Sports & Fitness Rugby World Cup

Turn it up Rumple. And save your money, no point in throwing it away.

 

You stayed up all night to come up with that.
The Rugby wasn't even on last night.
You need to find yourself a hobby.

 

Picked it like a dirty nose, Argentina Hopefully, the run ends on the weekend.

 

Current Head to Heads on Sportsbet:

NZ 1.27 v SA 3.75
AUS 1.38 v ARG 3.05

For a "value" bet (all parochialism aside), SA @ 3.75 is better value than ARG @ 3.05 IMO

Or, you could go some exotics, Halftime-Fulltime Double:

NZ/NZ @ 1.67
SA/NZ @ 6.00
NZ/SA @ 11.00
SA/SA @ 6.00

 

If Pocock is not playing the Argie's could well beat the Wallabies. Without him the forward pack is missing a big cog in the motor. Craig Joubert would have to be the ref for South Africa to have any chance against the AB's.

 

Txt book gameplay there by the ABs. Bye Bye boks.

Bring on Argentina

 

Was hoping to stay up late to see the ABs get bundled out. Oh well, hopefully the wallabies can do it next week

 

Get used to the disappointment.

 

I'm actually really looking forward to the Wallabies Pumas game. I think both teams have been playing some very exciting rugby. It'll be good to see how Argentina handle the pressure of a semi final. I think if their forwards perform well and get clean ball to their backs they could really do some damage. Argentina are definitely finals contenders and the Wallabies could be in danger of underestimating them, although you'd expect them to have that out of their system with their recent run in with Scotland.

 

Yes I think Aussie will have just a little bit more in the big game experience factor that will get them thru. I too think it will be a good game Argentina have improved out of sight since they have been in the Rugby Championship..fast leaners! They've got some good talent in their backline and that winger of theirs sure has some pace. Will be watching with interest, should be a good game.

 

Looking forward to a fantastic final between 2 teams that like to play running rugby and a ref that seems to understand our style..
Only fitting that 1 and 2 should meet in the final, can't wait.

 

It's normally a good sign that both teams don't brag about how successful they are..

 

Good spectacle to watch, 4 tries to nil pretty is comprehensive, but it shows you how discipline and penalties can keep teams in a game. To think they only really closed out the game in the final stages and it was 4 tries to nil!

South Africa were horrible against NZ, sure they were dogged, gritty and determined, but completely outperformed in the skills stakes.

Everything has to go right in the final for the Aussies.

 

One of the better games of the tournament. 2 in a row.
Well done ABS, not really a suprise.

 

Never in doubt. Greatest team of all time, pure class! I see @Rumplestiltskin has been very quiet. At least they got the bronze, what did Meyer say? Like kissing your sister. Good final though, tough no compromise rugby with flashes of brilliance from Sir Richie and SBW, it's the little things that make the difference. One happy Kiwi

 

Beaten but not disgraced by probably one of the greatest rugby teams of all .

I thought Nonu's try summarised the difference between the teams .

I think any sports fan would accept it would have been an injustice if Dan Carter had retired without wining a World Cup . With a few retirements we might have a chance now .
Any way , it about the only think the kiwi's are good at ....

Its all good - you will always be world champions at AFL
