Wales struggling with Uruguay. Wales leading by a point at half time. A Uruguay win would mean a Wales v England quarter final.

Wow! Japan well worth their lead. Great handling skills and tries.

Massive weak for Irish sport ahead

Can the BIG score more goals than Switzerland ?

Can the rugby team beat the voices in their head and dump New Zealand out of the competition ?

Whatever about voices in their head, they can't beat the ABs.

Going by some reports Ireland and New Zealand didn't want the Scotland game to go ahead.

So they wanted to play each other?  I can see why NZ would want to play Ireland, but not the other way round.

Stephen Jones is not credible.

South Africa are a big team and Ireland's brute (and energy sapping) game might not be as effective there. It could disrupt the all blacks. Bit of rain that makes handling hard and you never know. Thought the Scotland Japan second half was enthralling. The Scots left it too late to figure out how to beat them but put up some effort in the end when a hammering at one stage  was looking likely.

And Armagh, Tyrone, Derry and Donegal could never win an All Ireland and they did. Through pure drive and determination(with some fantastic players of course). They can win and knock the All Blacks out. They have the talent and i think we will win.

On another note the refs have had a massive bearing on the winners upto this stage. Although the Japanese have been magnificent and a breath of fresh air they have had the benefit of favourable ref decisions against Ireland, Samoa and again today particularly around rucks.
         Lets hope we come out on the right side of the decisions next saturday if we are to beat the AB's.

The Kiwis play most of their important rugby in shite wet conditions like we do in the Northen hemisphere unlike say the Aussies so it won't be any advantage to us unfortunately.

Heard we've got a solicitor going out for the Bundee Aki hearing. Have we missed a trick in not sending Fergal Logan?
