  1. An Irishman, Scotsman & a Welshman go into a bar.... the Englishman didn't bother because he was still in France.

  2. It’s not how you get there, it’s the win that counts.
     
  3. I blame the English refs in the other games…
    No I blame the draw two years ago …
    ‍♂️
     
  4. Weather warning of floods (of tears) in areas of Scotland, Wales & Ireland… :D
     
  5. To be followed by….delayed flooding in Englandshire:grinning:

  6. We are already delighted to have mae it as the last northern hemisphere team and only one in the semis when you think we have played the shittest rugby for at least 10 years.

    (France will go out - boks looking way too strong tonight only 19 min in)

  7. I don’t imagine it will make any difference who wins tonight, England’s fate will be the same.

  8. Gutted for France as they're my pick for the final, i don't get it when they could've kick for a lineout and bagged 5 points, but they went for a penalty instead..............game lost in my opinion at that stage.
    So it's down to England to kick their arses next week.!

  12. Not at all. For sure SA will drub us because they’re much, much better at the moment. The boys have done good thus far :D
     
  13. Alas indeed… By one little point. Ugh… :oops:

    BOLLOCKS !!!! SACREBLEU !!! Sh*#%T!!! F#%*K!!!

    But what a game. The Boks’ wingers (Kolbe & Arendse) are so fast. Incredible. Beautiful, even. Where did that Kolbe counter come from, when Ramos was kicking? Did Kolbe actually run from behind his line faster than Ramos little three steps to the ball? We’ll never know, as we didn’t get to see where he came from on TV. But man, that’s a super hero type speed if he did. Never saw that happen before.
    Bocks were ruthless at the rucks too. Borderline even a couple times.

    Les Bleus played great again, but a little less accurate than usual, may be. I think both teams were very nicely matched for this game.

    Reffing? I don’t know. This game was so freaking fast. Dupont, otherwise a pretty quiet and disciplined lad, is reported by our media to be utterly upset with the reffing.

    In a nutshell, Les Bleus were Bocksed…

    6 Nations coming up. And boy, are we ready! We can start next week, no problem, once England has been destroyed by SA. :D

  14. I’m not so sure Bradders, even the English are not doing much rooting. All you hear after each game is how well the opposition played.
     
  15. I'm not really a fan of rugby but that game last night was a superb advert for the sport. What a match!

    Should have been the final.

  16. I was rooting for Samoa - they should have won that one. They had a try disallowed because of a knock on that had to be replayed about 20 times and was still uncertain.

    Talking with actually football mates about which "other" shirt you would wear

    Would not wear at all:
    Scotland
    Wales
    Ireland
    France

    Would ware
    Argentina
    Fiji
    Samoa
    Almost any other !!
     
  17. Gutted for France

    I really don’t like Faf Le Klerk… I love seeing him get a smack in the mouth from a big forward.

    I hope England bring their A game but I fear it might not be enough

  18. Not sure what he actually added to the Boks’s game apart from swishing his hair and falling over a lot.
    Cheslin Colby however, class.

  19. I thought the England game was a good watch, they did well although it got twitchy.

    Then watching the French V Boks, unbelievable game. So fast! Both teams were in a different league.

    I think we’re going to get hit by a steam roller on Saturday. As someone stated in a previous post, we’ve been rubbish for years, can’t believe we’ve got this far! Credit where it’s due but I won’t be placing a bet on England. Although I wouldn’t wear any other country’s shirt full stop!

  20. I'm a huge fan of Mr Shampoo, he's done wonders for Sale Sharks, but yes a poor game yesterday when he came on for that short period.
