I think the AB's should be reasonable with their advantage and play with just ten men, that would make it interesting for us folks.
I grant you that but aren't other teams made up with individuals, we just need some grease for the cassette, there're only two choices in this world, fast flowing expansive or dumper truck rugby, take your pick. Pete
Yeah well, all spoilt by a really dirty tackle that could see Dupont out for good. Dupont, N’tamak, what else the world needs to beat les Bleus? I am seriously upset tonight, like a lot of my compadres, I can tell you…
I missed that part of the game - that’s not good news at all. I just read that he may have a suspected fractured jaw.
If i'd to pick a final now based on what teams i've seen playing over the past weeks, it would've to be Fiji against France.
Yep, fractured jaw bone. Doctors say 6 weeks. Staff says he’s ultra strong and can make it back in 4, in time to play a semi… We’ll see. Again, I am appalled at the amount of garbage that can be read on UK media/social networks. This team is not done, just because they lost a player. Keep dreaming. The depth they have nationwide is unequalled. Someone will step in and backfill until the skipper is back. And no, Galthié didn’t make a mistake letting Dupont play. Quite the opposite, actually. Dupont needed more game time with Jalibert to be completely ready for the KO stage. But again, being a risk taker exposes you to these « accidents », or murders, should I say. How Deysel could be so reckless? That’s beyond my understanding. We will miss Dupont’s magic in the coming games. Watching him skipper les Bleus is totally awesome and addictive… This kid is in a league of his own. His teammates will have to win the next games for him now, and there couldn’t be a better motivation. Mark my words. PS: If I was supporting Ireland, for instance, I’d be a lot more concerned about losing Sexton…
Your team is looking really sharp Guillaume.A horrible injury to DuPont.I am looking forward to seeing France play the next best team in the final.
Well looks like England have been hogging all those electric car chargers for themselves, my advice from now all in keep those players as the first fifteen it seems to be working well.
Yes, after they needed a jump start. The first 20 minutes showed England started cocky against lowly opposition who gave them a wake up call. Still not impressed by the number of basic handing errors. Andy
Oooh, we showed Chile didn’t we? 71-0! I do laugh at all the plaudits and fawning after we twatted the mighty Chile. Who have we got next? Anyone decent? Then we’ll get twatted Rugby must be a bookies dream. The best team always prevails.
Previous match scores by the big teams, so England doing the same. SA 76-0 France 96-0 New Zealand 71-3 Ireland 82-8
That Ireland - South Africa game…. Spectacular !!! Too bad SA can’t kick for shit when facing the poles…
I'm not the worlds greatest RU fan but that was some game, fast, tough, honest & no nonsense. And I be SA are rueing there missed opprtunities... what was it 11 missed points? So is it going to be easier for SA to come again after defeat or for Ireland to maintain that level?
I think both teams can take a lot of confidence from that match and up their game for the next clash.
