Anyone want to chat about it, do it here.
 
Half time in the first game, and the Frenchies are looking a bit wobbly.

Ha!! What an upset! Potential ABs v France quarter now. Or potentially the frogs could be gone before the quarters if they lose to the Irish!!

Three for me, and two for them.

Exciting match tonight lads - the AB's v  Portugal B - should be highly competitive and no doubt a thriller.

Lets all get on our sofa's at home with a mug of tea and get some atmosphere going - by blaming the ref and moaning all game.

The only noise that occurs at rugby games is people telling mildly enthusiastic people to shut up. So, Hammerhead is quite right, that's absurd.

The Harbour fans who came down for the match sure made their present felt from where I was standing. Manawatu's fans did even better. I'm starting to think it's the away fans I'll have to rely on for atmosphere. Next year I'll go on the road to support the Lions and hopefully that will pay off haha

I started watching the game last night, and fell asleep about 20 minutes in.
 
Tried to watch the replay this morning, but ended up watching the Backstreet Boys on the Frank Skinner show on UK Gold instead.

Where's the plate? I hated when that Ivory Coast guy got a busted neck last tournament. Give the small teams something to play for, they worked real hard just to get to the tournament. A plate would give them games against teams who are at, or slightly above, their level and would encourage the growth of rugby in smaller or less well-off nations.

Failing that - where is the televised coverage of the play-off stuff? We have Oceania qualifiers to watch in the football, but for rugby there is nothing. They have the play-offs but who gets to see them? No one.

Maybe this should be in the jokes thread but...

This is from the London Herald not the NZ Herald!


ALL BLACKS Captain & No. 7 Richie McCaw is so tuff that.

When Richie McCaw does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up; he's pushing the Earth down.

When Richie McCaw goes swimming he doesn't get wet, the water gets Richie McCawed.

When the Bogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Richie McCaw.

Richie McCaw counted to infinity - twice.

Richie McCaw invented every colour. Except pink. Tom Cruise invented pink.

Richie McCaw's hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.

Richie McCaw gave Mona Lisa that smile.

Richie McCaw can slam a revolving door.

Some kids p*ss their name in the snow.  Richie McCaw can p*ss his name into concrete.  

Richie McCaw's calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd; No-one fools Richie McCaw.

Richie McCaw can speak Braille.

Richie McCaw's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. Ever.

Superman owns a pair of Richie McCaw pyjamas.

Richie McCaw owns the greatest Poker Face of all-time. It helped him win the 1993 World Series of Poker despite him holding just a
Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

Richie McCaw sleeps with a night light. Not because Richie McCaw is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Richie McCaw.

Once a cobra bit Richie McCaw's leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.

Richie McCaw divides by zero.

When Richie McCaw exercises, the machine gets stronger.

Richie McCaw doesn't use pickup lines, he simply says, "Now".

Richie McCaw sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled rugby ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalised,
Richie spear-tackled the devil and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it
coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.  

Richie McCaw can kill two stones with one bird..

Richie McCaw once devoured a whole wheel-barrow full of clay to prove to a friend that the expression "Sh**ing bricks" wasn't just a figure of speech.

The only time Richie McCaw was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistake

Or even better....lose, so that heaps of disillusioned fans will see past their obsession with rugby and consider watching other sports...like, say, football? :P

If NZ lost, it could be a chance for others sports to catch up, especially with the recent success in league and (more importantly) football. Then in 2011, instead of a 20-year gap it'll be 24 years, and to close the gap on home turf instead of in France, the context would be way better.


(Disclaimer - I'm an Argentina fan and I want them to win! )

Have to say I did enjoy the Tonga v SA game. But why did the ref blow the final whistle at 10 seconds to go with Tonga having an attacking line-out? I thought they were robbed there.

Why doesn't Rugby have a transparent system of saying how much time is to be added on - like football. They are supposed to stop the clock on stoppages but it seems a bit dodgy to me...
