Rugby World Cup 2019

Yeah Rogers and Lote were good and always thought Dell Sailor was half and half at Union.

Sailor had everything required to be a world #1, except a brain.

 

[A Pennysworth]

You know whats weird? Listening to commentary on a Wallaby game and no Aussie commentators.

So the most important bit then. Lote Tuqiri was imo the best transplant from that era of Australian Rugby

Cmon Aus.

Convicts going to win this. England can have no complaints.

I really should not be allowed to watch live international sport.

I'm not sure at which point in the game so far that it looked like an Aussie win.
Of course it still could be but England have looked pretty good so far.

Sinckler giving away scrum penalties was a bad portent, but scoring the try was what tipped it back in England’a favour.

I am a horrible, terrible supporter. Relentless negativity.

Ah got you, they evened out pretty soon after that, scrum penalty wise.
It's all over now with the interception try by Watson, NZ (or Ireland not that they have much chance) here we come in the semis.

4 decades of supporting West Ham explains that, by the way.

 

[MaureenCretis]

Sinckler won that QF. Unbelievable scenes, Jeff.

Australia were very poor today.

Even by their own low standards over recent years. I always remember them, from my younger days, being the best in the world and almost unplayable on their day. This team is a shadow of that era and somewhat of an embarrassment.

More’s the pity - they’re the best commentators in the business.

Not sure that’s fair - their tactics were what lost that. The personnel is better than the score suggested.

Could be worse. Could be an All Black supporter. Everything's rosey when we are winning. We lose one match and the whole country is on suicide watch. Like its a national emergency.

Depends who you get. Phil Kearns is a whiney bitch who thinks every ref has it in for the Wallabies.

Well yes, their tactics and the fact that they just didn’t seem up for it. There was nothing there, no passion just a whimper.

I think Australia will be much stronger when Cheika is gone and I really hope that happens. I love the rivalry with Australia (in all sports).

Good rivalries are what sport is all about and the rivalry between England and Australia is always in the best spirits and often tongue in cheek. It’s a shame to see them in this kind of rut

 

[therealdope]

NZ is a machine. Wow.

I missed the Aus - ENG game --- 3am is too early for TRD.

 

[Rum]

Going into the tournament Ireland and the All Blacks were supposedly the best teams on the planet

I guess they've sorted out who was #1 and who was #2 now
