Saturday England vs Wales : it will be an important game in the World cup. Sometimes such games are less beautiful to see.

Satinca · 2015-09-26 22:55:23

It was the best match of the World Cup at the moment ! I like when the English lose

The South Africa vs Samoa game finished at 03:00am and I went to bed straight after then got up at 04:30am to watch the England vs Wales game; and I'm glad I did! It was a great game, wasn't it? I'd say it was the most exciting game after the SA vs Japan game last weekend. I'd been listening to a lot of rugby podcasts during the week and they were all mixed as to who would win. I was supporting Wales but secretly wanting a draw because that would open pool A right up! The Australia vs Uruguay game is on now. It's 31 - 3 and I don't think Uruguay is going to have a second half comeback. Perhaps it will be 60-10 by the end?

Such a great World Cup!

A few big games this weekend.

NZ vs Georgia, expect some big hits from the Georgians.
Japan vs Samoa, Japan MUST win AND get a bonus point to continue to the quarter finals.
South Africa vs Scotland, this will be epic!
England vs Australia, and this one will be Titanic!

For the first time in my life I was supporting South Africa but only because it helped Japan's chances of going through!

I don't know who to support for the England vs Australia game, I feel bad for whichever team fails to go through; pool A is incredibly tough!

I like this World cup ! England is out

Hahaha, poor England. Poor, poor, England.

That was such a tough pool but Australia is looking scarily good now.
I'm really looking forward to watching Australia play Wales.
I'm not looking forward to watching Australia play New Zealand though!

At this point the All Blacks haven't been tested since they played Argentina and I'm starting to worry how they will handle the quarter finals.

But I always believe when it comes to the Mighty All Blacks!

Japan had a good win last night against Samoa, too!

Bob Jarunkel · 2015-10-05 04:18:48

"Poor bloody England" lol. Stuff the poms! They said pre match not one of the Wallabies would be good enough to make the English squad. Haha. Tell ya what though Wales aren't playing to bad (they are my 2nd team in the cup) ;-) and I reckon the Aus v Wal game should be a cracker. Wouldn't worry about your All Blacks Winston, they'll be in good form.

Satinca · 2015-10-11 19:46:56

Ireland was the best tonight. I hope we will wake up against New Zealand next saturday.

Winston Smith · 2015-10-14 05:27:59

Ireland was good but they suffered greatly with players injured and banned.

I'm hoping New Zealand keeps a calm head this weekend and history doesn't repeat itself!

Coco · 2015-10-15 16:45:54

I've not been able to watch any French match so far... and I can't watch this one, either. I'm jaded. I'm hopping it'll be a boring, piece of shit match

Satinca · 2015-10-15 18:51:01

Moi je vais l'enregistrer, je vais être à un concert de Stephan Eicher samedi soir^^

I'm hoping it'll be exciting, but not too exciting! I really, REALLY want New Zealand to get a comfortable lead pretty early on and maintain it. I really, REALLY don't want another French upset!

However, I rewatched all of the four All Black's matches from the pool stage and although they weren't 100% on form, they played a lot better than I remember them playing when I first watched the games. I haven't seen a lot of France's games though - just the last one against Ireland.

As a Kiwi I'm quietly confident the All Blacks will win, but no New Zealander will disrespect the French in a World Cup knockout game until after the final whistle has blown and the score is in our favour. We all know our history, we've met four times in World Cup finals. France won a quarter final in 2007 and a semifinal in 1999. New Zealand won two grand finals in 1987 and 2011.

I think it's New Zealand's time to bury the ghosts of the past and win a World Cup quarter final against France.

May the best team win.

Go the ABs!

We understand what it's like to be humiliated at the World Cup - France has done it to us twice!

Argentina is a great team that most people have not paid a lot of attention to in this World Cup. They were in the same pool as New Zealand so everyone expected them to come second, as they did. As a result, no one really paid a lot of attention to them; they slipped under the radar. However, they pushed New Zealand hard in the first game and it took the All Blacks 60 minutes to take the lead from them. They are not a second string team by any means. They are true contenders for this Grand Final.

That being said, New Zealand all the way. We have to.

Winston Smith · 2015-10-18 20:56:09

Oh my goodness. The Australia vs Scotland game?!

Not a huge fan of rugby but watched every ABs game during the 2011 RWC and after watching the ABs smash France the other day I'm definitely going to be watching the remaining ABs games. Should be good! Good luck to the aussies aswell.
