I thibk SA are going to come a cropper against NZ. Ireland are going well - they do have the ability to go the whole way if they can keep it together.

so it should be a good game then???, i dont know anything about Rugby(bum sniffers IMO)....its cricket and "the world game"-soccer for me.
also guess the Aussie cricketers fly out to JoBerg this week for a short tour....the Aussies dont stand a chance at the moment in cricket

Ireland out - England out. Both Wales and France played brilliantly.

dont know anything about rugby, but just watched the match between SA and Aust....
great intense game, didnt care who won or lost but IMO SA didnt have enough possession of the ball to be able to say they deserved to win.

Statistically, SA had far more possession and played the game in Australia's half, but they could not finish and made some really stupid decisions when they should have stuck to the way SA normally play - which is running rugby. Instead they kicked the game away. And the assistant ref on the near side needs glasses. Plenty of high tackles on both sides of the fence. Far too dangerous for the modern game especially with the power these guys have now. Still, congrats to Australia - they had more creativity in their game. A close one but a very good game to watch. CH, is this your way of getting me back for landing you with Dani?

no not really Jerome, i had no interest in either side winning, as i kniw nothing about rugby, and i dont blindly support the Aussies because they are Ausssies....in fact England is my cricket team, always have been(even throught he last dismal decade) and always will be.
...that said it was goos to see a close hard fought contest rather than a one sided demolition.

Game barely over and the SA coach is gone. That's the way it is in SA. You don't deliver - you get axed.
