Want to be Frech for these last 10 minutes.

England just don't have an answer.....

 

[Brice Ansel]

Well.... Glad the young cockerel finally transform into a rooster.
Cheers England!

I'll never learn ....

no matter how abysmal their recent form is
no matter if there's a rift between the coach & the players
no matter if they look unconvincing against Japan & Canada
no matter if they loose to New Zealand
no matter if they loose to Tonga!
no matter if they've been more bumbling than Inspector Clouseau (France's greatest detective)
no matter if the Rooster is lookin' like a plucked chook next to the Bar BQ

never ...........NEVER .........write off the French

 

[Mark Toia]

GO THE ALL BLACKS!!!!!!!!!

Latest results...

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

We've beaten you before, and we will do it again!!

Only once, ever...
13 years ago...
it was the under-21 teams...
by a whooping 1 point margin, 12-11...
thanks to a last minute conversion...

BUT IT IS ON TOIA!! BRING IT! YOU ARE TOAST BUDDY!

:nonod:


Semi final #2 winner takes it all.

Pumas 21 vs All Blacks 21

A 21 all draw , Beunos Aires - Nov 2nd 1985

Hugo Porta maybe the greatest first five of all time kicked 4 penalties and 3 drop goals.

He was bombing away from half way! ... He was a freak ... we'd never seen anything like it ... couldn't handle it, and were happy to get out of it with a draw.

This was back in the day when I was a young fella,...... if you see it , you don't forget things like that

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

I think we had a few other draws, but I know we never beat the big boys... YET! It will be nice.

 

[Brent .T]

Australia 11 South Africa 9

Titanic game , not for the faint hearted , both teams played themselves into the ground, good on ya Aussie

 

[Mike Seymour]

Mark,
-but who will you go for AFTER the Argentina game now?
(after today's heroic effort)

 

[Brent .T]

kick off , here we go

good luck to you Roberto

 

[Brice Ansel]

I'm not surprise by the Puma's performance, a really strong and organise first line.
You can tell Dan Carter is missing to the All Blacks.

 

[Brent .T]

1/2 time NZ 12 Argentina 7

part of me would love to see the Pumas win

 

[Brice Ansel]

On that first half Argentinians just proved they deserve to enter in the tri nation next year.

 

[Paolo Tinari]

I would be a scared black, a little mistake and the puma bites hard.

That's why i'm not a black.
Amazin match.

 

[John Bannister]

Phew! That's all I can say, Pumas played out of their skins, thank god we have a strong bench. Back to the good old Aussie/Kiwi battle next week

 

[Brice Ansel]

I bet on Australia.

 

[Brent .T]

I thought the final score is flattering for the AB's , I also thought Argentina got some hard calls from the ref , hate it when that happens.

Yep, have to agree Bent, not a convincing win by any stretch of the imagination. ABs will really need to get their shit together if they wish to make the final.

I would have loved there to be a AUS / ALL BLACK final, but the silly draw screwed that up.

But looks like AUS / ALL BLACK semi...

Obviously I'll bank on a ALL BLACK win... but if Wallabies make it to the final over the dead bodies of the all blacks... then I'll Support the Wallabies for sure.
