Whats the story Mate, How are you ?

Yeah I'd say you are, in fairness it was lost against Wales, not yesterday, the Aussies were better in every department.

Japan would of quilified if they had got bonus points, by scoring over 3 trys, imo there has to a better way than bonus points, it doesn't seem a fair way, they beat two teams like

What's going on at Chelsea mate ?

Jeez, horrific start to the season.
They have not suddenly become a bad team, so am thinking there is something wrong in the background, something going on confused

The Boks looked a lot better, although Scotland have not been strong for a while.
They will be sverely tested against Wales or the Aussies, should be a cracking quarter final.

Yet they beat Japan, who clobbered Samoa, so maybe not that weak dunno

We're always well tested by the Aussies (our arch enemies laugh ) and yea, Wales are another story as well. Not even gonna mention the All Blacks but yes, Allgood, we're not ready to give up just yet

Maybe, although in the 6 nations they have been some way behind Wales, Eng, Ire and France in the last decade or so. They will and do have a lot of home support though.
Have yet to see a SA team give up on anything laugh

Its starting to get real interesting.

Yeah me too, thought Maureen was way out of order in his actions. Interesting statement from herself this week.
I do think it may be a factor as she is/was popular.

What's your prediction on today against Italy?

Hard to know.
Ireland have looked really good and professional with all but one of the squad getting game time. Have not been tested yet.
Italy have not looked good to me, abject against the French and only scraped past Canada.
They will be a tougher test for Ireland for sure, especially with Parisse back, he is a fantastic player, but am expecting Ireland to win by 20/25 points.

Hoping Henshaw gets thru the game as if we are to progress we will need him.

Agree...but I think Ireland will take it easily. I haven't watched Italy yet, tbh but the boys in green are looking organised and focussed. Should be a good game, anyway.

Man, I love the World Cup! cheering

Yeah me too, Rugby is just a fantastic sport.
Hoping for a Northern hemisphere win as I think the sport could do with it but can't see it to be honest.

Love Wicklow, nice part of the country, I'm a Dub in exile laugh

As an ex No 3 in my younger days (At squadron level only) and a lifelong Welsh Rugby supporter, although I have a lot of admiration for Ireland,

I think the way Japan beat Samoa and the crowds was a magnificent spectacle to watch.

Their all round on the field discipline and commitment to 15 man rugby was better than Samoa who are also to be admired but like other teams at that level sometimes - They got it all wrong.
Japan's set pieces were tight, feeds were quick and the Backs were tackling and passing more accurately. They also gave away far less penalities, hence the deserved 25-6 win.

I hope they do well in the rest of the WC and they deserve to do so

Would be great if Japan could qualify but the best we can hope, I think, is a resounding victor over the USA. nO SURPRISE FROM AND eddie ones team that they are organised and disciplined. Thought Samoa were the exact opposite and that was their downfall.

Wales have been fantastic so far, and with their injuries, am surprised to be honest. They will take some beating and Gatland will have them up for any opponent.

Sadly, I agree with you blues There's always the next one, though, if the politicians get their greedy, interfering noses out of the sport in SA.

Work on a Sunday...not nice comfort
