May be given the situation on that day and the two opponents qualities and flaws, there was no other way to win this game? Meaning le XV de la Rose was the smartest team on the field? If the team I support was winning this way: As a supporter, I’d be glad and move on, hoping they’d win the next game as well, but would not feel reassured at all, to be honest… What if Ford can’t kick for shit all of a sudden? Or worse, get injured? A one man game plan is always scary… As a “Latin/Gallic” person, I would be extremely disappointed at the lack of flair and gallantry of a very unimpressive game. We always like a good show. Even if it means defeat, as those of you who know our culture understand. Let’s see what Scotland has in store, now. I personally hate the way SA play. Horrible ruthless unsexy style… I hope Finn and his crew will be dancing around them like wicked fairies!!!
Pah, you’ve just done it again!! Did mighty England kick arse again? * Just watched the highlights. Just got to Canada and I can’t fuken sleep, Mrs kicked me out… Now I ain’t no expert but that red card looked absolute bollocks. Wouldn’t be the officials hating on us again would it?

Meaning no disrespect to Argentina but if England can’t carry the ball for a try they’re going to get clobbered by better Rugby playing nations. Unless they’re saving their best for better teams? As a “Latin/Gallic” person, I would be extremely disappointed at the lack of flair and gallantry of a very unimpressive game. We always like a good show. Even if it means defeat, as those of you who know our culture understand. Which was kinda my point in likening their style to football….I’d prefer a differing approach but then I’m not the coach.
Now that Japan-Chile game was really entertaining as a neutral. Both teams showing a great hunger to play ball in hand. What a blast!
Well, I stand corrected… the Boks played magnificently against Scotland. They are going to be difficult to beat.
I’m not a big rugby fan, but the England v Argentina match was very entertaining, concur with earlier comments re the red card for our lad. Ridiculous
The Wales Fiji game was a goodun! Esp the welsh dude spinning out at the end of the first half! Close game, that's what we like! Fiji will have to battle australia now to be able to continue! Tough games!
Not what i thought would happen with the above match based on the rockstars ball playing skills, on paper they'd have won comfortably, so it goes to show that anything can happen on the day. So far every team that should've won their first pool game have done so apart the AB and Fiji now.
France v Uruguay tonight which should be an excellent game. France are playing so well it will be difficult for Uruguay to get a result.
Uruguay unlucky on that try when other tops flight teams have played that move for decades and got away with it, also i'm liking their number 9 doing his rock concert crowd surfing move.
So by the looks of things the AB's have swallowed a Slick pill, the other teams need to watch their backs from now on in.
