Re: Is this the worst outcome for the World Cup?
I have very little knowledge of NH teams and never again will I listen to their journos and pundits, what a let down for all the hype. I still think France was the better team.

Re: QF 4 - France vs South Africa - Sunday 15 October 23
France really shat the bed in the final quarter. Too many mistakes, not enough bodies at the breakdown, floating passes, panicked attack.
No disrespect to SA, but I really feel like France lost that rather than SA won it, if you know what I mean.

I just hope at the end of the day its France or Ireland (or Fiji) lifting the thing. Ireland probably deserve it the most, while France look like the most talented team, and they are at home.

Re: Most disappointing team at the RWC
To be disappointed you have to have expected the teams to of achieved your expectations. Did anyone expect Australia to do any better considering their form leading into the WC, and the pools? Same with Italy and Scotland. We should have at the very least beaten Fiji. A 40 point loss to Wales was a...

I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see it being close. Ireland are too good.

Re: RWC Australia v Portugal
I'll watch it tomorrow morning on replay (public holiday ). I don't care so much about the score (beyond us getting 4 tries). I just hope we play well. No missed tackles/poor defensive reads, attack looks fluid, etc etc.
Might be too much to ask though.
