England Vs France

Top class match. Nice to see the French true colours coming out in the with the final penalties....

England did make hard work of it. Giving away stupid penalties. Wilkinsons poor kicking...
Though we still won, which is the important thing!

No white booted solidarity?

The shame of it.

Personaly I would like to see the Argies through to the final and maybe even to beat us, would shut all the Aussie carping about not including the minnow teams in the world cup, some of the best games in this world cup have been played by the minnow teams

Well i would of said SA will walk it, but the way things have been going thus far and the half-back combination of Pichot and Hernandez, it may not be straightforward.

I have to say that i hope SA win, as an Argentina/England final could be an entirely forwards orientated game, punctuated by Wilkinson/Hernandez kicking for territory. It could also be intresting to see how England perform in comparison to the group stage encounter.

Now France have been eliminated, all i can hope for is a high standard of rugby, that is good to watch.

Yup.
Same here.
It would be very hard for the Blacks and the Aussies to deny Arg entry to the tri nations... if they have the world cup.

Pacific Islanders should have a team in there too. 5 teams, in the Tri Nations, and let Portugal into the 6 nations...

It wasnt that long ago that we (Ireland) almost got the heave ho from the 5 nations for being rubbish. Although... things have come full circle now it seems. Crap again.

There already calls for Argentina to be added to the current Tri-Nations tournanment SEE HERE. However, most of the current squad play their club rugby in Europe, so this would be a gigantic logistical nightmare.

Talk about bad timing.

should've gone online for a streaming media....I had to do that for the footie - I went to the office to watch the footie on the projector (& help myself to the fridge full of booze) but some inconsiderate builder had put up a crane in the line of site of our sky dish.
