Typical South African attitude, if you can't beat 'em, kick 'em. Why can't your egg-chasers play the same way as your cricketers, hard but fair ?

By the way, when you say "typical South African atttitude" I hope you're referring specifically to our rugby team and not making it a general comment on all South Africans.

Indeed, I thought the Why can't your egg-chasers play the same way as your cricketers, hard but fair ? bit clarified that ? Nothing but respect for the cricket team (apart from that gobby little shite Boucher though).

67-14 enough for you ?

argies top of the table now to boot

none of us were right on the correct first try scorer, but your selection got a hat trick!

sorry jeff - you think rugby players are thick? - have you ever heard a footy player interviewed? (le saux excepted)

traditionally in england most players come from public schools (so a bit posh) & go on to be doctors & the like either that or they go to university.

apart from props of course who are just mad.

67-14 enough for you ? nah. i didn´t like their 14. they attacked us twice and they made 2 tries. the score was huge but i feel we´re not playing well enough. we make too many mistakes passing the ball and it could be lethal against Ireland! :nonono:

how could i know Fede Méndez would score a try? he doesn´t score a lot, you know! :laugh: and yes, Matín Gaitán made 3. i thought so because Quesada use to play a lot with his centers. i had that advantage over you! :wink: i hope Quesada plays 10 and Felipe Contepomi plays 12 the next time. Felipe miss a lot of shots with his foot and Quesada is an expert even if he´s worst with his hands. i guess all the important games will be decided by very few points. so we can´t give that advantage having Quesada on the bench! :nonono:

Pumas 50 vs 3 Romania

we did what we had to do. even we got the bonus point (we made 7 tries). now it all depends on our match against Ireland... that will be a tough one :nod:

btw, no surprises so far on the tournament.....

Imagine if the Pumas beat Ireland (scoring enough tries to get the bonus point) and then in the final pool A match Ireland beat the wallabies, the wallabies go out :laugh: Tall ask but....

23 Oct 2003, 15:21

there´s another posibility too. if there´s a triple tie then the wallabies will pass because of their high scoring. then i guess Ireland will have more points than us.... :nonono:

26 Oct 2003, 01:58

1 hour to go... Argentina vs Ireland... the one who wins continues on the tournament.... the other goes home....

i´m nervous! :nervous:

Pumas 15 vs 16 Ireland

i can´t believe it! :cry:

we played badly today. a couple of things done right and the game was ours... well, that´s it. we´re out of the tournament. Ireland´s got their revenge. claps for them... and claps for the Pumas too. we´re getting there to the top teams. it´s just a matter of time and the results will be seen.

but i´m sad right now! :(

Great game by Argentina against Ireland (score 15-16), for sure the better team lost, I can't quite work out how Ireland won.

In the England / Samoa game (score 35-22), again the better team lost and I for one wouldn't put money on South Africa against Samoa next weekend. Martin Johnson summed it up when he said that England won't even be favourites to win next Sunday (v. Uruguay) let alone the QF.

This World Cup is getting better and better and we have had some fantastic matches this weekend, roll-on the QFs in a couple of weeks. :)

Argentina needs more regular rugby against good opposition and they'll improve even more. As for Eng not being favourites against Uruguay? If they put less than 50 points past them it will be a miracle. SA is going to kick Samoa's arse - they love playing against teams that like to get physical.

26 Oct 2003, 22:45

i agree that more competition will be better for us. but they don´t let us participate on the 3 nations. and i don´t understand it. if the 5 nations allowed Italy to play (they loose ALL the games) i don´t know what´s the problem of making a 4 nations. i´d bet we could make good games against SA. Australia and NZ are miles away but they don´t win us like before. Australia couldn´t even get the bonus point against us at their own home. :shrug:
