Rugby union?

Well that actually went as predicted. We sat watching the faces of the Ireland players Vs the NZ players at the national anthems and said the Irish looked nervous and NZ looked steely. Great game for a neutral. Tomorrow's games could go either way too, expecting England Vs SA semi though.
 
England won’t win it, they simply aren’t good enough to beat France/SA and New Zealand back to back.

I’m thinking it’s going to be a France v AB final. I’d be routing for the French to get revenge after the phrase in NZ final.
 
Really disappointed with Wales. It's one thing to get beaten by the better side but they were in control of it half way through the first half. Too many attacking lineout errors and giving silly penalties away got Argentina back into the game and more importantly gave them belief.
I think the Argentina player was a bit lucky not receive a card considering other decisions this WC, but don't get me wrong that's not the reason Wales lost. Argentina were simply the better side for the last 50 minutes of the game.

Wales aren't the team to they were, will need time for the younger players to come through. I'd be more disappointed if I was Irish as they are pretty much at their peak now. I've no idea who how England keep scraping wins :cry:

I though that, too much hard work in training?

Anyone have an idea why Sexton was so angry at the end? Shouting at a NZ player. Maybe that, what looked like, high tackle?

SA for me - too big up front

He was probably just really frustrated and disappointed with the result.

I do feel for them but watching new Zealand, they just had many more flashes of brilliance.

Looking forward to both games tonight!

This is one of the things I like about New Zealand, even when under the cosh they do find the odd piece of brilliance. The Beauden Barrett chip and chase, the break by Mo'unga. Against France the Ioane break. Very high skill levels throughout the team. They are not the 2011 All Blacks in their pomp but still great to watch.
 
Johnny Sexton picked the wrong sport - should have been a professional footballer. Constant moaning at the ref and trying to get the opposing player sent off - would have fitted right in. (and Biggar)

Still very good game - should probably have been the final but when has the RWC ever had a balanced draw.
