Wilber Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Posted October 18, 2015 Heart breaker for Scotland. I thought they were going to pull it off. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
SpankyMcFarland Posted October 21, 2015 Report Posted October 21, 2015 Ireland were pulverized by the Argentinians. Only Luke Fitzgerald distinguished himself. They went wide quickly and broke through repeatedly on the wings. The SH forwards are leaner and faster this time and Argentina must be one of the most improved sides. I saw that they had beaten the predicted spread by the biggest aggregate point margin in the tournament. NZ look unstoppable but Oz will have to play well to make it to the final.

SpankyMcFarland Posted October 21, 2015 Report Posted October 21, 2015 Heart breaker for Scotland. I thought they were going to pull it off. Scotland should be through. After playing ridiculously well, they are wrongly penalized and lose the game. Sickening. Quote ‘How small we make our worlds. Gather them in, tighten them up into little castles of fear.’
Wilber Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Posted October 21, 2015 Scotland should be through. After playing ridiculously well, they are wrongly penalized and lose the game. Sickening. I agree, the refs have been pretty good at not imposing themselves on the outcome of games. This was a blatant exception. With almost no time left, the ref determined the outcome, not the players. Hopefully it will be that refs last game in this World Cup. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC

SpankyMcFarland Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) The game has speeded up and there is a premium on quick passes and stealing ball at the rucks, two skills that Oz and NZ excel at. For 50 minutes, the Puma scrum drove Oz backwards in disarray and all they got was a few penalties out of it when at least one YC should have been shown. Argentina will be In a rugby WC final soon.

Wilber Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 Both semis were really good. The Pumas had their chances but every time they got close it seemed like they turned the ball over. They are impressive. Should be a great final. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
Wilber Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Posted October 31, 2015 Awesome All Blacks. The best in the world today, no question. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
-TSS- Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 New Zealand is to rugby like Canada is to hockey; they reign supreme. Quote
-TSS- Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 It's a very cultural thing which sport catces on in which country but I have always said that we Finns would be excellent at rugby if we just found the sport. It would be an ideal summer-sport as opposed to ice hockey especially as we suck at soccer. Quote
