@Derm-McCrum that would take work, samoa are ordinary.
So were Georgia in 2007.
Ouch!

Parisse:
If New Zealand needed four or five points against us it would not have been cancelled
If NZ needed five points in the last round of the round-robin they wouldn't be the All Blacks.
There simply is no possible way that NZ would ever lose two qualifying matches in the same tournament. We've never even lost one. If we lost matches as often as Italy, complaints about how we are bullying referees, tournament organisers etc simply would not happen. The All Whites, for example, are unlikely to be facing the same accusations.
-
@Chester-Draws Certainly take some freak event like 2 typhoon cancellations and an initial loss to SA (in this case) with another team getting to play and win their matches.
So yeah, Parisse is full of shit. It also would have been cancelled regardless of who was playing as those are the tournament rules.
-
"Sure, everyone might think that Italy versus New Zealand being cancelled counts for nothing because we'd have lost anyway, but we deserved to be respected as a team," Parisse added.
-
@taniwharugby My apologies Sergio I have the utmost respect for you as the player who has lost more tests than anyone, ever (but you are still wrong about the tournament rules).
-
Disgraceful. This is providing Samoa with such an advantage
-
Go the Manu!

well, this is all very seemly
Derm what are your hopes for this game? What are you looking for? (except 5 points obviously). More of the exact same, except a bit better?
Because you blokes haven't looked great thus far, and you are off to a quarter against us probably (unless Scotland suddenly turn up) in about a week.
I’m hoping they don’t play themselves into form and suddenly click in the quarters against us .
Mostly because I don’t want the abs to be knocked out on the quarters and also because I’ve enjoyed being a prick about them getting bukkaked by the Japanese and there’s probably a couple of Irish lurkers dying to get payback.Even if they did regain their form and got mojo back etc etc, the Ab's will still beat them.
I only fear England and SA this world cup and to a much less degree, Australia
I'm curious as to why you fear the Boks? We dealt with them pretty well in the pool match and I'm not sure they've got any more powder than what we have seen over the past couple of years.
(That being said, I appreciate they may still beat us if we both got that far.)

I'm not ashamed to admit I hope a couple of Irishmen get destroyed by massive Samoan hits

This is going to be a bloodbath

Fuck off TMO there was nothing there. You suck

Of course, the greatest tragedy would be for a one Jonathan Sexton to be hit extremely hard by a rampaging Samoan with bloodlust.

How the fuck is that a yellow card you flog?
-
Everything is a yellow card
-
Fuck these rules suck.

The TMOs have obviously been given a directive.
No! Really?
