Too bad about the advantage, could've been interesting.

In the end he scots were in the game only in the first half - the second half was all oz even though they gave away that concelation try.
oh well we will just take it out on the dutch in the football no problem..😉

The Aussie dummy runners have been a bone of contention for may years - personally I think they take the piss (sorry for language late on Sat night and we lost by a point today not happy).

NZ will beat Australia the Ausies have nothing to offer - I mean stuglling against the sweaties!😵

well-all the aussie tryies were borne of mistakes. it was, i thought, very even throughout-even although the final score didn't show it as such. however-scotland still have the problem they've had for the last couple of years-scoring...paterson can kick, but we have problems with try's...

i saw 2 definate bits of crossing, and the obstruction which they got pulled up for (when roberts got through a gap, but one of our props was being obstructed so he couldn't tackle him?)

AUSTRALIA'S INTO THE SEMI FINALS!! Albiet, against the All Blacks, and will probably play against England if they win!
Easy trophies for Oz.

Not sure if you are watching the same world cup. The Aussies will find it very tough to win it this time.

i will be watching the game and hoping we will win, both matches. But we need to put on two really big match performances. The Aussies have not completed an 80 game all season. We play well for a time and badly at other times.

What can I say about England?
Dreadful game, they looked like losers but managed to win somehow.
Well played to the Welsh, I almost started supporting them halfway through.

Oh, and my predictions weren't that far out. France proved too good for Ireland and will be too good for England if they play like they did on Sunday. Probably NZ for the title now 🙁

NZ over Aus, France over England.

France over NZ.


Neither France, Aus nor NZ has impressed me in this WC. Whenever you are in danger of losing to Wales or Scotland, you know you are crap.

True that! England are not a pretty team but they will be really up for the France game and I think they will pull through with the 'let's give it to Johnny so he can kick all our points' tactic. Probably the eventually winners will be NZ but being compleatly bias, I'm saying still that England are going to be WRC 2003 Champions! 😏

Right.

Well done to all the teams through to the semis. *grits teeth* I am not in the closet as I am waiting for Straeuli to come out.What a complete loser this guy is.We stuck with him through numerous poor performances.Record defeats to England,NZ and Scotland.Almost saw our backsides against Argentina and Scotland at home earlier this year.He has been promising and promising.After evey mediocre performance we were told"Hard work needs to be done" I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read a report in a newspaper yesterday quoting him saying"hard work lies ahead" I hope the hard work he is talking about is on a farm somewhere in the Karoo driving a tractor.

I have had it with this guy.I mean I dont like Clive Woodward but what he did on Saturday was pure genius.Called on Catt to relieve the pressure on Wilkinson.That is what coaching is about.A bit like chess really.Come to think of it I am to chess what Straeuli is to rugby.He should do the honourable thing and resign.That is if he can find someone willing to help him complete the form.

Now prediction time....aaah to hell with it I never get it right anyway.
