MichaelRobartes Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hard luck Wales. Great effort against a limited but functional side with that many injuries. RSA aren't special at all. Can't see them beating NZ.Over to you, France... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Only saw the first 20 minutes then went to the cinema. Came out to a couple of Facebook statuses indicating that France god hammered- shipping 62 points is more than a hammering!!! Sounds like they threw the towel in second half though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 ABs really turned up last night. If they keep that level of performance up they are going to be unstoppable. Glad it came against the French Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 What a contrast between the two quarter finals played yesterday.Wales and South Africa spent 80 minutes running into each other, hoping that eventually someone would miss a tackle. All braun and hope.Whereas New Zealand spent 80 minutes looking to create space and passing the ball, it was skill and creativity to drool over.They showed that top rugby is played by soft hands and skill, England take note!

MichaelRobartes Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Well played Pumas. Thoroughly deserved. We did well to get back into it then ran out of puff. Ultimately we weren't good enough and the best team won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Just goes to show how far Northern Hemisphere teams have got to go. The Southern teams are getting closer to a team of skillful flankers from 1-15. Everyone can carry, everyone has an engine, everyone can pass, everyone is good at the breakdown. Added to that consistency at set pieces, the North is miles behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Bleh, was cheering on the green today but not to be. Thought they were going to push in the second half, but for me noticeable how the Irish and French both looked knackered in the last quarter. Injuries and a big game last week relative to their opponents was just to much. If it would have made the difference in the Irish case who knows, but has turned in to the slaughter of the Northern Hemisphere.See ROI got Bosnia in the football as well. Could have been worse.
