Feel sorry for the French (especially the goal kicker). We dodged a bullet there.

Was it the same player who put the ball out on the full leading to NZ’s first try? If so, she had a bit of a merde-er.

Scotland going to be sore in the morning, Fiji playing some great physical rugby

 

[ripper868]

All blacks being All Blacks. Wales get within range, NZ score 2 mins later, they may not be as dominant as they used to be, but they are still damn good.

Ireland's entry for worst jersey in recent memory is in with a shot at winning it

 

[ripper868]

South Africa v Ireland a cracking contest, been a seriously good game all round.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ireland doing their usual schtick of peaking a year before the World Cup, then.

Nah, think the Boks will maybe think it was one that got away. Irish withstood an awful lot of pressure in the first half and last quarter.

 

[ripper868]

Thing is, that was serious pressure, and they withstood it really well, looked like deserved current #1s tbh.

France by 30+tonight btw

 

[BoyBrumby]

Tommy Wright's got a bit of gas about him, eh?

Assuming rips meant 3+, btw.

 

[ripper868]

The + is right next to the 0 after all .

Willing contest this, frogs just seem to have that touch more class across the park

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wobblies giving it a heck of a lash, tbf.

French blowing out two gimme pens for to kicks to the corner and butcher the drive.

Leave with points every time.

 

[ripper868]

Pinaud should never score that try, but he did, cracking game.

Feel like France deserve it, but wallabies should have stolen it, like days of old

 

[ripper868]

Gorgeous try for the Pumas there, lovely set piece, hopefully more to come in the sun this half.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

USA looking to take the last World Cup spot then

 

[ripper868]

Portugal touching up HK, so it'll be them or USA you'd think, I'd favour the USA in any case.

 

[ripper868]

This has turned into who gives away the last penalty now, some pretty average discipline on both sides

 

[ripper868]

Vamos Pumas!

What a weekend of games

 

[ashley bach]

Los Pumas you beauties!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Think Los Pumas just about shaded it. England looked very flat throughout; the Smith/Farrell axis seems to have little to recommend it based on today's evidence.

Typical ill-discipline and Boffelli rembering his kicking boots did the rest.

I'll close with my now traditional whinge about Jonny Hill being a hack, because he ****ing is.

Yeasssss the pumas!
