Rugby world cup

Apologies if it was said here already but England did well to get 'Nil'

They were pants.

SA were having a laugh at the end.

England have really fallen apart since the last world cup. A lot of it is down to the clubs over there who have the players destroyed playing 40 matches a year. O'Driscoll and O'Connell would play roughly half that number. They had lost Wilkinson, Barkely, Vickery before the game as well as their best outside back strettle. The ylost Robinson after an hour and now look like they might lose against Samoa.

Watching this world cup really makes you wonder about the standard of the six nations. France beat at home by argentina, Italy obliterated by the all-blacks and now the Boks stuff england while playing in second gear. We will see how the welsh get on with the aussies but it is starting to look like a southern hemisphere shoot out.

England were terrible, Lacking any creativity or any scoring threats. Feel sorry for Robinson. Great athelete and it was terrible if his international career ends on this note but with the England team the way it is, its was always going to end in failure. The WC is going South of the Hemisphere. The best Northern Hemi team are France and they were beat by a South Hemi team that arent in the top 3 of all Southern Hemisphere teams. Im not even sure if Irelands games are worth watching.

martin johnson just annoyed me on itv last night he wouldn't even say that England were beaten by the better team instead he was going on about mistakes that they made. England weren't at the races last night

You get a more balanced view on Setanta, not just with the Rugby, but with all sports.

That freaken band in the backround is driving me insane...... 

Aye me too.

Why did it take the tv stations 15 minutes to get a clock and scoreboard up on the screen, and they said there was no scoreboard or clock in the stadium?

[ziggysego]

Why do tits at these games insists on holding the tricolour the wrong way round?
