  • Amateur boxing is about avoiding being hit and landing scoring hits yourself rather that knocking the shit out of each other. More about the 'technical' aspect of the sport, as I understand it. Bit li

    Needless to say, you had the last laugh.

  • If you don't like it, don't watch it and you aren't compelled to comment on it. Simple enough.   If it's so meaningless to you why waste typing energy?   I will watch much of it and wouldn't cross

All these injuries are spoiling a good World Cup.

 

 

Don't you think it was spoiled over 2 weeks ago? Leeds have pulled down their fanzone and tbh its already third or fourth item on the sports report.

what, this thing is still going on?

Wont be going out of my way to watch any games now, apart from the final maybe. Just as long as a 6 nations team doesn't win i couldnt care less. Yes, even Australia. Soz Bolty!

Some great matches in prospect this weekend, proper top level international sport.

Decidedly second best to even watching Tranmere fail in the Vanarama!

Taking the Wanderers out of it then the greatest match in any sport I have ever seen is France-New Zealand in the 2007 World Cup. I don't think anything this weekend will live up to it but Ireland-Argies and Wales-SAfers will be real battles.

The perfect result for me would be those lovely Kiwi's winning it. Like you, no 6 Nations team please. Only one Northern Hemisphere team has won it. I know. I was there. Long may we hold that record - hopefully by adding to it somewhere along the line.

 

All Blacks winning it pisses off Orstralians as much as us winning it - especially if the Wallies are the losing finalists.

 

This is my fervent hope - crestfallen Aussies remains a major delight. Aotearoa.

The Aussies were impressive in beating us and their defending when down to 13 against Wales was astounding. I can see them winning it, sorry Bolty.

I don't even want to think about it mate. Thank fuck we won The Ashes, that's all I can say!

I'm wanting South Africa or Ireland to win it now  -  as long as it's not NZ or Australia

It's started. Just received this. I will have my revenge when the cocky twats get knocked out.

Please God no.

Ireland!!!!???

 

Please God no.

25% Ulster mate, you could support that bit.

Not an unfair point but then just ask yourself, if the roles were reversed, how many Ireland supporters would want England to win it?

 

I rest my case m'lud.

Having beaten England and Wales already, Australia could beat Scotland and then Ireland to reach the final.

 

For Wales to win they probably now have to beat South Africa, New Zealand and Australia in successive weekends.

Some ex player pundits were tipping the Argies to turn over the Orish on the radio yesterday, based on the latter losing three of their key players against the French last week. Reckon they can't afford to lose that quality against a pretty big argie side.

I thought the world cup was over? Is it still going on?

Yes, and it's taking up X-Factor's saturday night slot, FEWMIN

Indeed they could. But the most important Argie there seems to be the one coaching the Aussies scrummaging technique.

Why? Won't you be out and about in your pink tutu?

The smaller nations always lose their better talents.

 

The best player the Argies ever had was that fly half who played for Italy for years.

dont usually like those "funky" camera angles but that overhead camera for the scrums really is telling

 

knew we were in trouble against Australia

 

oh for an Andrew Sheridan again

 

echo Whites Man, backing Australia

What is wrong with you people!!!??? Trust me, Aussies support absolutely everyone against England at every fucking thing so why the fuck any Englishman wants them to win anything is completely beyond me.

 

It may be that in your case, Jay Jay, you are in a similar position to myself and sick to fucking death about hearing about your adopted homes team. In that case, I do understand but fervently hope that you are disappointed.

backing them to win, not supporting
