Rugby World Cup 2015 | Reminiscing Thread

And a nice try by Australia. This is gonna be a good game.
 
Great try by Australia
 
I don't watch a lot of Rugby but Aussies seem so good once they get into dangerous positions while England seem to be absolutely shite in the final 22
 
I'm predicting 4 southern hemishpere teams in the semis. The six nations teams are going to be found out big time at this WC.
 
England nerves have got the better of them have go to pot in both attacking and defending 22s and the bit in between not been much better

That score would be like winning the World Cup for us. But in reality it's just against England.

Yeah, I got it! You and everyone else hate England!

If we lose this from here no-one will be surprised. If we come back and win it (which I think is no longer possible but I think we'll close the gap) you guys will surprisingly disappear because you have no dog in this fight!
 
What a game. Step up in pace and intensity from anything else we've seen in the tournament so far.

England have tried to do some good stuff but while they have Jospeh, Watson and May who can break a line, the Aussies have 6 players and 2 more on the bench who can all do so better.

That and Pocock who is by a country mile the best player in the world right now. Australia are looking favourites for the cup on this form.

:lol: you got it wrong mate. I don't hate England at all. I'm kinda indifferent in this game. Just want to see a good game. I usually root for Wales but it's just out of simpathy for going there multiple times per year because of professional reasons.

Its not necessarily hate..well not with me..but I feel that if England win this, they will be far too dangerous later on...While Wales are the walking wounded..

Brown immense in the tackle

Immense in 1 tackle from 4.

He's had a very uncharacteristically poor evening. Himself and Ben Youngs, who I would consider two of Englands best players, have let the occasion get to them a little I think.

England need to change this game. They're not going to win a gunslinging try-off with the aussies. They need to tighten things up and try to bully them up the pitch. Will be tough and they can't afford to isolate carriers against Pocock/Hooper but what they did in the first half isn't working. I'd bring Ford on and start using the pack and boot to pin the aussies back where their weapons can't do as much damage.
