Pickle Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 "The All Blacks have been dealt further backline injury problems with Richard Kahui and Israel Dagg the latest to be forced out from Sunday's Rugby World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina in Auckland".Oh dear. Although the replacements aren't too shoddy (Williams, Muliaina), but once again it looks a bit like my team are crumpling at the pressure stage :( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19324-rugby-world-cup/page/5/#findComment-480537 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Medic Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Just in case you wonder what happens if there's a draw. There is then 2x10min. halves. If they are still level there is then another 10 minutes of sudden death i.e first one to score wins. And if they are still level, there is a place kicking competition. That would be fun if any of them got that far. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19324-rugby-world-cup/page/5/#findComment-480761 Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxxi Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I think Steve Rider summed it up by saying 'we all expected England to have another gear' but in truth the only convincing win was against a Romanian B team.

Otta Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Brave attempt in the second half, but so many sloppy schoolboy errors in the first, that we basically gifted them a huge lead in a "tight" match.You'd think an international rugby forward would know how to scrummage!

Mick Mac Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Soooo disappointed that Ireland did not make it through today. Wales' defence was undoubtedly fantastic but Ireland had a number of players who had a poor game, most importantly O Gara who missed a few key touch kicks. Mike Philipps try I think was the one that broke the hearts of the Irish team. Was really one where Ireland went to sleep and the Irish forwards, on seeing the backs let him through so easily, must have been a killer especially after they had just got back to 10-10. Wales third try also resulted from poor Irish defending - so in the end it was the defences that decided it.

Alan Medic Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yeah, sorry for O'Gara. May be the last we will see of him in a green jersey. The defending was incredibly poor on Phillips try. Tommy Bowe who you would expect to be there had moved out of position expecting the ball to go wide. I do hope Wales go all the way though. Their pre season conditioning sessions in Poland sounded like hell. It may be paying dividends now as extra fitness in such a long tournament could make all the difference.

Mick Mac Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 We are agreed then declan. That's a first. :))I'll take a week to get interested again. But this world cup has offered so much already and has more to offer too. The semi finals are mouthwatering.

Alan Medic Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Some older rugby fans might be interested in a programme tonight on the Lions 1971 visit to NZ. It's on BBC1 Wales @ 10.35pm. However it is on other BBC channels next week too.Good luck Wales tomorrow though whoever wins I'd like to see them win it outright. One for the NH.
