    Semi Finals

    Los Pumas definitely can win, but chances are they won't. Probably the team who have disappointed me the most, actually*. Looked decent for about a half v Japan and twenty minutes against the Leekists, but have generally been bang average. Can't see us laying a glove on RSA either. *Expected...

    Quarter Finals

    Could probably add Rob Baxter to the list (is two names a list? Anyway...) as he's always largely absent from these discussions and has a far more compelling body of work than, oh I dunno, Steve Borthwick, say.

    Quarter Finals

    I prefer to phrase it as "By the time of the next world cup it will be twelve years and counting since the Wobblies made a semi final". :cool2:

    Quarter Finals

    Yeah, Ulster farmers a traditional source of Irish beef. Cork and Limerick in Munster too. Currently though it's all about Leinster.

    Quarter Finals

    It produces a decent amount of quality considering the relatively shallow player pool. They're massively reliant on the Dublin/Leinster fee-paying school system. Blackrock College and St Michael's College the two traditional hotbeds. Something like one in five Irish professionals went to one...

    Quarter Finals

    Heck of a game. Think we're going to get crucified next week.

    Quarter Finals

    Ouch. That's a huge squeak. Unforgivable.

    Quarter Finals

    I'd have Matfield in that bracket too, but yeah, Etzebeth is up there.

    Quarter Finals

    Fecking beast, isn't he?
  10. BoyBrumby

    Quarter Finals

    Yup. I'd guess we're the first semi finalist ever not to have to face one of the original 5 Nations or Tri Nations sides to get there.

    Quarter Finals

    I'd far rather face the French, tbh. They beat us 9/10, but they can always get all gallic and mercurial in a one off. RSA just run straight over us.

    Quarter Finals

    Farrell should've got ten, but I've pretty much given up trying to understand the officials' thinking at this stage. One thing's for sure: this is the worst England side to make a semi.

    Quarter Finals

    Pass from Fidge #10 to #23 was more than slightly forward there...

    Quarter Finals

    Is England enthusiastically celebrating penalties conceded by their oppo starting to grate with anyone else too? Farrell definitely remembered his kicking boots today.
  15. BoyBrumby

    Quarter Finals

    Yeah, looked high at the very least. Consistency be damned.

    Quarter Finals

    Think Curry might be in bother here. Very Fijian try, that. Wonderful combo of silky hands and brute force.
  17. BoyBrumby

    Quarter Finals

    Jeez, Fijian kicker not of the first water, is he? That should've been a gimme at this level.

    Quarter Finals

    Think, were there doubt, the claret on young Marcus's fizzog helped make the ref's mind up.
  19. BoyBrumby

    Quarter Finals

    Lovely passage of play. Think both Smith and Genge were the victims of headshots there though.
  20. BoyBrumby

    Quarter Finals

    The lack of consistency in the officiating is just so infuriating. That was a no arm tackle; surely Curry is due a spell in the bin for that?
