EddardStark Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Argentina v Tonga. Those Tonga players are massive. Maradona is at the game. Ireland v Italy later and will be keen to keep it going. Finishing second in their group means an almost certain exit in the quarters against NZ. Tonga 5-0 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Currently 20-13 to Argentina in final minute of first half. The kicking of the Pacific sides really lets them down. They have missed relatively simple conversions for both their tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Quite enjoyed the game actually. Argentina look impressive with the ball. Hoping that Italy will trip up Ireland, but I won't be betting any money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be desperate to beat France to avoid the All Blacks in the Qtrs. Some massive head to heads coming up between Wales/Aus and Ireland/France. Think I would rather we faced Wales so I hope they top the Group. SA should beat Argentina although they did lost to the Pumas recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be an interesting game. Both will be desperate to win to avoid SA and play (hopefully) us. You're right though, I'd much rather play Wales in the q/f.

Both will be desperate to win to avoid SA and play (hopefully) us. You're right though, I'd much rather play Wales in the q/f. When I originally checked the draw, for some reason I got it all mixed up and thought that Scotland had to win the Pool to avoid the All Blacks in the semi final (aye I know ) but it looks like I got it wrong. Vern Cotter might have just played a real blinder by deliberately losing to RSA. IF ( I'm not getting complacent here and I know it's still a big IF) we manage to beat Samoa we get Wales or Australia in the QF ( I would prefer Wales). Then, if we could sneak through that one we get Ireland, France or Argentina in the semi final. Saving the All Blacks or RSA again for the final. Game's a good un Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah your right. Got that wrong. Still would fancy playing the Welsh rather than Aus who probably look the best team so far. Aye, defo. I think we could give Wales a decent game especially with all their injuries. Wales would obviously still be favorites but we could cause an upset. I think the Aussies will hump us if we play them. Lets not get ahead of ourselves though. We need to beat Samoa first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I think we'd beat Wales but, yeah, could well get humped off the Aussies, particularly if we treat the first half as a warm up again. However, I've seen us beat them before - we can do it again. I also think NZ haven't looked great. Argentina have impressed me, particularly Imhoff.

stitch Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I have watched almost every game and loved it. it has been a great World Cup until last weekend. I struggled to watch this weekend and when I watched the Aussies all I could think about was it should have been us. I think the Football then the Rugby took its toll on me. Sport is now off my list of interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If the Aussies have everyone fit I think they might sneak it. Their defence has been immense (except against us), their back-row is as good as any, and they will score tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their defence has been immense (except against us), their back-row is as good as any, and they will score tries. NZ will have taken a lot from how we played against them, particularly putting their attacking play under pressure a bit wider to prevent passes flowing and look for interceptions. I'm fairly confident you'll see at least one intercept try from the kiwis this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitch Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I think the all blacks will win it. there backs are a lot better than the argies and they had a lot of chances to score if they just passed the ball out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
