Good results all round.

Eng VS Aus is going to be a great match.

What a try by the Fijians against Wales.

They are calling it the Try of the tournament.


Aus - England game. Who is going to win ?

Aw, it's just like old times - watching the rugby with my Dad. :)

Made it to the house in time for the start of the Scotland v South Africa match. Phew!

England out, and deservedly so. Again they were ill-disciplined and really didn't have any bottle. I don't think it matters if Lancaster stays or goes, I don't think he's got the players to work with. Still not sure why Cipriani didn't make the squad even.

Well done to the Aussies as well. Outplayed England in every department.

Still think it's the All Blacks who are going to win. They're doing the job efficiently and haven't really broken into a sweat yet.

Agree on all aspects.

I'll add, the win will give Aus heart that the possibility exists to win against NZ if all goes right.
After all,,they beat not a few months ago !!! so should make an interesting game.

Yup. England put up a good fight but were always outmatched. Looked a bit like they lost heart 3/4 of the way through but rallied well for a stoic finish. Well done both teams.

Bugger the Rugby world cup.! I find myself wandering around whistling national anthems. This is not good.

Didn't need to watch the SA match. I could hear that they were winning by the noise from our neighbour 100m away. Took the p1ss when the Japs beat them though. Bad form with England especially at Twickers.

Very good!

Was great seeing the joy of the Uruguayan players/fans just now when they got a try against Fiji. It's these 'minnow' moments that make a sporting world cup special.

Nip and tuck, but Jockistan made it to the quarter-finals, probably to make an ignominious exit.

I did see the last half of the Aus v Wales game (bloke shuffled off to the kitchen to make dinner). Oooh, incredible defence by Australia.

Bloody good effort by the Irish this afternoon. Well deserved win, but a shame about the injuries. Sean O'Brien really let his mates down with this sneaky one.
