Think we should crush the Scots tonight, they aint much chop and the Irish should get over the Argies.
Aus v Ireland semi will be brutal, Irish are a quality side and more than capable of beating us

Well let's hope they can sneak past the Pumas by 1-12 and pick up a few more injuries along the way.

Nothing is certain in any World Cup but from what I saw last night we are all playing for Silver

What an escape by the Wallabies, 35-34 with a last second pen by Foley. Played like absolute crap and will need to be better against the Pumas who smashed the Irish. Geez they were impressive, was amazed at their speed of ball movement.

What a game. Serious nail biter. Bring on the Pumas.

As good as the game was we really did cough up 3 tries. Stand by my ANZAC final call.

Suprised the Pumas won easily, shows how strong the Rugby Championship is.

Pretty good all round game by the Wallabies, AAC with a hat trick, just a little too much polish for the Pumas. Was definitely better viewing than the Manchester derby

Looking forward to the final, NZ will be hard to beat but its doable. They only looked strong in the second half against SA.

If we were playing NZ in Auckland I'd give them the Cup now, in Neutral territory it makes interesting viewing.

All the shit our NZ mates give us goes on the line tonight. They could win the next 50 Bledisloe Cups but if they lose tonight they all mean nothing. If we lose we continue to get the same shit!! Nothing to lose boys and girls :)

I must say I had a chuckle last night when they literally awarded the Australian team Silver medals. :lol: I hope the other country got participation awards in this politely correct era.

The last try cost me about $50. If only we had of lost by less than 13 :(

Fox commentators were spot on last night. 10 minutes each side of half time is where you win and lose these crucial games and they called it 30 in during the first half.

Cheika is an absolute gun as coach and I loved the no excuses comments at the end. That sort of attitude will see us go far in years to come.

Maybe, I haven't seen Australia finish second in too many world cups but perhaps they always have.

I'm pretty sure we received them when we lost to England in 03.

Yeah I'd had a few by then and reckon I denounced Rugby after little Johnny kicked the field goal and switched over.

Yeah great, encourage more pitch invaders and creating unfair angst against security doing their job.
