in the first half and one in the second - you simply can't afford to do that at international level, never mind against the top sides!

Ireland, well what can I say - two very poor games so far, but two wins that keeps them in there at least! They'll need to up their game ten fold if they have hopes of progressing! I had a handicap bet on the Irish today but in that second half I was willing the Georgians on at times!!

At the end of the day, the Six Nations sides must improve greatly if they want to challenge the Tri Nations teams in the latter stages as presently they are light years behind them so far in the competition!!!

Good points there mate.
At present it seems like the only threat to SA, Ozz and NZ will be Argentina as opposed to the 6 nations.
if that is the case it is a very very sad reflection on the state of the game in the UK and Europe.

Agreed.

However, the likes of the Welsh, Irish, and English (sorry Scots I won't include you at the moment) are all capable of producing games that can seriously trouble the top three nations, but at present it doesn't look like being the case with all three struggling.

haha, how the irish and English can give anybody any stick is beyond me

Wales out played
England ****e
Ireland ****e

Tri nations teams running this world cup

All the Foreign players in European Club Rugby is killing the game. NZ, Aus and SA restrict foreign players in their Local games. It helps give local young players exposure to higher levels.

It's no coincidence that Argentina is doing well with all their players getting exposure in France. Even Georgia has benefitted from this.

yep, its the whole club vs country thing in Wales

difficult one

Superb entertainment

Yup super entertainment but i have just stopped laughing at Englands game on friday NO points you're Eurovision contestants got more points this year

[thesilverfoxlfc]

I think politics has been involved in the venue decisions. France backed Wales' 1999 World Cup bid and got some matches played in France, this is probably pay back since Wales gave France backing for hosting this World Cup.

You are correct Sir

Glad stringer is dropped too. He has been ridiculously bad but tends to get away with it because he's a midget. Political correctness gone mad

He has been very slow in this world cup no fast ball at all and he doesnt break from the scrum either like Reddan and Boss do. Its a good change and hopefully will spice things up and give the French something different to worry about
