Rugby World Cup 2007

[SNGX1275]

I've avoided opening this thread for the past 2 weeks because I've been watching the Womens World Cup after work that I've recorded(games come on between 3:45 and 6 something am here and I have work). Just incase one of you guys came in here to talk about the more important World Cup

US won its group and their quarterfinal game vs England.
Germany beat North Korea in the other quarterfinal game.
Brazil and Sweden play tomorrow and Norway and someone else.

US Women should win the whole thing if they play like they did 2nd half of the England game. Germany is the defending champs, defending champs have never made it to the final game of the next WC.

There's only a few hours to go until Aus Vs Fiji.
I'm staying up for it. Should be a cracker ........

Although Aus should power to victory, I will be hoping Fiji can test them

For the Welsh supporters out there: If Fiji beat Wales, Fiji goes through!

 

[hynesy]

im staying up too mike, SNGX1275, that the womens rugby world cup?

 

[SNGX1275]

Womens Soccer.

 

[hynesy]

Becareful talking about soccer in a rugby thread :blackeye: haha

 

[Po`Girl]

If America weren`t winning in the women`s soccer,
it would never get a mention anywhere in America.

 

[mikescorpio81]

What a game!!!
Wales Vs Fiji lived up to the hype ... best game of the tournament so far!

Poor ol' Wales ...

 

[hynesy]

Did wales lose? ouch, so far the northern hemisphere teams have been unable to compete with the southern hemisphere teams unfortuneatly, I can't wait for Aus vs. Eng.

 

[AlbertLionheart]

It just gets better - Argentina slaughtered Ireland in a game just as good if not better than Fiji/Wales.
The last 8 is going to be really interesting and I would not be surprised if there were a few more shocks in store.

 

[hynesy]

Yeah, has been surprising especially Ireland, they have been playing pretty awefully during this World Cup.

 

[mikescorpio81]

Nevermind ... you lost to the team that will eventually win it, so it's not all bad =]

 

[AlbertLionheart]

So for the final you might expect All Blacks v Fiji?

 

[AlbertLionheart]

So for the final you might expect All Blacks v Fiji?

 

[Jase123]

I think All blacks will win

Regards Jase

 

[AlbertLionheart]

You may be right - care to run a virtual book on this?

 

[BlameCanada]

If Australia have lost,does that mean this thread is closed ? :haha:

Where is hynesy,anyway ?

 

[mikescorpio81]

I'm cut!!

Aussies n All Blacks ... both out!
It hurst cos England beat us ... again ...

Oh, before I meant that u lost to the Aussies (Wales that is) and that we'd eventually go on to win it.

It's anyone's game now ...

 

[Finchy]

I personally just hate rugby

 

[AlbertLionheart]

Finchy, how can you say that? It is just the most beautiful game!
Anyway, with NZ, Oz and SA out we have an interesting last few games to come and I think most Brits secretly hope that Argentina will do well - the Irish, Scots and Welsh all want them to beat England should they meet.

 

[Finchy]

I will admit, it is a proper sport, but im not a fan. I just find i tedious, i don't know why.

It's not like American Football, which is the same but with armour
Or hockey, which is just pure violence

By the way, i'm aware i know virtually nothing about those sports, and may be wrong, it's just my opinion.

 

[Jase123]

Come on England!!!

There in with a good shot now of winning, but i don't think they will. :haha:

Regards Jase

 

[Po`Girl]

It seems to me,all England`s points come from the boot of one person.

Isn`t Rugby about running and passing and putting the ball over the line ?

 

[Jase123]

Yes, but if your scoring the points it does not matter.

Were in the semi-finals, so thats a good achievement.

Regards Jase

 

[murzyn1975]

The way South Africa has been playing I wouldn't be surprised if they lose against Argentina. That being said if they pull their act together I am quite confident that they could go all the way.

 

[mikescorpio81]

It's France's for the taking now ...
My money would be on them if I was a betting man
