RWC QF: Wales v Argentina

[nostrildamus]

I will agree with Dodge that for some years those down under (they don't say that in S. Africa do they?) SH rugby competitions were superior to the 5N/6N in quality/attractiveness. Not such a popular view recently.

Fuck, Jonker

What could possibly go wrong, apart from life itself?!

[MiketheSnow]

Expect a very stop start match

Fuck, Jonker

And with Dickson as AR too. Expect the officiating to be the main after match talking point.

SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: Here comes THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE in the quarters

SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: For the first time in World Cup history, northern hemisphere teams topped all the pools, setting up four intriguing quarter-finals.

I’m glad Clive has lost none of his ability to be an arrogant cock even all these years later.

Time has only intensified that ability I'm afraid. 🙄

I wonder what he'll say if NZ, Argentina and SA all progress....

I can’t stand all that “hemisphere” shit. I don’t see any relevance to it and I hate how Poms will get on bandwagons about it.

Good god, I agree with @MN5

I assume you object to it because its coming from the North for a change, its long been the boast of NZ, SA and Aus (less so in the last 20 years) that the NH is inferior and the WC proves it. To be fair, it has. The shoe being on the other foot in terms of rankings really seems to rankle.

Hmm. Fair point if I consider my bias.

But what it really means is you guys have more money.

European bias of the governing body.

I’m surprised too. Often you’re cantankerous and disagreeable.

I feel like that team looks a lot weaker without Matera.

[Bones]

Man, feel for Matera, poor fella. Looks a bloody good team with a strong bench though. Should be a cracker.

[Dodge]

Feels like Wales go in as favourites but Argentina showed a bit in the Japan game. I’m torn between wanting 4 NH teams in the semis and wanting Wales to be beaten out of sight. It’s not really a difficult choice when I think about it
