Rugby world cup.

Ireland looking strong Scotland looking shite. England should be looking at a bonus point against Tonga roar.

Ireland looked a bit shocked just now, great performance from Japan. Reckon Ireland should get through be great if they didn't.

This is going to be a twenty five pager foreshore.
England breeze through to finals reckon it will be wallabies in quarters. France look shite we will smash them next week. Japan are unrecognisable from previous teams and with the home advantage may well go all the way to the final.

We've had a debate whether better to rest /protect the starters against France and avoid Aus /NZ route. Conclusion was better to have NZ in SF than under pressure of the final

We have to beat the likes of All Blacks, Saffers and Oz to win the trophy not sure whether it matters in a SF or final.
How the fook are Russia in the finals?

Saturday's game with France cancelled due to typhoon so we go through as top of group with us and France getting two points each from cancelled game. Personally I would have rather got a bonus point giving the French a good hiding and keep momentum up, we will be fresh though.

Lol Scotland got what they wanted. Great game and result.

What a result that was! Outstanding England are the team to beat, well done Eddy Jones and all our squad.

Fantastic game, bring on the taffs in the final! whoop whoop.

Wales worry me more than Saffers but we will beat anybody playing like that.

Great game, everyone at the top of their game.

Saffers probably best opponents on paper but Wales always seem to play mind games with us, particularly Alan "Whine" Jones. He managed to wind-up Kyle Sinckler a treat in the 6 nations.

I think we learned a lot from the Eales six nations debacle.

Shame for the Taffs, but i thought the Saffers were slightly the better side.

Might as well give us the trophy now.

I'm slightly worried that we will under estimate the Springbokkers and pay the price.

Can't see it really, all about who controls the game and we've been doing that brilliantly. Wales had enough chances to get back in the game and fluffed it. Well match the Saffers for power and weight and play most of the game in their half.

Springboks are a tricky team very capable of turning England over. We need to turn up for this game as we have a habbit in recent years to go to complete shit in some games and concentrate from the off and not let nerves take control.

Did not see that coming, who would have thought England would get stuffed like that?
Great shame they blew the final because they have been fantastic.

i did cause ive watched this springboks side for a while and they won the rugby championship also earlier this year playing the same way. England pretty much lost their cool and were gifting south africa pens which was killing them along with their defence.

Well done to the springboks i have no complaints here they won it hands down, England did well to get to the final but its another big game in which the mentality is lost . Oh well another 4 years of prep under eddie jones or another at least halfway through for us to go that little bit futher. Some strong campaigns in the 6 nations, summer tours and winter internationals will be important as ever.

What's so frustrating is that we are good enough to beat the Springboks. We allowed Saffers to make us play out of our half, they forced errors and they were well better in the scrum. Why the fook didn't we kick for territory like they did, we played the game they wanted to play and didn't try and change it even after half time. Tactical disaster.
