Sa - Aus it is then... sigh... the Aussies mess everything up...

Dan Carter is OUT, for the rest of the WC!!!!!!! NZ are still dangerous but Carter is the biggest blow they could of gotten... Man and I was mourning the loss of Steyn, he's a important player to the Boks but not like Carter is to the Ab's...

by Shamirr Mon Oct 03, 2011 1:24 am

With Carter out this WC no longer has a favourite! Aus and SA are looking good, NZ looks to be rampant but Carter loss changes that, Wales and England also look dangerous. It's all up in the air now...

Bakkies Out of the aus game... Sad

We really didn't need that; Aus are already in better form and are massive favs for this one, so whyTF is Murphey kicking us when we are down?

New Zealand will choke Very Happy

The aussies will win it Very Happy

by TheRedStag Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:58 pm

If New Zealand do choke in the Semi's, then Ireland will have an easier final!

Ireland will win this world cup.

If NZ lose I don't think it will just be about choking I just don't think Slade isn't ready although they are still considered favourites but I don't think they will win the WC.

hmmm... Gotta agree with this, however I do think that this is one of the most unpredictable QF's since I've been watching rugby... All the QF's can go either way. Wales are dark Horses, Fance are inconsistent but on their day brilliant, SA have a solid pack and with our exp anything can happen, and NZ have all the pressure on them plus no carter. I know people are all like "he's a great player but there are a lot of great players in that team" and that's totally true, but it should not be underestimated how much of NZ's play is dictated by him, and maybe Slade steps up but from what i've seen he may just Crumble... So considering that and considering NZ does tend to struggle against hard hitting teams (in knock-out rugby) that qf may also go against the tide.

What ever happen it's gonna be an awesome weekend!

McCow has predicted a Puma victory over All Blacks :coffee:

If Argentina and Aus were to win it will make my day. Very Happy

Ireland vs Wales is great so far.

by Shamirr Sat Oct 08, 2011 6:48 am

Ireland are paying for playing irresponsible rugby. This game should be 10 -9. Wales are doing a great job but really I have no idea why Ireland decided not to kick... Hopefully they wake up in the second half.

by Patrick Bateman Sat Oct 08, 2011 7:02 am

Get innnnnnn

by Magricos Sat Oct 08, 2011 7:42 am

Wales was great.

by Magricos Sat Oct 08, 2011 7:42 am

Eng vs France in 50 mins.

by Shamirr Sat Oct 08, 2011 7:43 am

Great game from Wales! However I do feel very sorry for O'Driscoll.

by Albiceleste Sat Oct 08, 2011 7:47 am

Wales was very impressive.

by Magricos Sat Oct 08, 2011 10:27 am

I had a feeling about France although their team has problems they are just so talented.

by Shamirr Sat Oct 08, 2011 12:14 pm

Yeah they are, but I do feel that Wales has the edge on them... Either wasy it was a good result for NZ, SA and Aus, I'd rather the SH teams face France in a final than England...

by Magricos Sat Oct 08, 2011 1:42 pm

Their coach still reminds me a little of Raymond Domenech.

by Shamirr Sat Oct 08, 2011 2:03 pm

that's true...

by Shamirr Sat Oct 08, 2011 6:55 pm

So psyched!!! Can't wait for tomorrow!!! I think it's pretty awesome that we are proper under dogs, means we can go all out! If Aus go through they must pay in blood and bones!!!
