[Relagsingh]

this world cup is really upside down... but exciting

[Kingcopa]

All Black out They got great player but always choke at big stage . Eng sucks...........

[Tunge]

I'm rooting for England man... game against Aus was really tense, so exciting... somemore after Man U 4-0 against wigan.

 

 

hopefully the rugby boys can do what the england football team failed to so, win the world cup again!

[Tarzan666]

Hate England 2..always depends on wilkinson kicks to score pts......their matches are damn boring..

france 20-18 nz

 

all blacks out! bloody cracking game!

 

they did not finish the game early on

...and England stunned the world by beating Aust. England was playing lousy since the start of the world cup...but I'm happy they won.

 

If you realise, everything changes when j.wilkinson steps in. against Springboks, he was not around as well. Its almost a one man show

the game has evolved. kicking is the rugby word now, not tries anymore

[Observer]

Basically All Blacks is playing a very tiring game. Phases after phases.

[Silver_blade]

True. He is inspirational and strike fear.

 

 

England played well within their limitation...boring yes...but at least they know their short-comings and learn to play to their strength and commit less mistakes.

[Relagsingh]

win ugly, but results matters.

[Relagsingh]

actually the french are good too. one of the faves to progress to quarter or semis. they had their slip ups too.
